Laminate flooring is a flooring made up of layers of high-density fibreboard, foam, printed patterns, and a protective clear coating. All of these work together to make a beautiful, sturdy, and affordable flooring option.
One other, less focused-on benefit of laminate flooring is that it is incredibly low maintenance. In fact, manufacturers recommend simply cleaning with a spray mop. Compare that with solid timber’s waxing, polishing, sealing, or staining and you’re saving yourself time and money.
Our laminate flooring comes in standard or extra-large planks, matte to high-gloss finishes, dark brown to light grey and just about every combination you could imagine. If you, for some reason, can’t find what you’re looking for, let us help you find it!
