Frequently Asked Questions
What is laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a strong, hardwearing flooring option designed to mimic the look of natural timber. Just like the real thing, timber-look laminate is designed in boards, which, when laid together, have the appearance of natural wooden floorboards.
The core of the boards is made from HDF — a mixture of melamine resin and fibreboard. This gives the product its inner strength. A printed layer is placed on top of this core. Modern printing techniques mean that laminate flooring can take on the appearance of a wide variety of different natural woods, from light to dark, so you can achieve the look you want in your home.
Finally, a UV-protective topcoat is added over the top, which means your timber look laminate flooring will maintain its appearance for a long time to come.
What are the benefits of timber laminate flooring?
Timber laminate flooring has many benefits for homeowners. Firstly, it enables you to achieve the beautiful appearance of natural timber while providing a lot more strength and durability. It doesn’t scratch or stain as easily as timber flooring, so you can enjoy your floor without having to worry too much. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas of the home, as well as an excellent choice for those with children or pets.
Laminate flooring is also considerably more cost-effective than real timber, so you can get the look you want on a budget. It is easy to install and won’t require any additional finishing once it has been laid.
Timber-look laminate flooring is designed to be strong and long-lasting, making it a great investment. It won’t fade, and it is easy to clean and maintain. It’s an all-around practical product while still giving your home a beautiful appearance.
Can laminate flooring be installed over existing floors?
Yes. Laminate can often be installed over existing tile, vinyl or timber, provided the surface is clean, flat and dry. Underlay is recommended for best results and comfort.
Is laminate suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
Some high-quality laminates are water-resistant, making them fine for use in kitchens. However, it’s best to avoid wet areas like bathrooms unless you're using hybrid flooring instead.
What’s the difference between 8mm, 12mm and 14mm boards?
Thicker laminate boards (12mm and up) offer improved acoustic performance, feel sturdier underfoot and handle minor subfloor imperfections better. 8mm options are lighter and more budget-friendly but still durable for everyday use.
How long does laminate flooring last?
With proper care, laminate flooring can last 15–25 years. Thicker boards and high-traffic rated styles may last even longer in well-maintained homes.
