Laminate: How It’s Made

A home consists of what's under your roof and what's under your feet. Floor coverings have a huge influence on your home and home life. They impact interior beauty, design, comfort, livability and upkeep, thus floor coverings can make, or break, a home. Being familiar with laminate construction helps you understand and evaluate its performance aspects: why certain laminate floors wear better and longer.

• Multitude of designs, patterns, and textures
• Four main components bonded together:
  • Melamine plastic backing- stability and moisture from the subfloor
  • Core board for moisture resistance
  • Decorative layer on top of core board
  • Durable wear layer for protection, containing aluminum oxide
    • Layers are combined with high/direct pressure

Manufacturing
