What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is a versatile, cost-effective flooring solution that convincingly mimics the appearance of natural materials like wood or stone. It consists of multiple layers fused together, topped with a high-resolution photographic layer and a durable, clear protective layer.

Laminate Flooring FAQs
How does laminate flooring compare to hardwood?
Laminate flooring offers the look of hardwood at a more affordable price point. It's more resistant to scratches and dents, easier to maintain, and often more suitable for high-moisture areas compared to traditional hardwood floors.
What's the typical lifespan of laminate flooring?
With proper care and maintenance, quality laminate flooring can last between 15 to 25 years in residential settings. Factors such as foot traffic, quality of installation, and regular maintenance all play a role in determining its longevity.
Is laminate flooring suitable for areas prone to moisture?
Many modern laminate products offer improved moisture resistance, making them suitable for areas like kitchens. However, for bathrooms or laundry rooms, it's crucial to choose specially designed water-resistant laminate and ensure proper installation to prevent water damage.
What's the best way to clean and maintain laminate floors?
Laminate floors are relatively low-maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping using a laminate-specific cleaner, is usually sufficient. Avoid excessive water, harsh chemicals, and abrasive cleaning tools to protect the floor's surface.
Can laminate flooring be installed over existing floors?
In many instances, laminate can be installed over existing flooring, provided the surface is clean, dry, and level. This can save time and reduce installation costs. However, we recommend a professional assessment to ensure the subfloor is suitable for a successful laminate installation.
Are laminate floors an eco-friendly option?
Many laminate flooring options are designed with environmental considerations in mind. Look for products made from sustainably sourced materials, with low VOC emissions, and those that are recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. Some manufacturers also offer laminate made partially from recycled materials.
