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 from high density fibre board, a printed woodgrain layer and a clear protective covering. This gives it a quiet, comfortable, and attractive finish.
When you think of laminate flooring, one of the things you might not think about is the installation. Installing laminate is a quick and easy process, thanks to our click-lock planks which attach without glue or nails. This means that unlike solid timber, which requires sanding, staining, sealing and curing times, laminate flooring can be walked on immediately!
Our range of laminate floorings vary in size, finish, colour and texture, meaning that no matter what you’re looking for, we have it! Opt for a dark red-brown like our Palomina XL in an matte, embossed finish, or go for a classic grey with subtle notches with Light Grey Oak.
With over 40 years of flooring know-how, we can advise you on the best choice for your space. We will never upsell you on a product that won’t suit your space or needs, because we believe a good customer experience is worth more than anything else.
