Laminate designs are modelled on timber species and are available in a wide range of designs - from the coolness of oak to the warmth of mahogany.

Quality Range When it comes to laminate flooring, how can you be sure of the difference between good and poor quality?

The answer is quite simple. Laminate flooring is basically a ‘photograph’ of real timber that is engineered onto a backing board and covered with a melamine coating.

You’ll find the better quality laminates use a superior photograph which gives a truer image of the real timber with more colours, light and shade in it. They have higher quality backing board which ensures the board retains its shape and fits together with other boards to give a superior finish to your floor. They will last longer, resist warping, be easier to install and maintain.

And the better quality laminates have a superior melamine finish which will help the board to resist being scratched or damaged, make it easier to clean, and help it retain a timeless appearance.

In the end, a good quality laminate floor will give you long term value as your floor will look sensational for years and years to come.
