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 composite flooring, made of high density fibreboard, printed woodgrain, and a UV-resistant coating. This means it looks just like solid timber but is much more affordable and durable.
One of the other benefits of laminate flooring is that it is incredibly easy to install. Each board has grooves which lock into one another, providing a quick installation time. This means less hassle for you and less money spent on installation. Another benefit is that, should one of the boards become damaged, it is simply a matter of removing the damaged board and replacing it.
