Laminate flooring is a material that brings together the synthetic and the natural, combining the appearance of natural wood with a wood backing, making it a firm and solid flooring surface that can look just like a hardwood - or other surfaces - while not actually being one.

It can come in varying grades, thicknesses and colours, with this combination of the natural and artificial allowing a wide variety of choice to be on offer.

UK Flooring Direct has well over 300 laminate products from some of the top brands to choose from, such as Elka Flooring, Pergo & Quick-Step.

Laminate Flooring Construction Detail

Cheap Laminate Flooring

One great advantage of laminate floors are the cost - because of its very nature, cheap laminate flooring is able to mimic more expensive materials without the unnecessary expense.

However, the price cuts do not mean lower quality. These laminate floors come with warranties of 20 years or more - some are even lifetime warranties.

Those keen to find a bargain may be delighted to know that UK Flooring Direct frequently offers discount laminate flooring on sale so you could find yourself with an even bigger bargain.

Free samples are also available because we understand that it is difficult to fully appreciate the qualities of some types of flooring without being able to see it for yourself. 

V-Groove Laminate Flooring

One type of laminate flooring that we supply is V-groove laminate flooring.

It has an interlocking design that enables the planks to fit together so closely and smoothly that they offer a seamless surface, providing an immaculate, uniform appearance, which is very easy to clean because there are no joins for dust or dirt to get trapped in.

Dark Laminate Flooring

There are well over 100 dark laminate flooring varieties for buyers to choose from, produced by several different suppliers, and these are ideal if you are aiming for a glamorous flooring option.

These products emulate a range of woods, including the very popular oak and walnut as well as a homely cherry effect or beautiful merbau with gold tints.

There are many different species of wood to choose from in our laminate range and many are styles which would be difficult to find in solid wood flooring, such as hickory or panga.

Wood effect colours vary from red, brown and dark amber shades to deep greys and black and slate and tile effect flooring are also available in both plain and patterned shades.

Black laminate flooring is the most distinctive colour and UK Flooring Direct has several of these among its dark shades.

These include Quicksteps Eligna Wenge, Oak Passionata and Varnished Oak shades, as well as others in its selection. Pergo also offers a black laminate floor in its commercial range. 

Light Laminate Flooring

There are nearly 100 light laminate flooring products, with a number of pale varieties such as imitation teak, oak and maple in light brown and yellow shades.

There are also pale greys available, imitating materials such as concrete and clay.

Those who want it as light as it gets can find white laminate flooring from Alloc - in the form of its hearthstone slate - as well as several varieties from Pergo and Quick-Step flooring.

Pergo offers shades such as white pine and white oak, while Quick-step offers a white teak shade. 

Plank Laminate Flooring

There are well over 100 varieties of plank laminate flooring available from several suppliers, offering a vast range of choice.

These products have square-edged planks that mean the edges meet and fit together perfectly, creating a smooth surface.

The Quick-Step has plank laminate flooring options in a selection of colours, including white and black shades.

Commercial Laminate Flooring

Commercial laminate flooring comes with its own particular attributes to meet the needs of businesses which generally have a much higher rate of foot traffic than domestic properties.

Depending on the location you intend to install your floor you may want general commercial flooring or heavy commercial flooring products.

Made by Pergo Flooring, these are put together using a click-lock system and are 11 mm thick with lifetime warranties which is because the commercial grade laminate is the toughest kind available.
