Laminate Flooring

Since being introduced in the 1990s, laminate flooring has gained popularity over the years due to its ease of maintenance, durability and cost-effectiveness. It is an excellent substitute for solid wood flooring thanks to its realistic imitation woodgrain and stone effect, and comes without the hassle of extensive cleaning methods and care.

How is laminate flooring made?

Laminate flooring, sometimes referred to as laminate tiles, is made up of layers to ensure its durability and convincing imitation appearance. Normally made from a fibre board base, it is then stacked with a strong, hard-wearing layer followed by a printed and coated top layer to provide its visual appeal.

What are the practical benefits of laminate flooring?

Part of its versatility is that laminate flooring can be used in all areas of the home, including bedrooms and living rooms. It has a certain level of moisture resistance, also making it ideal for kitchens. Some of our laminate flooring ranges have a water-repellent coating, ensuring that no water can seep through even the grooves in the boards.

Its adaptability means that changing the style of a room does not require a new laminate. Laminate is also effortless to maintain, making it ideal for busy households prioritising family time over household chores!

Will laminate flooring complement my home?

Available in a range of both traditional and contemporary colours, from natural wood-toned brown to white and grey laminate flooring, you can be assured there will be a style to suit your space. Since its surge to popularity, it has since evolved to include styles such as parquet-effect, slate-effect and stone-effect as well as its original wood-effect as tastes have changed.

Does laminate flooring have to be laid a certain way?

Quick and secure fitting is possible thanks to tongue-and-groove installation methods, and any damaged or stained boards are easily replaceable. One of the most popular and stylish fitting styles today is herringbone laminate flooring. Whilst installing is relatively easy, you must ensure you have all the right materials and tools, including laminate floor underlay. You can check out our handy guide on how to lay laminate flooring here.

Each collection or range of laminate flooring is designed to have its own structure, bevel, finish and treatment, resulting in a wide range of choices. At Tile Superstore, we offer an array of laminate flooring options that cater to different preferences, styles and budgets.
