What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is a multi-layered synthetic and wood fibre product installed as a clicked-in floating floor upon a moisture barrier layer. It’s affordable, easy to install, and resistant to scratches and wear.

Benefits of Laminate Flooring

• Broad range of decors and specs, from affordable, budget-friendly options to thick, XXL, and high-technology ranges.
• Scratch, stain, and wear resistant, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. More robust in sunlight.
• Click-and-lock systems allow for quick or DIY installation, reducing the project timeline and cost.

Challenges of Laminate Flooring

• Sensitive to water, and can swell or warp if exposed to excessive moisture. Not recommended for bathrooms. Kitchen areas require board joint treatments.
• Hard surface and can sound ‘clickety’ under foot due to floating installation and if acoustic barriers are not used.
• Requires stringent adherence to installation expansion gaps and breaks, limiting the seamless flow of floor from room to room.
