The laminate floor is composed of several layers which have been fused together to form durable boards. The top layer is transparent and is specially treated to achieve high wear resistance against scratches, burns, dents and stains. The decorative layer gives a laminate floor its aesthetic wood species look. A core (central) layer, made of high density fiberboard (HDF), supports the weight and stress of foot traffic. Strength and stability is further ensured by the bottom stabilizing layer.
