Laminate Flooring Brisbane

If there was an award for the ‘most improved player’ in the flooring world, laminate flooring would take the prize. Laminate is one of the faster installations on the market, it is tough and durable and has multiple look options, with the timber look being one of the more popular choices in Queensland. It is perfectly suited for commercial buildings on a large scale such as schools and hospitals due to its speedy installation, ease of cleaning, ability to withstand heavy foot traffic, fixed and rolling options, and the fresh look it creates.

Laminate flooring in Brisbane isn’t just perfect for commercial-scale buildings. Homeowners are recognising the value of it too. Designers are recommending it because it is so versatile due to its timber tone and unobtrusive presence on the visual palette, not to mention it simply fits the price tag of homeowners in the current market.

We stock a wide range of Brisbane laminate flooring options from industry-leading suppliers, many of which can be seen in our Cleveland showroom. Our laminate timber flooring range in Brisbane is suitable for both residential and commercial properties and like all of our flooring options, it will come with our trust-backed guarantee.

Brisbane Laminate Flooring: Tips From The Experts

Here at Bennetts Carpets, we take pride in our honest approach to service. So, to help you enjoy the benefits of your laminate timber flooring to the fullest extent, we have compiled a list of cleaning, maintenance and buying tips. As with all flooring products, laminate does require some maintenance.

Compare a laminate flooring sample with your home’s interior

At our showroom, we have a very wide range of flooring options. That means that you have many different types of laminate to choose from. When you are choosing, it is important to remember that light can have a considerable effect on the appearance of your flooring. For example, if the light in our showroom is different from the light in your living room, then the flooring may look different when installed. To get around this, we suggest that you take a sample home with you. This way, you can compare it to your décor and get a feel for how it looks under your lights.

Make sure you keep up the basic cleaning

Dirt and grit are every floors worst nightmare. These small particles are surprisingly abrasive. This means that they can wear away at the surface of your laminate floor. Over time, this can cause the surface to deteriorate. Even laminate – one of the most durable flooring materials – is not immune to this. That is why you need to be diligent with your cleaning and keep an eye out for dirt and dust.

Wash periodically and use floor padding under moveable items of furniture

Every now and then, you may have to wash your laminate floor. When you do, make sure you use a suitable cleaning product. It is also important to ensure that you do not leave excess water. Excess water often finds its way into your floor and can cause damage. In addition, you should also ensure that your moveable items of furniture have padding underneath. When you move heavy furniture around, it can scratch the floor. But with padding, this won’t be an issue. Any scratches that do occur can be fixed easily.

FAQs: Laminate Timber Flooring Brisbane

#1
What is the difference between laminate and real timber flooring?

Real timber flooring is generally just timber, can be sourced from any number of different trees and it is quite heavy-duty. Hardwood timbers in particular are quite dense and they can be a challenge to install sometimes. Furthermore, they require careful maintenance. Because timber is a natural product, it is prone to deterioration at a higher rate than a lot of other flooring products. It also requires a special finish to protect it against water damage and scratching. Water damage can be a serious issue for real timber flooring, as it absorbs water and can consequently buckle.

Laminate, on the other hand, is constructed in layers. The outer layer is an artificial material that is made to be as durable and hardwearing as possible. However, it does not compromise on looks. Laminate flooring is imprinted with a textured timber pattern. This is almost indistinguishable from real timber, which means that it looks great. It also comes in a wide variety of colours and textures. This is designed to emulate a variety of different timber ‘species.’ As a result, there is sure to be a laminate flooring product in our showroom that matches your home’s décor and ambience. The interior of laminate flooring is usually a resin and fibreboard material. This material is quite lightweight, which makes laminate a very easy product to install. This saves even more money when it comes time to install your flooring.

Can I install my laminate flooring myself?

A lot of Brisbane homeowners prefer to do DIY projects, rather than getting professional installation services. In a lot of cases, this is a good way to save money and even develop an enjoyable hobby. However, when it comes to installing laminate flooring, we recommend leaving it to our flooring specialists. Installing flooring of any kind is a very big job. Laminate flooring is easier to install than hardwood timber flooring, but it still requires specialist knowledge and equipment. It is absolutely paramount that the flooring is fitted to perfection; otherwise it risks buckling, warping or even splitting. This can be a real challenge without the right tools and experience.

Here at Bennetts Carpets, our flooring specialists have been working with laminate flooring for many years. As a result, we are familiar with what it takes to install your laminate flooring. Our team is well equipped, with the latest in flooring tools and machinery. We can ensure that your laminate flooring is fitted perfectly, so that you do not risk encountering issues in the future. Flooring is a vital part of your home and it does cop a lot of strain through everyday wear and tear. This is something that our specialists take into account for every job. With a Bennetts Carpets installation, you know that you are getting the best.
#3
Can my laminate flooring be sanded down?

Floor sanding is a popular and effective way to restore scratched or damaged timber flooring. It involves using a heavy-duty sander to remove the damaged outer surface layer and reveal the untarnished timber beneath. However, this does not work for laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is not timber, even though it looks almost identical. The outer laminate layer cannot be sanded back to reveal an untarnished inner layer. Beneath the outer laminate, there is only a central core comprised of resin and fibreboard. Sanding your laminate flooring will probably damage it irreparably. For this reason, it is vital that you do not sand your laminate flooring.

Fortunately, laminate flooring is far more scratch resistant that standard timber flooring. The outer layer is designed to be as tough and durable as possible. This means that your laminate flooring is unlikely to sustain scratches that require repairing. Floor sanding is only necessary to corrected scratched timber. This means that if there are no scratches, repairs are simply not necessary.
