The short answer is that there isn’t any laminate flooring on the market that’s totally scratch proof.

Laminate flooring is a layered flooring made of a core, backing, wear layer and UV-protected print adhered to the core. This produces a product that is cheaper, more durable, easier to clean and easier to install.
Ease of installation is a lesser-known benefit of laminate. With an easy click-lock system, laminate can be installed extremely quickly. This means less downtime for you walking freely around your house, and less cost of paying the installer. Laminate flooring always needs a moisture protecting underlay and we can recommend which underlay best suits a customer needs.
