Laminate flooring is ideal for nearly any purpose and suits a variety of spaces. Laminate flooring is an extremely durable and long-lasting material, and it’s always a sound investment. This flooring style is a great choice in areas that require a hard surface that is durable and scratch-resistant.
Laminate can also be a great choice for clients who require a flooring solution that meets a specific height requirement, as it’s a thicker choice than options like vinyl plank flooring and can assist in bridging gaps between other materials throughout the home.

While laminate flooring is moisture-resistant, it’s not entirely waterproof. Spilled liquids won’t ruin a laminate floor as long as they’re wiped away. However, standing water can soak into the wood’s pulp core and cause laminate flooring to expand.
Laminate flooring typically has four layers – the backing layer, the core layer (made of tightly compressed recycled wood), the image layer (designed to mimic the look of natural wood, tile or stone), and the wear layer (a clear protective layer that prevents scratches).
Although laminate is made to replicate the look of real hardwood there are some distinct differences. The main being the laminate image repeats across a set amount of planks. This means you will see the same image repeating throughout the floor, as opposed to hardwood having every board be unique.
Laminate flooring comes in many different designs. The image layer can mimic the look of hardwood, tile, or stone. The most popular laminate flooring design is hardwood because it can offer the look of high-end hardwood at a fraction of the price.
Laminate flooring is typically available in 8-millimetre to 12-millimetre thicknesses. Laminate often requires an additional pad to be installed, which can add between one and three millimetres of thickness to the overall height of the floor.
