Laminate flooring is a type of artificial composite flooring made up of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core topped with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly covered with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate any sort of image, it is available in a wide selection of different styles to mimic the aesthetics of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring.
