Questions About Laminate Flooring
We regularly advise our customers on some specific aspects of laminate flooring usage:
While laminate flooring can bring a stylish, cost-effective look to your staircase, careful consideration is crucial. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons:
Why homeowners consider laminate on the stairs:
- Seamlessly matching existing laminate floors.
- Enjoy a wide array of designs and colours.
- Budget-friendly flooring solution.
- Designed for durability, laminate withstands the high traffic typical of stairways.
- Cleaning the smooth surface is quick and easy.
What are the risks?
- Slip Risk: Laminate can become slippery, especially when wet or polished, posing a significant safety hazard on stairs.
- Sound Amplification: Laminate can generate more noise than carpet, producing a hollow sound with footsteps.
- Installation Demands: Stair installation is intricate, requiring precise measurements and cuts.
- Specialised stair nosings and profiles are necessary for a safe, professional finish.
- Essential safety measures include proper installation with grip-enhancing stair nosings and the addition of anti-slip runners or strips. These can reduce the intended appearance of the floor when complete.
Laminate’s popularity stems from a winning combination of style and practicality. Here’s what makes it a top choice:
- Budget-friendly beauty – Advanced printing delivers realistic wood, stone, or tile aesthetics. Get the look of premium hardwood or stone without the premium price tag.
- Built to last – Durable enough to handle busy households, resisting scratches, dents, and fading.
- Effortless upkeep – Simple cleaning with sweeping, vacuuming, and occasional mopping.
- Design versatility – A wide range of styles, colours, and textures to match any décor.
- Sunlight resilience – Fade-resistant properties keep floors looking vibrant.
- Stain-resistant shield – The wear layer protects against common household stains.
A laminate floor typically consists of four different layers:
- The top layer makes your floor resistant to stains, wear, impact, scratches, burns and household chemicals. It consists of several melamine layers pressed onto the HDF core board in a press under high pressure and temperature. The surface layer is finished with a wood or tile texture/structure called ‘registered-embossed’.
- The second layer is the design layer, which defines your floor’s look. The design layer is a high-resolution photo of natural wood or tiles reproduced with highly sophisticated printing techniques and finished with melamine resin. The perfect design and surface structure make the wood or tile imitation look significantly real and natural.
- The third layer is a high-density core board consisting of refined wood fibres and high-quality melamine resin. It is a re-composed wood-fibre board which essentially uses all parts of the tree. The board’s homogenous composition means it is exceptionally durable and stable
- The 4th ‘backing layer’ provides a moisture-resistant barrier, creating a perfectly flat board that will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained.
