Lignum Laminate Flooring
Lignum is one of the three laminate collections we stock at Grosvenor Flooring, alongside Quick-Step and Evergreen. Built around the Lignum Fusion range, it is a 12mm laminate designed to bring the warmth and character of real oak into a room at a fraction of the cost of solid wood. Every Lignum floor is a hard-wearing, easy-care board with a realistic embossed finish, available to buy online with free UK delivery.
The Lignum Fusion range comes in two formats – classic plank and on-trend herringbone – across a choice of oak tones. The palette runs from light, natural oak through soft greige and grey to warm and deep, dark shades, so there is a Lignum floor for almost any scheme. Herringbone is the standout, bringing the most sought-after parquet layout into the laminate price bracket.

What Is Lignum Flooring?
Lignum takes its name from the Latin word for wood. The collection is built to put a convincing wood look underfoot without the price or upkeep of solid timber. At Grosvenor Flooring, Lignum is a laminate: a tough, sealed floor made up of a high-density core, a high-resolution design layer that reproduces the grain of oak and a hard-wearing wear layer on top. The result is a floor that looks and feels like real oak but shrugs off daily family life.
The Lignum Fusion Range
Lignum Fusion is the heart of the collection, a 12mm laminate rated AC4 for heavy domestic use. That combination of a thick, solid board and a hard-wearing surface makes it well suited to busy living rooms, hallways and family spaces. The boards carry an embossed texture that follows the printed grain, along with painted bevelled edges that give each plank definition, so the finished floor reads as timber rather than a flat print. A secure click-lock system makes Fusion straightforward to fit as a floating floor.

Plank or Herringbone?
Lignum Fusion comes in two layouts. The choice is about the look you want.

| Plank | Classic wide boards, clean and versatile | Any room; a simple, contemporary finish |
| Herringbone | The sought-after parquet zig-zag | Feature floors; hallways, living and dining rooms |
Both use the same 12mm AC4 board and the same oak decors, so you can pick the pattern that suits your room without compromising on durability.
Lignum Fusion Colours
Every Lignum Fusion decor is an oak, but the range covers a wide spread of tones. Lighter, natural oaks such as Robust Natural and Desert keep a room bright and airy. Greige and grey shades like Greige Oak suit a modern, neutral scheme. Warmer mid oaks bring traditional character, while deep, dark decors such as Volcanic, Coffee and Robust Fumed add drama and warmth.

Where to Use Lignum Laminate
Lignum Fusion suits the majority of rooms in a home. Its 12mm AC4 board is built for heavy domestic traffic, so it performs well in living rooms, hallways, dining rooms and bedrooms. As a standard laminate, Lignum is water-resistant on the surface but not waterproof, so it is not designed for bathrooms or wet areas. For a kitchen, bathroom or utility room, choose a waterproof laminate from the Quick-Step range instead.
The Laminate Ranges We Stock
Lignum is one of three laminate collections at Grosvenor Flooring. Quick-Step is the range we recommend by default and the name most associated with laminate in the UK; it includes waterproof options for kitchens and bathrooms. Evergreen is our value collection. Lignum sits alongside them as the choice for character and pattern and the go-to for herringbone. Every range is available to buy online.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lignum flooring?
Lignum is a laminate flooring collection, named after the Latin word for wood. At Grosvenor Flooring it is built around the Lignum Fusion range, a 12mm laminate that reproduces the look of real oak with a hard-wearing, easy-care surface. It gives you a convincing wood floor at a fraction of the cost of solid timber, in a choice of plank and herringbone formats.
Is Lignum Fusion a good laminate?
Yes. Lignum Fusion is a 12mm board rated AC4, which is the class suited to heavy domestic use, so it stands up well to busy living rooms, hallways and family homes. The thick board feels solid underfoot. The embossed finish and bevelled edges give it a realistic, wood-like look. It is a strong choice if you want character and a quality feel at a laminate price.
Does Lignum Fusion come in herringbone?
Yes. Lignum Fusion is available in both classic plank and herringbone. Herringbone is one of the most popular choices in the range. It brings the sought-after parquet zig-zag into the laminate price bracket, in the same oak tones as the plank format. Herringbone makes a striking feature floor in a hallway, living room or dining room.
Is Lignum laminate waterproof?
No. Lignum Fusion is a standard laminate, so it is water-resistant on the surface but not waterproof. It is not suitable for bathrooms or wet areas. For a kitchen, bathroom or utility room, choose a waterproof laminate from the Quick-Step range, which has a water-repellent surface designed for those spaces. In dry rooms, Lignum performs beautifully.
How thick is Lignum Fusion laminate?
Lignum Fusion is a 12mm board, which is the thickest, most solid tier of laminate. The extra thickness gives it a reassuring, quiet feel underfoot and helps it sit well over a prepared subfloor. Paired with its AC4 rating, the 12mm board makes Fusion a hard-wearing choice for busy rooms.
