Is 7mm laminate flooring too thin?

"Too thin" is a bit of a myth—it really depends on where you are putting it. While a 12mm board is better for a high-traffic hallway, 7mm laminate flooring is perfectly suited for "low-impact" rooms like bedrooms, dressing rooms, or study areas. As long as your subfloor is level and you use a quality underlay, a 7mm floor is plenty durable for everyday domestic life.

How to cut 7mm laminate flooring

Because these boards are thinner, they are among the easiest to cut, making them a brilliant choice for DIY beginners.

  • The Tools: You can use a fine-toothed hand saw, a jigsaw, or a dedicated laminate cutter.
  • The Technique: When using a power saw, always cut with the decorative side down to prevent chipping. If you are using a hand saw, keep the decorative side up.
  • The Expert Tip: 7mm boards can sometimes be "snapped" using a laminate cutter, which is much faster and creates zero dust—perfect if you are working in a finished room.

Getting the best finish

The secret to making laminate flooring 7mm feel like a premium install is the underlay. Because the boards are lighter, a good underlay provides the substance and sound-dampening qualities that make the floor feel more solid underfoot. Even with a thinner board, don’t forget your 10mm expansion gap around the edges to allow for natural movement. For more advice on the perfect finish, see our installation guide.
