Quality laminate flooring in Charlotte, NC

 
Laminate flooring is manufactured using a combination of durable wood-based materials, which are layered on top of each other to form a plank. These planks are designed to mimic the look of hardwood, or even stone, with a more comfortable underfoot feel. Laminate flooring is extremely durable because each plank has a protective top layer as well as a high-density core layer for added strength and stability.
 

The layers of laminate

 
Laminate's uniquely layered design gives it strength and stability. The top layer, also known as the overlay or the wear layer, protects against wear, scratching, UV damage, and staining. Next comes the decorative layer, which usually includes a print of a particular style of hardwood, stone, or ceramic. The third layer, the core layer, makes up the bulk of laminate. This high-density material gives the plank its strength. Finally, on the bottom, you can see the backing layer for balance and stability. This layer can be a built-in underlayment substitute.
