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 layered flooring made of a core, backing and UV-protected print adhered to the high-density fibreboard core. This results in a product that is more durable, cheaper, easier to clean and easier to install.
Ease of installation is a little-known benefit of laminate. Between the click-lock system, no need to glue down, as a laminate floor requires a underlay to aid as a moisture barrier. Laminate can be installed very quickly. This means less downtime for you in order to walk freely around your house, and less cost of paying the installer for their time.
