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.

Living Room Laminate FAQ's

Laminate flooring is a great choice for living rooms for many reasons. First and foremost, it’s highly durable and can withstand the wear and tear of a high-traffic area like a living room. It’s also scratch-resistant, making it ideal for homes with children or pets.

Laminate flooring is incredibly easy to maintain and clean, so your living room will look fresh with little effort. It's also a cost-effective option compared to hardwood or tile floors, and it’s available in different styles and finishes.

There are several options for laminate flooring in your living room. One of the most popular choices is oak-effect laminate, which offers a natural look that complements various interior styles. If you prefer a more modern style, you might consider sleek, grey-toned laminate or even opt for a wood-effect laminate with a distressed or rustic finish.

For high-moisture areas or homes with pets, water-resistant laminate flooring is an excellent option. It ensures your floors remain protected from spills and accidents. We also offer laminate flooring that mimics the look of stone or tile.

The cost of laminating a living room depends on factors such as its size, the type of laminate flooring you choose, and any additional materials or services required for installation.
