Laminate
Hard-wearing wood-look flooring at an everyday price. Every range below is a labelled sample so you can see how prices, roll widths and packs actually work before Scott's real catalogue replaces it.
Sample fitted estimates: a typical rectangular room, with underlay where needed, grippers and a door bar. Subfloor preparation is extra and checked at the measure. Removal of the old floor is not offered in this preview.

How is laminate different from LVT or engineered wood?
Laminate has a printed wood-look image under a hard, clear wear layer, on a fibreboard core. It is usually the most affordable hard floor option and clicks together in the same way as LVT, but it is not waterproof, so it is not offered for bathrooms in this preview.
Why is laminate sold by the pack?
Like LVT, laminate is boxed in fixed-size packs rather than cut from a roll. The pack-area rule rounds your floor area up to the next whole pack, so the number on screen is what you would actually need to order.
Does laminate need an expansion gap?
Yes, laminate expands and contracts slightly with temperature and needs a small gap at the walls, usually covered by a beading strip called scotia. That is priced separately by the metre of skirting it runs along.
Can laminate go over underfloor heating?
Many ranges can, up to a stated maximum temperature, but this varies by product and is confirmed at the measure.
How do I look after laminate day to day?
A regular vacuum or dry mop is normally enough, with a barely damp mop for spills. Standing water left on laminate for any length of time can swell the boards, so it is not the right choice for a room that floods easily.
