What is the thickness of Laminate Flooring

Laminate cores range in thickness from 6mm to 12mm, with a thicker core usually denoting a more stable product. An  exception to this rule is High Pressure Laminate (HPL), which although has a much thinner core compared to (DPL), is stronger and more durable. Composition of core material is also an important factor.

A good laminate floor is constructed using High density Fiberboard (HDF) as the core material, which has been treated with water repellent chemicals, offering stability and a high level of water resistance
