What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is very popular in Newcastle-upon-Tyne homes.
It offers a great mix of style and practicality for North East living.
The Structure of Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is made of multiple layers. It is designed to handle the challenges of busy family homes. It has four main layers:
1. Backing Layer: This bottom layer gives stability. It also blocks moisture, which helps in Newcastle's damp climate. It protects your floors from the ground up.
2. Core Board: This inner layer is usually made from high-density fibreboard (HDF). It makes the flooring strong and stable. This core helps your floor keep its shape even when Newcastle's temperatures change with the seasons.
3. Design Layer: This is a photo layer that looks like natural materials. Many local homeowners choose oak or pine effects. These styles look good in modern Quayside apartments and traditional Jesmond terraces.
4. Wear Layer: This clear top layer protects against everyday damage. It resists scratches, stains, and fading from sunlight. This is perfect for sunny homes and busy family spaces.
Installation System
Most laminate flooring has a click-lock system. This is sometimes called a floating floor system. The planks fit together like a puzzle without needing glue. This makes installation faster and easier in local homes, where old properties often have uneven floors.
Appearances and Finishes
Laminate flooring comes in many styles that suit all types of Newcastle houses. You can find everything from traditional Northumbrian oak to modern grey finishes popular in new Ouseburn developments. Laminate works well in any Newcastle home.
The technology has gotten much better over time. Today's laminates have textures that look very much like natural materials. You can get hand-scraped looks for Gosforth's Victorian homes or smooth finishes for city centre apartments.
Whether you're fixing up an old house in Heaton or decorating a new-build in Kingston Park, laminate flooring is a practical choice. It adapts well to our different architectural styles and living needs.
Affordable
Laminate has the premium look of wood, stone or tile at a much lower cost.
Cheaper installation costs make it easy to
fit multiple rooms.
Durable
Laminate resists scratches, fading, and wear.
Floors last 15–25 years, even in busy homes with kids or pets.
Stylish
Choose from a wide range of realistic wood, stone, and tile looks.
Ideal for matching décor or updating your style.
Easy To Clean
Laminate floor only needs sweeping and occasional mopping.
Its sealed surface keeps out dust, spills, and allergens.
Perfect For
Laminate flooring is the ideal solution for Newcastle homeowners who want a beautiful, tough floor without spending too much.
Our premium laminate looks just like real wood and stone. It also stands up well to the daily use in busy Tyneside homes.
You might own a Victorian terrace in Jesmond, a new-build in Gosforth, or a family home in Heaton. Our laminate flooring brings style and practicality to any property.
