Poconos, Lehigh Valley, and Northern New Jersey Laminate Flooring

Laminate floors have risen in popularity in recent years due to lower cost than wood or ceramic floors. A Laminate floor will combine the natural looking design of a hardwood or stone with a very durable finish. Many people use laminate floors in the same places that hardwood floors or carpet flooring would be used. A laminate floor is a synthetic material made to mimic the look of a solid hardwood or stone finish. Much like with engineered hardwood floors, laminate flooring has layers to it. There are 4 main layer types.

• Wear Layer - which is a clear layer that protects the flooring from scratches, stains, water, and other things.
• Aesthetic Layer - which is what the floor itself looks like. This is accomplished by printing a high-resolution image onto the floor's surface material.
• Board or Core Layer - this is a high-density or medium-density durable fiberboard formed into panels and heated and pressed together.
• Base or Back Layer - the layer that balances the board to help keep it straight. These layers also can come with foam padding to enhance noise reduction and comfort. This layer additionally helps against moisture too.
