We refer to laminate flooring as a moisture-resistant product. It’s not waterproof. That doesn’t mean it’s not suitable to use in kitchens though.

The short answer is that there isn’t any laminate flooring on the market that’s totally scratch proof. It’s just a fact that any flooring material, from natural wood to engineered timber or hybrid flooring, can be damaged. However, there are a few factors that will determine how resistant your laminate is to damage.
The answer is both yes and no. Laminate flooring that’s 8mm with a medium density fibre (MDF) core is used by a lot of big retail stores and builders that work on big-volume projects. It’s essentially a mass-market product and is popular.
Laminate flooring is a flooring consisting of several layers. Each layer provides a different function, from reducing the echo of footsteps on the backing to a strong, UV-resistant finish on the top.
Among the many benefits of laminate flooring is its durability. Our laminate comes in a range of hardness, with AC3 through to AC5 being the most popular. AC3 is perfect for domestic use, while AC5 is rated for light commercial use, like foyers or shops floors. This means our laminate can withstand pets, kids, furniture and heavy foot traffic very well.
