What is laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring is manufactured from a wooden composite base complete with a photographic image of wood grain on its top layer, which gives it the appearance of a real hard wood floor. Because it is not manufactured from real wood or wood veneers, this of course makes it a more cost-effective option than engineered or solid wood.

Laminate flooring is very easy to install – indeed, it’s designed with the DIY enthusiast in mind, which means many homeowners are able to install it themselves. This type of flooring is sold as planks, which you simply slot together over a foam layer laid directly on the floor and then glue down.

It’s so simple to install, an average-sized room can be transformed in a single weekend with minimum skills and effort!

Laminate flooring is easy to care for and is ideal for high-traffic areas of the home. And, thanks to its wonderfully convincing real-wood look, guests won’t be able to tell the difference! With its attractive price-tag and easy installation, it’s perfect for anyone wanting to revamp or renovate the home.
