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 made up of multiple layers. Each layer serves a different purpose, from stopping the echo of footsteps with the backing to a durable, UV-resistant finish on the top.
One of the many benefits of laminate is its durability. Our laminate comes in a range of hardness, with AC3 through to AC5 being the most durable. AC3 is designed for domestic use, while AC5 is rated for commercial use, like shops or foyers. This means our laminate can withstand kids, pets, furniture and heavy foot traffic.
