What Is
Laminate Flooring Made Of?

Laminate flooring is constructed from multiple layers, each contributing to its durability, optimal performance, and aesthetic appeal. While some laminate flooring products may have additional layers or variations in these layers, they are typically made up of the following:

01.

Overlay

The topmost layer is a clear overlay, protecting the flooring from the rigours of wear and tear. This protective layer acts as a shield against scratches, stains, and other impact, helping to maintain the flooring’s pristine look.

02.

Decorative Layer

The second layer is responsible for laminate flooring’s aesthetic appeal. The decorative layer features high-resolution images of wood, mimicking its natural details and textures, giving it a realistic appearance.

03.

Coreboard

The coreboard serves as the foundation of laminate flooring. It provides durability, stability, and moisture resistance, ensuring the flooring remains sturdy and long-lasting.

04.

Backing Layer

Acting as a moisture barrier, the backing layer safeguards against warping and buckling by preventing moisture from penetrating the core. This layer is essential for ensuring the long-term performance and durability of the flooring.

What Are the Advantages of Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring remains a popular choice due to a perfect blend of aesthetics, durability, and practicality.

01

Affordability

Among the most compelling advantages of laminate flooring is that it offers the elegance and beauty of wood at a fraction of the price. Compared to hardwood, laminate flooring is more affordable, allowing you to achieve a rustic and natural aesthetic on a budget.

03

Easy Maintenance

Maintaining your laminate flooring’s pristine condition is easy. It only requires regular sweeping or vacuuming. It is also generally stain-resistant. However, spills should be cleaned up promptly to prevent permanent damage.

02

Durability

Made from multiple protective layers, laminate flooring can withstand heavy foot traffic, scratches, stains, and moisture, making it perfect for use at home or in commercial spaces. It is also UV-resistant, allowing it to resist fading caused by sunlight, preserving its colour and appearance over time.

04

Wide Variety of Styles

Laminate flooring comes in an extensive range of colours, patterns, and textures to suit any taste. Whether you want to achieve a rustic, bohemian, or modern aesthetic, laminate flooring can give the charm and allure of natural wood.

Quick Installation

Laminate planks often feature a click-lock system, making them easy to install without the use of any adhesive materials. This is perfect for DIY enthusiasts or those on a budget who would prefer to renovate their spaces themselves.

  • How long does luxury vinyl flooring last?
    Depending on the quality of the product and the level of foot traffic it endures, luxury vinyl flooring can last between 10 and 20 years. Proper maintenance and care can extend its lifespan, making it a durable and cost-effective flooring option. High-quality LVF with a thicker wear layer will generally last longer than lower-grade options.
  • Can you install new luxury vinyl flooring over a minor damaged area?
    Minor subfloor damage should be repaired before installing luxury vinyl flooring to ensure a smooth, even surface. While LVF is forgiving of minor imperfections, significant damage can affect the longevity and appearance of the installation. Addressing any issues will create an optimal base for your new flooring.
  • What is the difference between luxury vinyl and standard vinyl flooring?
    Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) typically has a thicker wear layer and more detailed, realistic designs than standard vinyl flooring. LVF often comes in planks or tiles that mimic natural materials like wood or stone, offering enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal. Standard vinyl usually comes in sheets and is less expensive, but it may not provide the same level of realism and resilience.
  • Can luxury vinyl flooring withstand heavy sunlight exposure?
    Luxury vinyl flooring is generally resistant to UV rays, but prolonged exposure to heavy sunlight can cause some fading over time. To mitigate this, consider using window coverings or UV-protective films on windows. Selecting high-quality LVF with added UV protection can also help maintain its appearance.
  • Is it possible to install luxury vinyl flooring on top of existing flooring?
    Luxury vinyl flooring can often be installed over existing floors, provided the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. This can save time and effort compared to removing the old flooring. However, it's essential to follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper adhesion and performance.
  • What is the expected lifespan of laminate flooring?
    Laminate flooring can last for around 15–25 years on average. Proper care and maintenance are key to maintaining its pristine condition for longer.
  • Is it possible to use laminate flooring on walls?
    Yes, it is possible to install laminate flooring on walls, provided that the wall is smooth and vertical. It cannot be applied on slanted walls or ceilings.
  • Can you use laminate flooring for outdoor spaces?
    While laminate flooring can withstand heavy foot traffic, it is not suitable for use outdoors. Laminate flooring is not waterproof and is at risk for damage when exposed to harsh weather and wet conditions.
  • Can you install laminate flooring over an existing flooring?
    If your existing floor is smooth, level, and structurally sound, laminate flooring can often be installed directly over it. However, it is best to remove your old flooring to reduce the risk of future problems.
