Laminate flooring is not real wood, laminate flooring is. The outer layer of the laminate is cut from a wood grain on paper impregnated with melamine, are not real wood. The pinnacle layer of wood flooring consists of high quality wood. Hardwood floors are made up of multiple layers of wood that are cross -red for steadfastness and glue to a plywood bottom.
