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.

Bathroom Laminate FAQ's

Yes, you can use laminate flooring in bathrooms, as long as it's designed specifically for moisture resistance for a certain period of time. Our water-resistant laminate flooring is made to endure the humidity and potential spills common in bathroom environments, making it an excellent choice for this space.
It’s possible to install laminate flooring over existing bathroom tiles, but it requires some preparation. The tiles must be in good condition, free of cracks or loose grout, and the surface should be level. Also, you need an appropriate underlay designed for moisture protection. With all these in place, you can put laminate over your bathroom tiles, but we do recommend removing any pre-existing flooring before we install new laminate flooring.
Both vinyl and water-resistant laminate flooring can be suitable for bathrooms, but they have different characteristics. Vinyl is generally more water-resistant and easier to maintain, making it a popular choice. However, laminate flooring can offer a more authentic wood or stone look, and some high-quality options are designed to be highly water-resistant and durable in damp environments.
Cleaning water-resistant laminate flooring is relatively straightforward. Sweep or vacuum the laminate regularly to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a laminate-specific cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the laminate surface over time.
Water-resistant laminate flooring is a type of laminate that has been specifically made to withstand moisture and humidity better than traditional laminate for a certain period of time. It typically features a tighter core structure and special coatings or sealants that prevent water from penetrating and causing damage.
The level of water resistance in laminate flooring can vary depending on the manufacturer and specific product. However, water-resistant laminate flooring, like our bathroom laminate, is designed to withstand moisture exposure, spills, and humidity. It's important to follow proper installation and maintenance guidelines to ensure maximum water resistance.
Water-resistant laminate flooring is a worthwhile investment, especially for bathrooms and other areas prone to moisture. While it may be more expensive than standard laminate, the added protection against water damage can extend the lifespan of your flooring and prevent costly repairs or replacements.
When installing laminate flooring in a bathroom, you need to use an appropriate underlay designed for moisture protection. This typically involves a vapour barrier or moisture-resistant foam underlay that acts as a barrier between the subfloor and the laminate planks. This prevents moisture from seeping through and causing damage.
