The word laminate means “to make by uniting several layers“and was once used in the wood flooring industry to describe engineered flooring. Today, the word has been “captured” by the plastic laminate industry to describe flooring with a melamine top layer over a photograph of whatever they are trying to mimic, laminated on top of a reconstituted powdered wood called fiberboard. Except for the plastic top coat, every part is still from a tree and eventually exhibits the same response to moisture and wear-and-tear.
