Why more Gauteng homes are choosing laminate flooring

Laminate flooring has become a favorite option for busy households, landlords and renovators who want the warm look of wood without the high price or complicated maintenance. It gives you a hard wearing, attractive surface that is quick to install, easy to clean and designed to cope with kids, pets and everyday life.

Modern laminate floors use realistic wood patterns, stronger wear layers and smart click systems, which means the boards lock together tightly and stay stable over time. When installed correctly on a suitable subfloor, laminate flooring delivers a solid feel underfoot with neat transitions between rooms and doorways.

If you want a deeper technical overview of how this type of floor works, you can also read our laminate floor guide which explains plank structure, abrasion ratings and what to look out for before you buy.

Key benefits of laminate flooring in South African homes

Homeowners often choose laminate flooring because it balances cost, durability and appearance very well. It works especially well in lounges, passages, bedrooms and home offices where you want the look of timber without the price and maintenance of solid wood.

Laminate floors offer strong resistance to everyday wear. Many of the ranges we install carry long surface wear warranties and are designed to handle frequent foot traffic. The textured surfaces help hide dust and small marks, while the closed surface makes day to day cleaning as simple as vacuuming and a slightly damp mop.

Another major benefit is installation speed. Because the boards use a click system and float over the subfloor, there is no long drying time. In many cases our teams can remove old carpets, prepare the floor and install laminate flooring in one to two days, depending on the size of the project and the amount of cutting.

For clients comparing several options at once, our article on tiles or laminate flooring gives a detailed comparison of comfort, maintenance and pricing.

Laminate flooring prices in South Africa and what affects the cost

The total price of laminate flooring depends on the quality range, the size of the area, how many doorways and corners need cutting, and whether any subfloor work is required. Higher abrasion class boards, longer planks and imported brands usually cost more per square metre, but they can offer stronger warranties and better stability over time.

We always separate the material cost from labour so you can see exactly what you are paying for. When needed, we also quote for skirting, scotia, profiles, stair nosings and floor preparation, because these extras can change between homes. This way your laminate flooring price stays transparent and there are no surprises on the installation day.

For a detailed overview of typical price ranges and examples, you can visit our laminate flooring prices page and our updated guide on laminate flooring prices for 2026. If you need a once off calculation for your own rooms, our team can help you measure and prepare a written quotation.

When you are ready to move forward, you can send us your room sizes through the laminate flooring quotes page and we will respond with a personalized quote that includes both laminate flooring and professional installation.

How our laminate flooring installation process works

A smooth installation is just as important as choosing the right laminate floor. Our teams start by assessing your existing floor finish, whether it is tiles, screed, wood or old carpets. We check for moisture, major height differences and movement, because laminate flooring needs a reasonably level and dry base to perform properly.

Once the subfloor is checked, we select the correct underlay, plan the board direction and set out the starting lines. This helps to reduce narrow cuts and ensures that the laminate flooring runs neatly through doorways and into adjoining rooms. Door trims, skirting and finishing profiles are fitted at the end so that the overall look is neat and consistent.

If your home has large areas or particularly uneven floors, we may recommend additional preparation such as self levelling screed. We explain these options in advance so that you can decide what is best for your project and budget. For clients who want to understand this in more detail, our wood floor and laminate installation guide gives extra context on subfloors, expansion gaps and finishing trims.

Where laminate flooring works best in South Africa

Laminate flooring works well in most dry, indoor rooms. Lounge areas, bedrooms, passages, playrooms and home offices are the most common spaces we upgrade. Many clients also choose laminate floors for open plan living spaces where they want a consistent look from one end of the room to the other.

Because laminate flooring is still a wood based product, it is not designed for constant moisture or direct water exposure. For bathrooms, showers and some kitchens, we normally recommend suitable vinyl flooring instead. You can find more details on that option on our vinyl flooring page.

Colour plays a big part in the final result. Light laminate flooring can make smaller rooms feel more open, while darker wood tones create a cozy, grounded feel. If you are unsure which style will work in your space, you can visit our showrooms to view full room setups or browse inspiration on our product and blog pages, including our article on brown laminate flooring design ideas.

Clients in Gauteng who want to compare several styles in one place can also explore our broader range of products and trends on the laminate floors Gauteng page.

Underfloor heating, pets and laminate flooring care

Many modern laminate flooring ranges are suitable for use over underfloor heating, provided the subfloor temperature stays within the manufacturer’s guidelines and the system is used correctly. When you request a quote, please let us know if you have underfloor heating so that we can recommend compatible products and guide you on safe heating cycles.

Laminate flooring is also a practical choice for homes with pets. The closed surface does not trap hair the way carpets do and it is easy to clean up small accidents or muddy paw prints. We still advise felt pads under heavy furniture and careful lifting of large items to avoid scratches over time.

Routine care is simple. Regular vacuuming and a damp microfiber mop are usually enough to keep laminate floors looking good. Harsh abrasives and very wet mops should be avoided. If you are interested in long term performance and how laminate compares to other options, you can read more on our

Frequently Asked Question

Question 1: Is laminate flooring a good choice for South African homes?
Answer: Yes. Laminate flooring works very well in South African homes because it handles everyday wear, resists fading from sunlight and is easy to keep clean. It is ideal for lounges, bedrooms, passages and home offices, and installs quickly with minimal mess when fitted by an experienced team.

Question 2: How much does laminate flooring cost per square metre?
>>>>>>Answer: The price per square meter depends on the brand, thickness, AC rating and whether you include installation, skirting and profiles. Entry level ranges start lower, while premium 12 mm and water-resistant ranges cost more but offer longer warranties. For current examples you can visit our laminate flooring prices page.

Question 3: Can laminate flooring be installed over tiles?
>>>>>>Answer: In many homes we successfully install laminate flooring over existing tiles, provided the tiles are firmly fixed and the floor is reasonably level. Where tiles are loose or the floor is very uneven, we may recommend self-levelling screed first. During a site visit our team checks this and advises on the best preparation for your home.

Question 4: Is laminate flooring suitable for kitchens and areas with moisture?
>>>>>>Answer: Modern laminate flooring works well in open-plan kitchens when you wipe up any standing water quickly and leave the correct expansion gaps during installation. For bathrooms, showers and very wet areas, we recommend using suitable vinyl flooring because it handles moisture much better. For bathrooms, showers and very wet areas we usually recommend suitable vinyl flooring instead, as it offers better moisture resistance under South African conditions.
