Quality Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring

Are you considering a change in your flooring? Are you looking for a quality flooring installation that does not hurt your wallet?

You should consider laminate flooring, which continues to be one of the most popular choices alongside engineered wood flooring. It also continues to develop and become even better as we will show you with the new AC6 Range.

Laminate flooring is very hardwearing and can stand up to heavy traffic, making them a great option for those on the go.

Laminate flooring can weather high traffic with minimal damage, and can offer UV resistance. It also does not scratch or discolour as easily as hardwood floors. Also is very affordable and easy installation meaning that the cost of labour is minimal or free when installing yourself, perfect for those with DIY projects or large developments where you have time scales and budgets to meet.

Laminate flooring is a great choice if you want a high-end hardwood look but need something more durable for pets and kids. Laminate is a much better choice against scratches and dents. It is also much more affordable than hardwood or LVT.

Laminate Flooring Lifespan: 20-30 years for high quality with proper installation.

Laminate is formed by several bonded layers:

You can install up to 144m² without joints, even in doorways! Our Durable technology flooring is made with low-swelling HDF board (less than 8%) and has a lifetime guarantee in your home.

Laminate flooring is resistant to scratches, stains, and dents. It also offers noise reduction, so it is perfect if you have pets and children. Do not worry about damages, as it is a reliable flooring to the last usage.

You can check the AC rating of the laminate floor to know its durability level. AC1 is the less durable, and AC 6 is the most durable. An AC 5, like this example, or an AC 6 is an excellent rating to pick.

The versatility of laminate flooring continues to improve. Now there are products such as water-resistant laminate flooring available in the AC5 and AC6 range.

It is the perfect flooring for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, and most other rooms! It is not advised in wet rooms as you need to look for safety flooring or tiles where the joints are completely sealed.

Scotia beading covers the gaps around the edges of laminate flooring, and these can be ordered to match your chosen flooring so there is a seamless change.

What lasts longer vinyl or laminate?

Laminate also has a longer lifespan and better overall durability than vinyl. As a quality laminate which is 8mm or thicker is more forgiven with uneven floors, whereas a vinyl must be laid on a perfectly even floor, also laminate flooring is thicker making it easier to lay, quieter to walk on and are better to hide small irregularities in the subfloor. We find that most people prefer to lay a 12mm thick laminate in high-traffic areas.

The wear layer of laminate flooring makes its durability one of the best out of all flooring. It depends on the flooring quality, foot traffic, and what products you use to clean the flooring. However, it usually lasts between 15 to 30 years!

The only disadvantage of laminate flooring or LVT is that it cannot be sanded or refinished like an engineered hardwood. If laminate is heavily worn, it must be replaced.

If you get laminate underlay, your flooring is less likely to get damaged. Underlay allows the floor to sit equally so that the laminate flooring can be installed in the best way. We recommend that you must use laminate underlay.
