What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring generally consists of the high-density fiberboard core with dyed or printed paper surface that is then coated or finished. It can be used in even more extreme humidity change areas. It can be floated or glued. Most laminates are now designed with a “click” or self-locking connection making them easier and quicker to install. Laminates are generally lower in price and some now come with a textured surface to more accurately replicate wood or other flooring products. It will expand and contract but not to the degree that solid wood will.
