definition of hardwood floor
These should not be confused with Laminate Flooring which is not wood at all. Laminate flooring is made with a very high quality picture of flooring (usually wood) which is printed in high-definition. Laminated hardwood usually refers to a wood floor constructed with layers and fused together (laminated). To avoid confusion with Laminate Flooring, these floors are called Engineered Hardwood Flooring. Engineered hardwood flooring is comprised of layers, called plys, which are bonded together.
