How do you choose the best-in-class laminate flooring for your dream home? Well, to get the job done, the primary thing that one needs to focus on is your interior style, durability requirements and budget. Floorsave designs these laminate floors with a top layer that resists scratches, stains, and fading. This protective layer ensures that the flooring can be easily installed even in areas that experience moderate to heavy use. We recommend seeking further advice for very sunny, south facing areas in your home.

Popular Laminate Flooring Styles 

There are various designs available when it comes to laminate flooring. All these designs replicate natural wood patterns and at the same time offer exceptional durability, making them a sophisticated yet durable choice. 

Popular options include: 

1. Oak laminate flooring: A suitable option for nearly all interior designs because it maintains a timeless appearance that resembles real oak wood. 
2. Wide plank laminate flooring: This flooring comes with a wider board that offers a premium look.
3. Herringbone laminate flooring: Are you looking for an elegant, parquet-inspired design? Well, look no further than herringbone laminate flooring. 
4. Click-lock laminate flooring: The click lock is a secure fitting system, and this flooring is effortless to install, too. 

These styles enable homeowners to achieve the appearance of real wood in their interiors while being made of laminate, at a more affordable price than a traditional engineered wood floor. . 

Laminate vs Vinyl Flooring 

Both the laminate and the vinyl flooring carry two strong and important features with them that can be important considerations for customers. Both of these flooring options are durable and cost-effective in nature, which makes them a quick and considered choice even for interiors with heavy floor usage. If you are looking for a difference, then something worth considering is that laminate flooring typically provides a more realistic wood appearance and textured finish, while vinyl flooring offers enhanced water resistance and softer comfort underfoot. Depending on your personal choices and requirements, you can go for one that suits your household and daily needs. 

Laminate vs Engineered Wood Flooring 

Another common comparison happens to be between laminate vs engineered wood. While on one hand, the laminate flooring uses a synthetic core with a photographic wood design layer, the engineered wood features a real wood veneer on top of a multi-layer core. Engineered wood flooring has a real wood top layer, laminate reflects the same texture and look, but at a more affordable price point.  

FAQs

1.       What is laminate flooring? 

One of the few features of laminate flooring is its multi-layer synthetic structure, which beautifully replicates the look and feel of real wood while resisting some wear and tear.  Laminate flooring is a type of flooring that typically consists of a decorative design layer with an inbuilt durable finish and at the same time also has a high-density core for strength and stability. 

2.       Is laminate flooring waterproof? 

Laminate flooring is somewhat water resistant, which can help a little with initial spills, but it is in no way waterproof. This characteristic is a feature that makes these flooring options suitable for kitchens and typically for households that are quite busy.  

3.       How long does laminate flooring last? 

The life of the laminate flooring greatly depends on the product quality but can typically range from somewhere between 10 and 25 years. Ours come with a 30 year residential warranty and a 10 year light commercial warranty. Apart from the quality, the installation and maintenance also play a key role. 

4.       Can laminate flooring be used in kitchens? 

Yes, of course, however all liquid spills must be quickly removed, and no excessive water can be used in its cleaning. Cleaning should be with a just damp microfibre mop after hoovering or sweeping dust away.   

5.       What thickness laminate flooring is best? 

We often stock 7mm or 8mm laminate for sale in our showroom at competitive prices. Our main laminate range online is a 12mm registered embossed range and has an AC rating of AC4 which gives enhanced durability and sound insulation.
