Laminate flooring is a flooring product which is made by layering a thin sheet of decorative material over particleboard or a synthetic base. The decorative material can be designed to look like wood, stone, or tile, and it is generally covered with a coat of sealant to prevent it from breaking down. The advantage to laminate flooring is that it is almost always cheaper than the thing it is trying to imitate. In other words, the cost for installing a maple floor can get quite prohibitive, but laminate which is designed to look like maple can be relatively cheap to obtain. Laminate flooring is also designed to be very easy to install; people with no construction experience can often put a laminate floor together with minimal effort. The low cost and easy installation are appealing to many consumers. Less
