Laminate flooring is a very widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a variety of synthetic composite flooring made up of several layers, typically with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it comes in a wide range of different looks to mimic the appearance of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it can also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a number of rooms, but be careful if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used.
