Merit Laminate – Hydro Laminate – 96-Hour Water Resistance, Long Boards

The Merit range by Clever Choice is laminate flooring supplied and installed by Mayne Rugs & Flooring. Merit sits in the Clever Choice Hydro laminate line: a 12mm plank with 96-hour water resistance, an AC4 wear layer and top marks for scratch resistance. Long 1830mm boards and six patterns in 36 variations suit open-plan living, and the matt surface hides everyday scuffs. Suited to kitchens, living rooms, hallways and homes with kids and pets.

Crystal Spotted Gum is a warm beige tone, modelled on Spotted Gum – warm mid-brown with wavy figure and darker streaks.

Every floor is measured and quoted by our own team, with samples brought to your home so you can see the colour in your own light. We prepare the subfloor, lay the floor, fit matched skirting, scotia or trims and clean up before we leave. Free measure and quote across Sydney and NSW from our Castle Hill and Liverpool showrooms.

Care Tips & Maintenance

Sweep or vacuum (hard-floor head) regularly and mop with a well-wrung microfibre mop. Wipe spills promptly – laminate is water resistant, not waterproof, so standing water should not be left on the floor. Use felt pads under furniture, mats at external doors and avoid steam mops and abrasive cleaners. We supply the manufacturer care and warranty guide with your quote.
