Selecting the Perfect Plank Laminate:

To ensure you choose the right laminate for your space, consider these factors:

Laminate on Stairs: Style and Practicality, But with Caution.

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 Laminate Tempts:

• Visual Appeal:
  • Achieve the elegance of hardwood at a lower price, seamlessly matching your existing laminate floors.
  • Enjoy a wide array of designs and colours to complement your home’s aesthetic.
• Budget-Friendly: Laminate offers a more affordable alternative to solid hardwood.
• Resilience: Designed for durability, laminate withstands the high traffic typical of stairways.
• Simple Upkeep: The smooth surface makes cleaning quick and easy.

Critical Factors to Weigh:

• Slip Risk:
  • Laminate can become slippery, especially when wet, posing a significant safety hazard on stairs.
  • Essential safety measures include proper installation with grip-enhancing stair nosings and the addition of anti-slip runners or strips.
• Installation Demands:
  • Stair installation is intricate, requiring precise measurements and cuts.
  • Specialized stair nosings and profiles are necessary for a safe, professional finish.
• Sound Amplification: Laminate can generate more noise than carpet, producing a hollow sound with footsteps.
• Professional Expertise: Given the installation’s complexity, professional installation is strongly advised.

Key Takeaway:

Laminate can be a stylish and durable stair solution, but safety is paramount. Proper installation and the use of anti-slip measures are non-negotiable to prevent falls.

A laminate floor is a layered floor, with most laminate floors consisting of four different layers, as the illustration above shows: 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’. This undoubtedly means that the surface structure is perfectly harmonious with the design.  The second layer is the design layer, which defines your floor’s authentic 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. Furthermore, the board is very homogenous in composition and has very technical characteristics. It’s exceptionally durable, stable and has markedly highly moisture resistance.  A moisture-resistant backing layer guarantees a perfectly flat board that will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained.
