Manufacturers of laminate flooring make use of highly durable melamine plastic material for the top surface that avoids fading due to sunlight. These floors are stain, scratch and impact resistant and combining it with strong core-board underneath can make it withstand up to 1200 pounds of pressure per square inch.
