Laminate flooring is a special type of flooring that is an alternative to more costly engineered or hardwood flooring. Laminate flooring is made of layers of material bonded (laminated) together for strength. Laminate flooring uses materials such as resin and wood fiber compacted under pressure to create the final product which is then made into planks.

The surface of a laminate plank is actually an image, printed from film onto a thin decorative layer, which is then treated with a wearlayer. The high resolution of the film allows an extremely authentic appearance. The finished material is similar in feel to a kitchen countertop. A variety of finishes are available from wood grain to color.
