Living Room Laminate Flooring

Comfortable, but durable

Our living room laminate has a cosy underfoot feel, but it still manages to be impressively durable. Its layered structure and wear layer make it resistant to scratches and surface level damage, while its HDF core can withstand years of heavy foot traffic, so you can rely on high-quality flooring no matter how frantic life gets.

A cost-effective alternative

Other wooden flooring options can be expensive, while laminate flooring offers a realistic wood effect for a much lower cost. If you’re looking to redecorate your home on a budget, but still looking for a convincing wood finish, consider choosing a wood grain design from our range for your living room.

Laminate flooring for your whole home

It’s not just living rooms that can benefit from a laminate floor. Give your corridors a makeover with our hallway laminate flooring, or redecorate your other rooms with options from our dining room laminate flooring and kitchen laminate flooring ranges.

Living Room Laminate Flooring FAQs

Why choose laminate flooring for the living room?

Laminate flooring uses a high-density fibreboard core for superior durability, topped with a realistic image layer to emulate the look of various other materials. It also features a wear layer designed to protect it from scratches, marks, and stains. It can withstand years of use, making it great value for money.

Do I need to prepare my living room before installation?

Before you lay your living room laminate, you’ll need to remove any flooring you already have installed in your living room. Ensure your subfloor is well-prepared for laying your laminate (it should be even, level, and clean) and cover it with a layer of laminate underlay before you begin installing your floor.

How durable is laminate flooring for the living room?

If cared for properly, your laminate flooring can last between 15 and 25 years without needing to be replaced.

What is the best thickness of laminate flooring for a living room?

Thicker laminate flooring typically costs more, so finding the right balance between an affordable option and a durable one is key when picking a floor for your living room. Ideally, your laminate flooring should be between 8mm and 10mm, as this will be strong enough to resist plenty of use without breaking your budget.
