Frequently Asked Questions
Is waterproof laminate flooring really waterproof?
Yes, modern waterproof laminate flooring, particularly ranges with innovative features like Quick-Step's HydroSeal technology, are designed with a water-repellent coating that prevents water from penetrating the surface and seeping into the core. This makes them suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water spills are common. However, it's still best to avoid leaving standing water on the floor for prolonged periods.
Is waterproof laminate a good option for kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, it is a great option for these rooms. Unlike traditional laminate, which is not recommended for wet areas, waterproof laminate is specifically engineered to resist moisture. It allows you to have the look of a beautiful wood or tile floor in these spaces with the added benefit of being easy to clean and maintain.
Is it easy to install waterproof laminate flooring?
Waterproof laminate floors typically feature a click-and-lock installation system, which makes them easy to fit as a floating floor without the need for adhesives. While a DIY installation is possible, ensuring a perfectly level subfloor is crucial for a successful and long-lasting result. For high moisture areas, a professional installer is recommended.
