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.

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 comprised of 4 layers:
All of these layers work together to create a strong and durable product. Our laminate flooring is rated from AC3 to AC5, which means AC5 can be used in commercial buildings like shops or in lobbies, where dirt, high foot traffic and spills would cause damage. This means even kids, pet’s sharp nails and many visitors are no match for our laminate.
We have so many models of laminate to choose from: embossed or smooth, matte or high-gloss, light or dark. Whichever model you choose, all of our laminate flooring is made from HDF composed mainly of poplar, which makes our laminate a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
