Laminate Floor Materials Laminate flooring consists of four layers: a wear layer, an image layer, a base, and a bottom underlayment. The wear layer is a durable, thin, clear plastic sheet above a photorealistic image of wood or stone added to a wood-chip composite base. At the very bottom is a thin underlayment.

Unlike natural flooring options like wood, stone or cork, laminate flooring is a synthetic material. It’s made up of four different layers—wear, décor, core and backer—that are sealed together in the lamination process. It is intentionally designed to be durable as well as affordable.

Laminate flooring is typically a synthetic type of flooring with a decorative top layer that mimics a real finish such as wood or stone. It is made from multiple layers with the main layer being made from a high density fibreboard (HDF).

Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic flooring that is designed to look like natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. It is made by fusing together several layers of materials using heat and pressure, typically including a high-density fiberboard core, a decorative layer with a printed image, and a clear protective top layer.

Laminate flooring simulates wood (or sometimes stone) with a photographic appliqué layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board materials.
