Laminate flooring consists of multiple layers fused together through a lamination process. Typically, these layers include a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core for stability, a photographic layer that replicates the appearance of wood or stone, and a transparent wear layer for protection against scratches and stains. This construction makes laminate flooring durable, easy to maintain, and resistant to fading, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial settings.
