How thick are patterned laminate floors?

The thickness of patterned laminate floors typically ranges between 7mm and 12mm. They provide a good balance of comfort and durability. It helps to improve sound insulation, gives a sturdy feel underfoot, and contributes to the longevity of the flooring. The thickness of the floor can also affect its resistance to impact, as well as its ability to smooth out subfloor imperfections. 

Is laminate pattern flooring easy to install?

Laminate pattern flooring is generally easy to install. Most come with a click-lock system, which allows the planks to fit together seamlessly. This method makes the installation process quick and straightforward -great news for those looking to install the floor themselves. 

Even with no prior floor fitting experience, you’ll be able to fit patterned laminate with ease. However, for the best results, it's important to start with a clean, level subfloor, and to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Where can I install patterned laminate flooring?

Patterned laminate flooring is highly versatile and can be installed in almost any room of the house, from the living room and bedrooms to kitchens and hallways. Its striking visual appeal effortlessly boosts the aesthetics of any space. However, for areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms or utility rooms, it's important to choose waterproof laminate flooring. The Berry Alloc Ocean collection is fully waterproof, making it an excellent choice for moisture-prone environments.

Will laminate flooring patterns fade over time?

Modern laminate flooring is designed to resist fading. It contains a photographic layer that is protected by a wear layer. This layer acts as a barrier against UV light, wear and tear, and other damaging factors, helping to maintain the vibrancy of the patterns over time. However, the degree of fade resistance can vary based on the quality of the laminate floor. Higher quality laminate flooring with a stronger wear layer will have better fade resistance.

How do I care for patterned laminate floor tiles? 

Caring for patterned laminate floor tiles is easy. Sweeping or vacuuming frequently can help remove dust and dirt, while a slightly damp mop can be used for a more extensive clean. It's important to avoid using harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the wear layer and affect the vibrancy of the patterns. Also, since most laminate flooring is not completely waterproof, cleaning up spills quickly is advisable to prevent water damage. We highly recommend using a specialist product like the Berry Alloc Laminate Cleaner.

How long will pattern laminate flooring last?

Properly caring and maintaining high-quality patterned laminate flooring can last 15 to 25 years. Following the guidelines provided by the manufacturer will help to ensure your new floor lasts its entire lifespan. If installing the floor in high-traffic areas, make sure you choose a patterned laminate floor that is designed to withstand high levels of foot traffic.
