Laminate flooring

Laminate gives you the look of real wood with a hard-wearing surface that copes with family life. See Quick-Step and other ranges in our Gordon Street showroom, and we’ll fit it with the right underlay and trims.

Why people choose laminate

  • Realistic wood looks

    From pale Scandinavian oak to rich, rustic planks, with textures that follow the grain.

  • A tough surface

    Resists the scuffs and scratches of everyday life better than many real wood floors.

  • Good value

    Often a little cheaper than LVT for a similar look, especially across larger rooms.

  • Ready straight away

    A floating floor with nothing to glue, so you can use the room as soon as we’ve finished.

Laminate for kitchens and halls

Some laminate ranges are made to resist water, so they can go in kitchens and hallways as well as living rooms. Ask in the showroom which ranges suit the room you have in mind.

We fit laminate over a suitable underlay, finish the edges with matching trims, and fit door bars wherever it meets carpet.

Laminate or LVT?

  • Laminate

    A rigid wood-fibre board with a printed, protected surface. Feels firm underfoot and is good value.

  • LVT

    Vinyl planks and tiles that are softer, quieter and more water-resistant, and can be laid in herringbone. More about LVT.

Questions people ask us

Can laminate go in a kitchen?

Yes, if you choose a water-resistant range. Ask in the showroom and we’ll show you which ones suit kitchens and hallways.

When can I walk on new laminate?

Straight away. Laminate floats on its underlay, so there’s no adhesive to set.

Is laminate noisy?

It can sound hollower than LVT or carpet. A good acoustic underlay makes a real difference, especially upstairs.
