Laminate flooring is a synthetic floor covering that has been designed to look like wood flooring or sometimes stone 
flooring. It has been a popular choice with DIY enthusiasts for decades. Traditionally it offered a cheaper alternative 
to real wood.  
It is constructed from thin, pressed wood board with a repeating printed image of wood fused onto a fiberboard core. 
One thing to note about laminate flooring is that it is not made from plastic but from a collection of wood fibers with 
a top layer of resin acting as a “wear layer”.
