What Is Laminate Flooring?
Unlike hardwood flooring, laminate floors are a synthetic product. They are made from four different layers, resulting in a durable material that looks great. Let’s take a closer look at these different components.
- Wear layer: This helps protect your floors from daily wear and tear, helping to prevent scratches and stains. The wear layer is easy to clean, even if you spill liquids on your laminate flooring.
- Decor layer: This is a printed image that gives your laminate flooring your desired look. Depending on what you choose, it might look like stone, wood, or tile, resulting in a beautiful design.
- Core layer: This component helps make your flooring dent-resistant, so it maintains its structure even years after installation.
- Backer layer: This final layer provides extra stability and support.

Are you curious to learn more about why laminate flooring is such a popular option with local homeowners? Take a closer look at some of the benefits you can expect to experience when you choose this flooring material.
- The AC rating: The Abrasion Criteria (AC) is a 5-scale resistance rating. The higher the AC rating, the more durable your laminate flooring will be. Most residential laminate flooring materials have an AC rating of 3 or 4.
- Finishes: Think about which material you want your laminate flooring to look like, whether it’s stone or a specific wood like chestnut.
- Texture: To simulate the look of hardwood, you can choose different textures like high gloss, embossed, and hand-scraped options for your laminate flooring.
- Thickness: The thicker your laminate flooring, the more durable it will be. Thicker options also help dampen noise in your home.
