Laminate flooring is made of four layers of materials that, when fused together, create a durable and beautiful floor:
1. Wear Layer – the top, clear layer that aids in the resistance of stains, fading & scratches/dents
2. Design Layer – a high-resolution photographic image that showcases the genuine wood look
3. Inner Core – high density fiberboard or HDF, which is an engineered wood product that helps keep the laminate board stable, flat and moisture resistant
4. Backing – an added layer of moisture barrier that protects the floor from warping
