What is laminate flooring?

Think of laminate as the best of both worlds. It gives you the authentic look and texture of real wood or stone, but it’s built for the reality of a busy home. Underneath that realistic surface is a dense, durable core that keeps the floor stable, topped with a protective layer that’s tough enough to handle everything from dragging furniture to heavy foot traffic.

How to lay, fit, and install laminate flooring

One of the biggest benefits of laminate is that it is designed for a straightforward DIY fit. Most of our ranges feature a "click-to-fit" system, meaning the planks lock together without the need for glue or nails.

How much does it cost to lay laminate flooring?

One of the reasons laminate is so popular is the cost saving on installation. While a professional fitter might charge around £60 per square metre, the DIY-friendly nature of laminate means you can save that budget for the flooring itself. If you’re looking for longevity, investing in a thicker 12mm board can often be more cost-effective in the long run.

Can you make laminate flooring waterproof?

It is a common question, but the honest answer is that you cannot truly turn a standard laminate board into a waterproof one after it’s been manufactured. While you can use joint sealants during installation to help with splashes, the "waterproofing" is actually built into the core of the plank itself. If you are fitting a floor in a bathroom, it is always best to buy a dedicated waterproof range from the start rather than trying to "hack" a standard floor.

How can I clean laminate flooring?

Laminate is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. To keep your new laminate floors looking sharp for years, follow our laminate floor maintenance guide for the best tools and techniques.

Can you paint laminate flooring?

If your current floor is looking a bit tired but is still structurally sound, you might be tempted to reach for a tin of paint. The short answer? Yes, you can. But to get a finish that actually lasts, there’s a specific process to follow. Check out our guide on how to paint laminate flooring - how to guide before you crack open a tin to ensure you get a professional result.
