Why Homeowners Choose This Surface

Modern laminate looks like real wood yet stands up to busy homes. The protective wear layer resists scratches and stains, the décor film provides authentic grain, and the dense core keeps boards stable. Because it’s installed as a floating system with click-lock edges, most standard rooms finish in a day with minimal disruption. For bathrooms or consistently wet zones, consider our waterproof vinyl flooring instead.

Our 5-Step Installation Process

1. Measure & Plan — confirm sizes, board direction, and doorway transitions.
2. Prep & Moisture Control — moisture testing; patch and level where required for a flat base.
3. Underlay & Expansion — fit acoustic/thermal underlay; set correct expansion gaps and profiles.
4. Professional Fitment — precise cutting, neat edges, skirtings/quarter rounds, and trims.
5. Clean Handover — vacuum, wipe-down, care tips and warranty guidance.

What’s Included (and Optional Add-Ons)

Recent Gauteng Project (Case Study)

Four-room refresh, Randburg. The subfloor needed patching around old nail holes and a light skim to smooth a doorway transition. After moisture checks, we installed an acoustic underlay and a wide-plank oak finish with matching skirtings. The job wrapped in a day, including trims and a full cleanup. The client chose laminate for the warm look in dry areas, and vinyl for a small scullery — a great combination for long-term durability.

Brands We Fit

Choose from trusted ranges and colours: Pergo, Floorpan, AGT, and Berry Alloc. For local training standards and best practices, visit the South African Wood & Laminate Flooring Association.

Laminate vs Vinyl Flooring South Africa

Use laminate for stylish dry areas and a warm underfoot feel. On the other hand, vinyl handles moisture better and works well in kitchens or bathrooms. As a result, your choice depends on the room conditions. See our in-depth comparison in the Laminate vs Vinyl Flooring Guide, then browse Vinyl Flooring if you need a waterproof option.

Underfloor Heating and Water Resistance for Laminate Flooring

Many modern laminate ranges work with underfloor heating when you follow the temperature limits set by the brand. In addition, water resistance varies by product. Options like Floorpan Elite XL 12mm and Pergo Odense offer extended spill protection. Therefore, always check the product page or ask us before you buy.

Care and Maintenance for Laminate Floors

Sweep or vacuum on a soft setting. In addition, wipe with a slightly damp microfiber mop to keep surfaces fresh. However, avoid standing water and harsh chemicals as these can damage the wear layer. Fit felt pads on furniture and use doorway mats to catch grit. As a result, your floor will last longer and keep its fresh look.

Can I use it with underfloor heating
Yes when the product allows it and the surface temperature stays within the brand limit. Therefore, always check specifications or speak with our team.

How long does it last
Quality laminate can last many years with the right care. In fact, many ranges carry long residential warranties.

Can I install it myself
Click-lock systems make DIY possible for confident users. However, for a neat finish and to protect warranties, book our professional installation.

How do I clean it
Sweep often and mop lightly. In addition, avoid steam, strong solvents, and pooled water. Fit felt pads to furniture and use mats at doors. As a result, your floor will stay looking new.
