FAQs
  • Laminate flooring is a type of multi-layer synthetic flooring designed to look like real wood, stone, or tile. It consists of a high-density fibreboard core, a moisture-resistant backing layer, and a printed decorative layer topped with a clear protective coating. Laminate offers a durable and affordable alternative to hardwood or natural stone flooring.
  • Most standard laminate flooring is water-resistant but not waterproof. Our laminate flooring's protective coating and backing layer help prevent moisture from seeping in. However, you still need to clean up any standing water promptly to prevent damage over time. Some ranges of our laminate flooring have a 48-72 hour water resistant feature.

  • Here are some tips for cleaning your laminate flooring:

    • Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris
    • Use a damp mop with a laminate-specific cleaner for deeper cleaning
    • Avoid excessive water or harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface
    • Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining
    • Place mats at entryways to reduce tracked-in dirt and moisture

  • The choice of the best underlay for laminate flooring depends on several factors. You can find our range of Laminate Flooring Underlays on our Laminate Floor Underlays Page here.
    You can also speak to your in store experts about your project and they can advise on the most suitable Underlay for Laminate Flooring for your project. 

  • It's generally not recommended to install laminate flooring directly over carpet. The carpet's soft and uneven surface can cause the laminate planks to become unstable and shift over time, leading to cracks or separations. For the best results, the existing carpet should be removed, and the subfloor should be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions before installing laminate.

Dark Wood Laminate FAQ's

Dark laminate flooring can be used in virtually any room. It’s an especially popular choice for kitchens and living rooms because the colour creates a cosy feel. The durability of laminate flooring also makes dark laminate an ideal option for high-traffic areas.
Some of the most popular dark shades for laminate flooring include black, dark shades of grey and dark shades of brown.

There are pros and cons to both dark and light laminate flooring. Dark floors better hide dirt, dust and stains and require less maintenance. They also have a rich look that can make a space feel inviting. However, dark laminate can make some rooms appear smaller, which adds to the cosy feel but may not be ideal for smaller rooms. 

Light laminate, on the other hand, can open up a room and create an airy, bright atmosphere. However, it shows dirt more easily. The choice will come down to personal preference and the specific needs of your space.

For routine cleaning, vacuum or sweep the floors regularly to remove loose dirt and debris. 

For a natural, cost-effective option, make a solution of one cup of household vinegar mixed with one gallon of warm water. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasives or excessive water, as this can damage the laminate surface over time.
