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. Our 12mm high density fibre (HDF) flooring, for example is perfectly fine in a kitchen because there is no element of heat and humidity changes in a kitchen compared to that of […]
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 a clear coating, a wood grain pattern print, high density fibreboard core and a backboard, giving it stability. This makes the flooring durable, attractive and more affordable than solid timber.
The laminate we provide is rated to be used in commercial settings, meaning it is extremely resistant to scratching, denting, and warping. It also won’t flex in mild humidity changes like solid timber will.
We understand that when it comes to flooring, you probably have a specific design in mind and don’t really want to compromise. Luckily, Karma Flooring stock a huge range of colours, sizes and patterns of laminate flooring. From light to heavy grain inclusion, light to dark, we have it all!
