Is 6mm laminate flooring too thin?

It isn't "too thin" as long as you use it in the right place. While we wouldn't recommend 6mm for a high-traffic hallway or a busy family kitchen (where a 10mm or 12mm board would be a better partner), it is perfectly suited for low-traffic rooms. In a bedroom or study, 6mm is a resilient anchor that provides a clean, attractive surface for a fraction of the cost of thicker ranges. It is all about choosing the right grade for the right room.

How thick should the underlay be for 6mm laminate flooring?

Because 6mm boards are thinner, they have less internal density than premium boards. We generally recommend a 3mm to 5mm underlay to support your thinner lamiante floor and provide protection from moisture.

  • Why it matters: A slightly thicker underlay provides the necessary cushion to absorb sound and prevent that "hollow" noise when you walk.
  • Stability: It also helps smooth out minor subfloor imperfections, which is vital for thinner boards to prevent click joints from experiencing unnecessary stress. Using a quality underlay is the way to make a 6mm floor feel more expensive and solid underfoot.
