Choosing a Laminate Floor

Laminate flooring is a popular option for many, due to its ease of installation and wide variety of styles and colours, such as beech, cedar, cherry, oak, teak and walnut, with options to suit every budget. It is a low maintenance material which requires minimal effort to retain its clean, classy appearance.

Laminate floors are available in many finishes, replicating wood, stone and even ceramics. Unlike a solid wood floor, the planks that make up a laminate floor are constructed from a number of different materials which are bonded together.

Laminate Flooring Construction

Laminate flooring comprises of a variety of layers:

  1. The base layer

    Provides stability and prevents warping.

  2. The core layer

    Gives laminate its strength and flexibility, and provides more stability.

  3. The décor layer

    Shows the design. The design is usually an image of wood or stone printed on paper.

  4. The protective layer

    This is a clear, melamine resin, providing a tough, durable layer that is resistant to deep scratching and gouging.

All these layers are combined under high pressure and heat to produce the final laminated product.

Considerations for Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring has become a very popular choice in many homes as it's a relatively inexpensive way to have a natural-looking floor. It's easy to install and is versatile, functional and hard wearing.

Although unsuitable for bathrooms, the hard-wearing characteristics of laminate flooring make it ideal for use in kitchens, home offices, playrooms, dining rooms, entrances and hallways.

It is resistant to UV light which means it won't fade or discolour due to sunlight, making it an excellent choice for conservatories.
