Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring

Laminate floor is a popular and affordable alternative to solid wood flooring. It’s available in a wide range of designs and finishes, making it a flexible choice for any home.

Most laminate flooring is made from four main layers:

• The balancing layer, which helps prevent the floor from bowing.
• The high-density fibre board (HDF), a strong and moisture-resistant core that protects against spills.
• The design layer, which features a high-resolution image of real wood to create a natural look.
• A transparent overlay, which guards the surface from scratches, spills, and everyday wear.

At Howarth, we offer a wide range of oak laminate wood flooring in sizes such as 10mm, 10mm extra wide, and 12mm plank options. You can also choose from a variety of colours, from light tones like white to rich dark browns - and grey laminate flooring, which is especially popular.

Whether you're creating a modern or traditional look, there's a laminate style to match your vision.

While hardwood flooring is known for its strength and long life, laminate flooring has many benefits that make it a smart choice. Hardwood is made from slow-growing trees, making it more expensive.

Laminates, on the other hand, are built from composite materials topped with a printed image of wood, making them more cost-effective and often more resistant to damage.

Laminate is also easier to clean and less likely to be affected by everyday cleaning products, offering added peace of mind.
