Ive seen laminate that looks just like real wood or ceramic tile. How do they do that?
Laminate flooring has become the flooring of choice for many homeowners due to its ability to closely emulate todays most popular hard surfaces. Using photographs, laminates lock in the realism of a hardwood strip, weathered or natural stone and traditional brick. When these floors first came to the U.S., they were often simple looks and patterns. Today, laminate floors offer an unparalleled level of realism heretofore unattainable. With embossing and now embossed-in-register technology its getting more and more difficult to tell the difference.
