FAQs - Laminate Flooring
Yes, in most cases laminate flooring should be installed over a suitable underlay. Underlay provides a smooth, stable base for the flooring while improving comfort, reducing noise, and helping to protect your floor from moisture.
The main benefits of laminate underlay include:
- Improved comfort underfoot by adding a cushioned layer.
- Reduced noise, helping to minimise sound when walking and reducing room-to-room noise.
- Moisture protection when using an underlay with a built-in damp-proof membrane (DPM), particularly on concrete subfloors.
- Better insulation, helping to retain warmth and improve energy efficiency.
- Support for the flooring, reducing minor subfloor imperfections and helping your laminate perform as intended.
The best underlay depends on your subfloor and the room where the flooring is being installed. Concrete subfloors typically require an underlay with an integrated damp-proof membrane, while timber subfloors generally do not. If you're installing laminate over underfloor heating, choose an underlay specifically designed for use with heated floors to ensure efficient heat transfer.
The AC (Abrasion Class) rating measures how durable the wear layer of laminate flooring is and how well it resists scratches, scuffs, stains, impacts, and everyday wear. It's an industry-standard test that helps you choose the right flooring for your space.
The most common AC ratings are:
- AC1: Suitable for light residential use, such as bedrooms.
- AC2: Designed for general residential areas with moderate foot traffic.
- AC3: Ideal for busy homes and light commercial spaces, including living rooms, hallways, and small offices.
- AC4: Built for heavy residential use and moderate commercial environments, such as retail shops and offices.
- AC5: Engineered for high-traffic commercial settings, including busy stores, schools, and public buildings.
For most homes, AC3 or AC4 laminate flooring provides the best balance of durability, performance, and value. If you're installing flooring in a commercial environment or an exceptionally busy area, an AC5 rating may be the better choice.
Most laminate flooring in our range is compatible with both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems. That said, we always recommend checking the individual product specification before purchasing, and following the manufacturer's guidelines on maximum surface temperature (typically 27°C). It's also important to use a low-tog underlay when laying laminate over underfloor heating, as a high-tog underlay will insulate against the heat rather than allowing it to pass through to the surface effectively.
Surprisingly, installing a laminate floor isn’t as difficult as you might think, and with the right planning and preparation, it can be a smooth and straightforward process.
- Prepare the subfloor – remove any existing flooring and thoroughly clean the subfloor, making sure there isn’t any leftover debris like nails.
- Install the underlay – lay down underlay to improve comfort underfoot, moisture protection, and sound reduction. Read our guide on underlay for a better understanding.
- Plan and measure the layout – carefully measure the dimensions of the room to determine the number of planks you’ll need. Use our measuring guide to help you out.
- Install the laminate planks – click the laminate boards together row by row, staggering joints for a natural finish.
- Add finishing touches – remove spacers and install skirting, laminate flooring, door bars, and beading to finish edges. Trim doors if needed, clean debris gently, avoid wet mopping for 24 hours, and protect your floor with furniture pads and regular care.

More Information on Wood Effect Laminate Flooring
Wood effect laminate flooring is a popular choice for creating the appearance of a real timber floor without the cost and maintenance that can come with natural wood. With realistic colours, grain patterns and plank designs available, laminate can provide a convincing wood-look floor that works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
There are plenty of styles to choose from, so it's worth thinking about the overall look you want to create before deciding on a floor. Lighter oak and natural wood shades can help rooms feel bright and spacious, while darker brown and walnut-inspired tones can add warmth and depth. Grey and washed wood effects are another option if you're looking for a more modern appearance.
The room itself should also be considered when choosing your laminate flooring. Think about how much traffic the floor will receive and choose an appropriate AC rating. AC4 laminate is a good choice for busy areas such as hallways, kitchens, living rooms and family spaces, while AC5 offers an even higher level of durability for particularly high-traffic areas and some commercial environments. Always check the individual product specifications for its recommended use.
Plank size and layout can make a difference to the overall appearance, too. Standard-width planks create a familiar timber-floor look, while wider planks can give a room a more open appearance. Some ranges also feature bevelled or V-groove edges, which add definition between individual planks and help create a more realistic wood-floor effect.
When planning your installation, remember to allow for the required expansion gaps around the edges of the room. Laminate beading can be used to cover these gaps neatly, while door bars provide a practical transition between laminate and other floor coverings. The right underlay is also important, as it can provide additional support and help improve the performance of your laminate floor.
Not sure which wood effect will work best in your home? You can order up to six free samples to compare different colours and styles in your own space. Viewing samples alongside your existing furniture, walls and natural light can make choosing the right shade much easier.
From warm natural oak effects to contemporary grey and darker wood-inspired designs, our Wood Style Laminate Flooring collection offers plenty of choice for different rooms and budgets. Browse the range to find a wood effect laminate floor that gives you the look you're after while offering the practical benefits of laminate flooring.
