Laminate flooring is a great option for homes of all shapes and sizes. It looks great and achieves a realistic wood floor finish, yet it’s also hardy and easy to maintain. This makes laminate a versatile option that can serve everyone well.

At Beckenham Carpets, we sell and fit quality laminate flooring. With our extensive experience, we will ensure your flooring is fitted correctly and will last you well into the future. If you need underlay fitting beforehand, we can also take care of this for you, making sure your new floor will be as soundproof as possible and completing the whole process for you.

What is laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring is made up of multiple synthetic layers that are designed to replicate real wood. It is capable of being very realistic – most people can’t tell wood and laminate apart on appearance alone.  This is created through the use of a photographic applique layer and a clear protective layer that is positioned over the top of it. The flooring comes as a series of tongue and groove planks, so it will provide a smooth and uniform appearance when fitted.

Laminate has come a long way and is a strong contender for the majority of customers wanting wooden flooring. It is fused together using a lamination process that makes it strong and hardwearing, meaning it is highly resistant to scratches and marks. Unlike solid wood flooring, laminate is virtually maintenance free and is suitable for use in high footfall areas.

Our laminate brands

We use flooring from Quickstep, a leading name in laminate. Quickstep laminate flooring is:

  • Wear resistant.

    It uses an overlay that protects against stains and impact.

  • Premium in appearance

    The design layer makes it look like real wood.

  • Moisture resistant.

    Thanks for the HDF core board, the flooring is stable and durable.

  • Balanced.

    The balancing layer ensures the board won’t bend when installed professionally.

The underlay we use as standard is from Cloud 9, market leaders in underlay for laminate floors. This will successfully cater for all scenarios and budgets.

If you want something specific, we can source products from other brands. Please just let us know.

  • We will confirm your order.

    From now on, the price is confirmed so you know exactly how much the project will cost.

  • Fitting will be booked in for a time convenient for you.

    The majority of the time, this is around 7-10 days after we measure up. If required, we can also move furniture.
