Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that can include almost any image, it is available in a wide selection of different effects to mimic the appearance of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it may in addition include embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring.
