It also comes in a variety of colours and styles, so you can find the perfect option to match your decor. Laminate flooring is a great way to add value to your home without breaking the bank.
Our waterproof laminate flooring options offer the look and feel of real wood for a fraction of the usual price.
Resisting everything, even water!
Floors that don’t just look exceptionally stylish and natural, but can also take a knock or two, and above all, are 100% resistant to water.
What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is an attractive, laminated material consisting of several layers that are bound together in a laminated structure. The top layer is called the wear layer, and it protects against scratches, stains, and more.
The bottom layer is called the backing material, which supports both stability and comfort underfoot. It's also non-porous, so water won’t soak through into your subfloor below!
Laminate waterproof flooring is a layered floor built around a watertight, glued High Density Fibre (HDF) board. All Quick-Step laminate floors consist of four different layers:
- FA transparent, wear-resistant overlay providing protection against stains, impact, scratches, burns and household chemicals.
- A design layer: a high-resolution photo of real wood that is reproduced with sophisticated printing techniques and finished with melamine resin.
- An extremely durable and stable moisture-resistant, glued HDF core board.
- A balancing layer, which guarantees a perfectly balanced board that will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained.

How to Install Laminate Flooring
Installing laminate flooring is a great way to add value to your home and improve the look of your space. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Remove any old flooring. This may include removing existing flooring such as carpet, tile, or linoleum. If there is existing laminate flooring, you will need to remove it as well.
- Measure the area where you will be installing the laminate flooring. Be sure to measure both the length and width of the space, as well as any doorways or corners.
- Prepare the laminate flooring that you purchased. Make sure it matches your floor measurements.
- Cut the laminate flooring to fit your needs, then, using a rubber mallet, hammer the sides while putting them in place to make sure they fit perfectly.
- Install quarter-round molding along baseboards and walls to hide gaps between laminate planks or boards. If you have questions about laminate flooring installation, contact us today! We'd love to help with all your laminate floor needs.
Best Way to Care for Laminate Flooring
Cleaning
Wipe up spills as soon as they happen. If a spill occurs on the floor, carefully use a dry, absorbent cloth to wipe up any liquid and then allow it to dry. Do not use water or any other cleaning products. You may also want to try an area rug under your furniture, which can help with spills.
Maintaining
Laminate floors should be dusted regularly and vacuumed at least once a week to keep them looking their best. You can also use a damp mop to dust the floor, but make sure your mop is only damp – too much water can cause warping in your laminate floors.
Lastly, you’ll want to periodically inspect for loose or lifted edges, which could indicate moisture damage, so if you do find any loose edges, replace the boards before they do any more damage! Contact us today if you have any questions about caring for your laminate floors. We're here to help!
Below are the frequently asked questions by different customers:
What are the disadvantages of laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a great low-maintenance option for many house-owners, but there are some downsides. The most common complaint about laminate flooring is the noise. It can be hard to muffle sounds when walking on laminate floors, and it's also easy to hear footsteps coming from other rooms.
Laminate wood flooring is also more susceptible to scratches than real hardwood flooring or tile. If you have dogs or kids in your house, then they're much more likely to scratch up your laminate flooring than they would a higher-quality type of flooring solutions.
Lastly, some people don't like the look of laminate floors because they have a plastic sheen that makes them look cheap.
What floor is better: vinyl or laminate?
There are many types of flooring that could be better for your house, but it's up to you and what you want. Vinyl is another option for flooring in the home. It typically has a lower cost than laminate floor, so you'll save money if you go with vinyl. However, vinyl doesn't stand up as well as laminate to water or spills. If spills happen often in your house, then vinyl may not be the best choice for you.
Some people also prefer laminate because it can imitate other materials like tile or hardwood floors at a much lower price point. If this is important to you, then laminate may be the right choice!
