Laminate flooring explained

Laminate floors provide the visual appeal of real timber floors for a fraction of the price. This flooring is manufactured with hardwearing, high-density fibreboard (HDF). Above this layer is a realistic photographic woodgrain layer and an impermeable resin top coat to make it water-resistant and easy to maintain.

Laminate floors are a popular choice with DIY professionals with a can-do attitude. Click-lock tongue and groove floorboards are easy to install over an existing subfloor. However, to guarantee a first-class finish it’s generally best to have new flooring installed by Carpet Court professional installers.

Best laminate flooring to buy

When choosing the best flooring for your home or office, consider your environment, décor, and budget. Laminate flooring is hugely popular in NSW, Qld, Vic, and all other Australian states and territories where family-friendly solutions are prioritised. This flooring looks and feels just like real wood, at a fraction of the price, and is a suitable type of flooring for families with young children and pets.

The Carpet Court laminate flooring collection is available in a wide variety of woodgrain finishes and colours, all with water-resistance properties.

Pet-Friendly laminate flooring options

Wood-look laminate flooring is designed with a tough wear layer. This makes it perfect for areas where pets reside. Laminate flooring will resist damage from spills, messes, paws and claws.

Laminate flooring is also hygienic and will resist unwanted odours. However, no type of flooring is totally indestructible, making basic pet obedience and grooming a smart approach to a happy household.

Rooms perfect for laminate flooring

While some laminate floors are water-resistant and can be laid throughout the home, others aren't entirely suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries. Laminate is perfect for high-traffic areas of the home such as hallways, kitchens and living rooms. It’s also hygienic and hypoallergenic, making it a good floor-covering choice for bedrooms. Add cosy rugs for warmth, elegance and noise insulation.

Carpet Court offers an extensive range of laminate floors in beautiful woodgrain finishes. For contemporary homes, classic homes, heritage homes and office spaces there are fresh and lively natural designs to be found across our great laminate flooring range.

What are the pros and cons of laminate wood flooring?

Laminate wood flooring is the perfect choice for busy family homes and commercial spaces.

The pros of laminate flooring include:

• Scratch and dent resistance
• Affordability
• Fast to lay
• Visually appealing
• Durable wear layer
• Water-resistant

The cons? Perhaps just one. Although laminate flooring is water resistant against the occasional spill or accident, it’s not necessarily totally waterproof.
