Laminate flooring, also known as Floating Wood Tile in the United States, is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product that is integrated using a lamination process. Laminate flooring imitates wood (or sometimes stone) with photographic applique layer under a transparent protective layer. The inner core is usually composed of melamine resin and fiberboard material [1] The European standard EN 13329: 2000 lays down requirements and test methods for laminate flooring.
The popularity of laminated flooring has increased dramatically, probably because it may be easier to install and maintain than traditional surfaces such as hardwood floors. It also has the advantage of being less expensive and less expensive to install than luxury vinyl flooring and other alternative floor materials. It is quite durable and hygienic (several brands contain antibacterial resin) and is relatively easy to maintain.
