Laminate
Laminate flooring
consists of four main components that are bonded together. A
wear-resistant decorative surface made of resin-based melamine/aluminum
oxide is bonded to a moisture resistant wood composition-based core. A
balancing backing is bonded to the underside of the core. On the top is a
clear cap sheet of aluminum oxide, which provides the protection and
stain resistance. Since the resin-filled wear layer is so dense, it
becomes extremely difficult to stain, scratch or burn. Green LaminatesLaminate flooring is considered earth-friendly because it is incredibly durable, has a core made of recycled and certified woods, and has extremely low emissions. Newer materials, such as Cork and Marmoleum, have used laminate technology to create a whole new range of flooring options.

For busy families whose floors need to stand up to
kids and pets, laminate flooring is a great option. Laminate flooring
has been a fashionable option in Europe for more than 20 years, and it's
rapidly gaining popularity in the United States. The
most common designs have a wood grain appearance; some are made to look
like stone or marble. Laminates are designed to look good for many
years with a minimum amount of maintenance.
