1. A laminated surface covering, comprising:
a facing material comprising vinyl;
a backing material comprising a styrene butadiene rubber component matrix; and
a bonding material,
wherein the bonding material adheres the facing material to the backing material,
wherein the facing material is configured to melt when the temperature of the facing material rises to be between 165° F. and 248° F. due to unexpected exposure to heat or flame, at which time the facing material melts, partially encasing the backing material in vinyl.
