Frequently asked questions
Start with a clean, dry and level subfloor, then fit the underlay recommended for your laminate flooring. Lay the planks using their click system, stagger the end joints and leave the expansion gap specified in the installation instructions around walls and fixed objects. Check the fitting guide for your chosen product before fitting, as requirements vary by range.
Sweep or vacuum regularly using a hard-floor setting. For a deeper clean, use a lightly damp microfibre mop and a cleaner suitable for laminate flooring, then dry any remaining moisture. Avoid soaking the floor or using a steam mop unless the fitting guide for your chosen product specifically permits it.
Laminate flooring is a layered floor covering with a printed decorative surface, often designed to look like wood or stone, and a protective wear layer. It gives you a wide choice of styles without using a solid timber plank. Browse our laminate flooring to compare styles and check the fitting and care details for your chosen product.
You can explore and buy laminate flooring at Flooring Superstore, online or in one of our showrooms. Compare wood-effect and other styles by colour, thickness, wear rating and room suitability, then order samples to see your favourites at home. Our product pages show current prices and the details you need to choose the right floor.
Some laminate flooring is sold with waterproof or water-resistant features, but standard laminate should not be assumed to withstand standing water. Check the claims on the Flooring Superstore product page and fitting instructions, especially for a kitchen or bathroom. Even with a waterproof range, spills should be cleaned up promptly.
