Laminate Flooring Layers
Laminate is the result of fusing a combination of wood-based materials, layered on top of one another in the shape of a plank or tile designed to look and feel like natural wood, stone or ceramic materials. The most common makeup includes four main layers:
- A surface wear layer for protection against most common forms of damage
- A photographic decorative layer featuring a wood or tile design
- A high-density core layer for strength & stability makes up most of the plank
- A bottom backing layer for balance, moisture protection and underlayment
Which is better: hardwood or laminate?
Hardwood has long been sought after for its beauty, durability, and the value it can add to a home. Nowadays, to help with the affordability of home construction and sales, laminate flooring is being substituted for wood’s warm, natural charm. At Jabara’s, we offer both options, which we recommend to different customers based on their specific needs. Here’s how these two types of flooring stack up against one another:..
HARDWOOD
- Made from natural, harvested trees
- Scratches, moisture damage and wear are common, but add value & character
- Can be refinished many times via sanding out imperfections
LAMINATE
- Made from composite wood materials
- Resists scratches, moisture and wear, all while being easy to clean
- Up to 50% less expensive to install, snapping together easy for DIY projects
