What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is an innovative floorboard consisting of a durable print layer glued to a strong particleboard. This enables it to showcase the beauty of timber flooring (or any other design) whilst providing unmatched durability and affordability. Laminate flooring in Sydney has become a popular flooring solution that offers many advantages over traditional timber floors – they look beautiful, perform better, are easier to install and are more affordable.
Laminate floors consist of a textured and coloured print layer that is sandwiched between a protective topcoat and a composite core made of HDF (a mix of melamine resin and fibreboard). The surface is also UV-protected, meaning it maintains its colour and doesn’t fade or stain over time.
Benefits of Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is far more durable and scratch-resistant than their timber counterparts due to their laminated surface, making it perfect for high-traffic areas of the home or commercial spaces. They are far more scratch-resistant than their timber, oak and bamboo alternatives. Finally, laminate floorboards are also easy to install and require very little maintenance, making them a very cost-effective addition to Sydney homes.

How many years does laminate flooring last?
Laminate flooring generally lasts between 10 to 30 years, depending on the manufacturer, the quality of the flooring and how your floors are maintained. It’s always good to get flooring that has a long warranty (20+ years is a rule of thumb) because it signifies quality and ensures that your laminate flooring investment is safe for years to come.
Does laminate flooring increase the value of my house?
Most high quality and modern laminate floors definitely add value to a home, just as a real hardwood timber floor will. For most people, they are indistinguishable from real timber or tile floors. Be careful with cheap laminate flooring though, as there will be tradeoffs in quality and design.
What is a good thickness for laminate flooring?
If you want laminate flooring that feels solid and is high quality, go for a thickness of 10mm or 12mm. We recommend a “good thickness” of around 12.3mm. Thinner laminate flooring is cheaper, but also feels cheaper and is less durable.
