laminate flooring
Faux wood surface
Laminate flooring is a synthetic floor covering made of layered materials—typically a photographic image of wood or stone over fiberboard, topped with a clear protective coating.
It's cheaper and easier to install than hardwood but less durable and cannot be refinished: We put laminate flooring in the basement.
