Does 12mm laminate flooring offer better quality?

In short, yes, it is often considered the gold standard for residential laminate. Because the plank is thicker, it is more stable and less likely to bounce if your subfloor isn't perfectly level. It also offers better sound dampening and allows for deeper, more realistic textures to be pressed into the surface. If you want a floor that looks, feels, and sounds like real wood, 12mm is a smart investment.

How thick is 12mm laminate flooring in inches?

For those used to imperial measurements, 12mm is approximately 0.47 inches—just under half an inch. While it might sound like a small difference compared to an 8mm board, that extra thickness significantly improves the strength of the click-locking system, making the joints much more robust.

Do you need underlay for 12mm laminate flooring?

Yes. Even with a thick 12mm board, a quality underlay is essential. It acts as a moisture barrier, provides extra thermal insulation, and helps to smooth out any minor imperfections in your subfloor. Using underlay ensures your 12mm laminate floor performs exactly as it should for years to come.

How to install 12mm laminate flooring

The beauty of modern 12mm planks is that, despite their thickness, they are still very DIY-friendly. Our range uses a simple "click" system, meaning the boards lock together without glue or nails.

  • Preparation: Ensure your subfloor is clean and dry.
  • Expansion: Leave a 10mm expansion gap around the perimeter is vital to allow for natural movement.
  • Cutting: You will need a good-quality saw blade to get a clean finish on these thicker boards. For a full walkthrough, check out our installation guide.

Is it better to have thicker laminate flooring?

Having a thicker laminate flooring such as 12mm laminate flooring, the impact resistance is much stronger and it is much harder for sound to travel through. 12mm laminate flooring has a very similar aesthetic to real wood flooring, making it a perfect addition to your home.
