Why you’ll love having laminate flooring
When you shop with us, you'll get a great deal on an already budget-friendly flooring type. That's because we buy all our laminate floors directly from the factory, which means you're getting a better deal on quality flooring.
As for the flooring itself, laminate is one of the world's most popular floor types for a reason. Perfect for areas of heavy use and so easy to take care of, decent laminate flooring can add character, warmth, and depth to any room without splashing out on solid wood flooring (which we also stock).
Most of our laminate uses a simple click-locking system, making it a great option for a DIY project – although you'll find many a joiner swears by laminate as well.
It is also ready for all sorts of homes. Most laminate is pet-proof and ready for when paw nails get a bit unruly. It is hygienic and great for homes where people suffer from allergies (especially compared to carpet), and it is also a safe flooring option for the environment.
On top of all that, shopping for laminate from our range offers some amazing style - take a look at our herringbone laminate & unique tile-effect laminate flooring.
A low-maintenance option for any home
From the click install to water resistance, which makes cleaning a simple case of regular hoovering and the occasional mop down, our wood laminate flooring looks the part, doesn't warp and doesn't add to your cleaning to-do list.
We recommend higher-grade/wear laminates for high-traffic areas. You'll notice most of our laminate options have 4-star and 5-star wear ratings & are a breeze to clean - no need for any expensive floor cleaners.
Laminate flooring for every room
Our range can soon see your home kitted out from top to bottom, catering to anyone looking to lay laminate down over concrete or timber.
With laminate being harder to scratch than other wood floor types, it is great for spaces like:
It can slot nicely into any room and complement numerous décor options with various shades and finishes. Some of our most popular colours are black, brown & grey.
Buying laminate flooring
Installing new flooring is a big project, so it's crucial to get all the details right.
- What the subfloor is made from: Concrete, timber or screed, each behaves differently, directly affecting which laminate products are suitable.
- How much underlay is needed: Measure your room's square footage carefully, then add ten percent for wastage and overlaps.
- The plank dimensions of your chosen laminate: Longer, wider planks require more acclimatisation time and careful planning of the room layout and cuts.
- Whether it is going onto underfloor heating, only use laminate rated for UFH, keeping the flow temperature below the manufacturer's maximum recommended threshold.

Floor thickness matters when buying laminate
Don't overlook plank thickness when picking laminate flooring. Most of our range will feature laminate that is 6mm-12mm thick. The increase in size will affect the price and the density of your flooring. You would tend to lean towards higher numbers if the area is busier & if the flooring has imperfections underneath.
For example, it is more common to find 10mm+ flooring in your downstairs (over concrete) and 6mm-8mm upstairs. You'll also want to think about how hard-working/wearing your flooring is. If you're laying down laminate in a high-traffic area, you should look at AC4 and AC5 laminate.
How much should laminate flooring cost?
Laminate flooring can cost under £10 per m2 or as much as £30 per m2. For example, if you were shopping for a budget option like EGGER North Cape oak (£8.99 per m2), it could cost £99 to buy enough to cover 10m2. A more premium option like BerryAlloc Hydro+ or EGGER Aqua+, which goes around £20.00 per m2, would cost £250 to cover 10m2.
A lot of factors determine the cost, including wearability grade and water resistance. Remember, we have a price calculator on every page to help you work within your budget.
Laminate flooring for commercial spaces
We also have a lot of business customers who would need commercial laminate flooring for their cafes, salons, shops and more. We recommend looking at commercial laminate if you work somewhere that sees plenty of footfall or stock & shelves being moved around. And have your finished project looking its best with our selection of laminate flooring accessories, with laminate floor edging & underlay to door bars & floor protectors.
