Smart, Stylish & Cost Effective
Laminate flooring has come a long way from its early days—today’s options offer high-definition wood textures, matt finishes and bevelled edges for a more realistic timber look.
It’s a floating floor, meaning it clicks into place without glue or nails, making installation fast, clean and affordable. The tough top layer protects against scratches, scuffs and fading, so it’s perfect for homes with kids, pets or heavy foot traffic.
Water-resistant varieties give extra peace of mind in splash zones like kitchens and entryways, while low-maintenance finishes keep cleaning simple. With so many colours, grain styles and board sizes available, it’s easy to create the look you want at a fraction of the cost.

Durability with 8 & 12mm Laminate
Laminate flooring isn’t one-size-fits-all—thickness matters. Our 8mm laminate flooring is great for everyday living areas where traffic is light to moderate, offering a smooth, stable surface that’s easy to maintain.
Step up to 12mm laminate if you’re after extra durability, sound insulation and that solid timber feel underfoot.
Thicker boards are also better at handling slight subfloor imperfections and provide a quieter step—ideal for upper levels, home offices or family homes.

Water Resistant Laminate Options
Laminate flooring is already known for its tough surface—but water-resistant laminate takes it further. Built with a sealed core and moisture-repelling finish, these boards are perfect for high-risk areas like kitchens, laundry rooms and hallways where spills or dampness are more common.

They give you all the look of wood, without the worry of swelling or warping from water exposure. Installation is just as straightforward as standard laminate and the clean-up is simple—just a sweep and a damp mop.
If you’re after a balance of function and style that works for busy family homes or rental properties, water-resistant laminate delivers lasting value. Chat with us about waterproof flooring options for your home.



Frequently Asked Questions
Is laminate flooring scratch-resistant?
Yes, laminate flooring is generally scratch-resistant thanks to its tough wear layer. This makes it a good option for homes with pets, kids or heavy foot traffic. However, while it resists everyday wear and tear, it's not completely immune to damage. Sharp objects, dragged furniture or high heels can still cause scratches if care isn’t taken. Using felt pads under furniture legs and mats at entrances can help minimise damage. For high-traffic areas, a higher AC (Abrasion Criteria) rating is recommended to ensure better scratch protection over time.
Does water-resistant laminate protect against spills?
Yes, water-resistant laminate is specifically designed to handle everyday spills and moisture more effectively than standard laminate. It features a tightly sealed surface layer and water-repellent core that help prevent liquid from seeping in, giving you more time to wipe up messes without damage. However, it's not fully waterproof—prolonged exposure to standing water can still cause swelling or warping. It’s ideal for kitchens, dining areas or entryways where accidental spills are common, but bathrooms or laundry rooms may still call for a fully waterproof alternative like vinyl or tile.
Can laminate be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, many laminate flooring products are compatible with underfloor heating systems, as long as specific installation guidelines are followed. The key is choosing a laminate product that’s rated for thermal conductivity and won’t warp or expand when exposed to consistent low-level heat. The heating system should be embedded beneath the subfloor (not directly in contact) and be designed to maintain a steady temperature below 27°C. Always check the flooring manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure compatibility and warranty compliance. When installed correctly, laminate with underfloor heating offers comfort without compromising durability or performance.
