What Is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is a very popular type of floor for living areas, kitchens, hallways and any area that receives high foot traffic but isn’t near constant moisture. Laminate floor consists of a very durable wear layer on top that is printed to look just like wood. Laminate floor typically requires less maintenance than real hardwood, making it extremely popular for many households.
