Laminate flooring is based on a thin composite layer built up from several layers of impregnated paper to form the surface layer.

The top layer is transparent and is specially treated to achieve high wear resistance (1). Underneath is a decorative layer that gives the flooring its wood-grain pattern (2). A moisture resistant interlocked high-density fiberboard (HDF) core that maintains the structure of each plank (3). A tongue and groove layer (4), and a bottom layer has a stiff paper-based material or a laminate (5). The differences between manufacturers and their various products is down to the number of layers, but typically the thickness of this type of flooring is between 7 - 8mm thick.

The introduction of the glue-free joints, so called click joints, in the mid 1990's has captured a substantial portion of the total laminate flooring market.

The above types of laminate flooring are usually laid on timbermate underlay, which consists of a foil backing and a foam centre.

We supply and fit a wide range of door profiles and skirtings etc. to complete the finishing touches.
