Laminate flooring (also called floating wood tile) is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process

 

Laminate flooring simulates wood with a photographic applique layer under a clear protective layer.
The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board materials.

Laminate flooring has grown significantly in popularity, perhaps because it may be easier to install and maintain than more traditional surfaces. It may also have the advantages of costing less than alternative flooring materials.

It is reasonably durable and relatively easy to maintain.
