LAMINATE: MYTHS & MISCONCEPTIONS.
Think laminate is just cheap-looking, difficult to live with, and all pretty much the same?
Not necessarily. 👀
Modern laminate flooring has come a long way, so let’s clear up a few common misconceptions:
“It looks cheap.”
Modern laminate can offer highly realistic wood designs, detailed textures and a wide range of colours and styles.
“It can’t handle water.”
Not all laminate is designed for wet environments, but some modern ranges are specifically engineered with enhanced water resistance. Always check the individual product specification.
“It all looks the same.”
Far from it. There are different colours, textures, plank formats and even patterns to suit different interiors.
“It’s just a budget option.”
Laminate comes in a range of specifications and price points, with different levels of features and performance.
So when choosing laminate, don't just think about how it looks.
Think about how it’s made, where it will be used and what you need from it.
