Laminate flooring is composed of multiple layers, typically consisting of a wear layer, a decorative layer, an inner core, and a backing layer. The wear layer is a transparent, protective top coat that shields the floor from stains, fading, and wear and tear. The decorative layer is a high-resolution photograph that mimics the appearance of natural materials such as wood or stone. The inner core is usually made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF), providing stability and structural support. The backing layer adds additional support and moisture resistance.
