Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate any type of image, it is available in a huge selection of different looks to mimic the appearance of many other types of flooring 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 types of flooring.
