Here at Hereward Carpets in Peterborough, we offer a wide selection of flooring options for your home. Laminate flooring is one of the flooring types we offer, but what is laminate flooring? This is what we look at in this blog post.
Quickstep laminate flooring is a flooring with four layers. It has been designed to look like a real wood floor, stone floor, or tiled floor, dependent on what you want.
- Transparent wear level. This offers a protective coating that will resist scratches, stains, as well as moisture. It has a registered embossed finish, giving you a surface touch like the real product.
- Design layer. The design layer is the part where there is a high-resolution image that replicates the look of wood, stone, or tile, and is finished with melamine resin.
- Core layer. This is made of high-density fibre board, also known as HDF. This helps make laminate flooring extremely durable and moisture-resistant.
- Backing layer. This is what provides stability and protects against moisture.

One of the biggest reasons that laminate flooring in Peterborough is so popular is that it is affordable and cost-effective. This is especially the case when you compare it with real stone or real wood flooring. You get the look you want, at a much lower cost.
The fact that laminate flooring is highly durable and scratch-resistant is another reason it is so popular, especially in busy homes.
