No, laminate is not made entirely of plastic. Unlike luxury vinyl flooring which features a 100 percent synthetic plastic or stone-plastic composite core, laminate is built primarily around a compressed wood-composite core made from high-density fiberboard (HDF). While laminate does utilize a clear melamine plastic resin top wear layer to protect against scratches and a photographic plastic-coated paper layer for its design, its thick structural body is wood-based.
