Laminate flooring is a multi-layer wood product that resists stains, scratches, and dents. The backing layer provides the foundation while the fiberboard core offers stability and protects against daily wear. The design layer, or the high tech digital image of wood, ceramic, or stone, is printed above the core. It's protected by a clear wear layer. It is easy to judge the durability of laminate flooring by noting the Abrasion Criteria rating. Certain ratings indicate that these are considered
waterproof laminate floors. An AC3 rating indicates flooring that will stand up to heavy residential use. When a brand is labeled ‘waterproof,' product specifications list details about exposure to water. Likely, the floor will be damaged if it is covered with water for more than two days. In general, the sooner water is cleaned up, the better.
