Montserrat Summa Antique Pearl Laminate Wood Flooring

Waterproof laminate flooring combines the beauty of hardwood with a construction type to last a lifetime and the ease of DIY installation. Laminate is constructed with a backing layer, a core layer, and a design layer. The core layer is made of either a medium density or high density fiberboard which allows the floor to resist expansion and contraction due to moisture and changes in temperature in the environment. The design or image layer gives you that real hardwood aesthetic and is typically finished with a wear layer that protects your floor from surface abrasion. Modern technology has also allowed for textured designs that will have you mistaking laminate flooring for authentic hardwood.
