FAQ
What is laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a multi-layered, cost-effective alternative to real wood or stone. It features a high-resolution photographic layer that realistically mimics natural materials, protected by a durable wear layer. Laminate is highly resistant to scratches, stains and fading, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas. It's also easy to install with click-lock systems and requires minimal maintenance — just regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping.

Which rooms are suitable for laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is incredibly versatile and works beautifully throughout your home. It's durable enough for high-footfall areas like the hallway, living room and dining room. It's also ideal for bedrooms, home offices and conservatories. For kitchens, laminate is a practical and stylish choice, especially when paired with the right underlay. Laminate can also be installed on stairs with proper accessories and preparation.
While some laminate options are water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so for bathrooms, we recommend luxury vinyl flooring instead. For more advice, read our guide on which flooring is best for a bathroom.
