The top layer and bottom layer is cellulose paper that’s been saturated with melamine plastic resins that make the floor scratch-resistant. The design layer is below the upper melamine layer, so it can’t be marked, scuffed or even fade. The core layer is made from compressed wood fibers like particle board. Laminate has 5 grades: AC1 is suitable for lighter, more infrequent traffic, e.g. a bedroom. AC2 is suitable for general residential use in living rooms and dining rooms. AC3 can be applied to more varied locations, such as small offices and other light commercial location
