Laminate flooring has come a long way since it first was introduced in the 1970s. The versatile flooring comprises layers of synthetic material engineered to look like wood, stone, or another surface. Most modern laminate flooring is made of melamine resin and fiberboard materials in four or more layers, depending on their construction:

Topcoat: The top, or wear, layer typically is transparent and is made of materials like urethane and aluminum oxide. Its purpose is protection from stains, scratches, and ultraviolet rays.

●Visual layer: Also called the design layer, this is the decorative layer of laminate flooring. Through special photographic processes, this layer can mimic the look of hardwood or another natural material.

●Core material: The thickest section of laminate lies just above the backing, and is made of high-density fiberboard from soft wood, hardwood, or recycled materials. ●This layer provides structure and with special resins can protect against conditions like high humidity or temperature changes.

●Backing: Also called underlayment, the bottom layer is thin and waterproof to protect against moisture.

●Foam underlay: Laying a thin foam layer beneath the laminate adds to soundproofing.

The durability and low price of laminate flooring have helped it garner a reputation as an affordable alternative to hardwood or natural stone flooring.

Standards for Laminate Flooring Durability

Before delving into the pros and cons of laminate flooring, it helps to know that many manufacturers assign an abrasion criteria (AC) rating to each product. This is a European standard that details how well a floor holds up to wear. The higher the AC rating, the more wear it can take; homeowners typically need only levels 1 through 3.

Abrasion Criteria Rating Use

AC1 Moderate residential use (bedrooms, closets)

AC2 General residential use (living rooms, kitchens)

AC3 Heavy residential use or moderate commercial traffic

AC4 General commercial traffic

AC5 Heavy commercial applications

Abrasion class is only one mark of durability, however. The North American Laminate Floor Association (NALFA) provides a certification seal to flooring that passes a series of 14 performance tests, such as load, resistance to stains and impacts, and wear resistance. As of June 2024, the organization was reviewing its testing standards, but many products carry a NALFA-certified label.
