Look beyond the surface of laminate flooring
A laminate floor is about more than its wood-look finish. Two floors can look similar but differ in how they’re made and how they handle everyday life. We know what to look for when comparing laminate flooring, and can help you choose a quality floor that suits your home and performs well over its lifetime.
Our collections offer a wide choice of colours, grain patterns and realistic surface textures, so you can find a look that feels right for your space. The underlay matters too: a compatible option can influence how your floor feels and sounds underfoot. We offer standard and noise-reducing underlays, and can help you choose one to suit your selected floor and project.
FAQs
How much does laminate flooring cost?
The cost of laminate flooring depends on the product you choose and the specific requirements of your home. Room layout, trims, underlay, subfloor preparation and site conditions can all affect the final installed price. Because of this, a square metre rate laminate flooring price will not reflect the true cost of the installed floor. The best way to get accurate pricing is to arrange a free measure and quote.
Why choose laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a practical choice if you want the look of timber flooring with strong durability and a more cost-effective price point. Quality laminate handles everyday wear well and offers excellent resistance to scratches, fading and surface wear, making it a popular option for busy family homes and homes with pets.
What’s the difference between laminate and timber flooring?
Laminate flooring is a synthetic product made by fusing a photographic layer onto a coreboard and laid to look like a timber floor. It's a cost-effective alternative made to replicate a natural timber floor, with the advantage of increased durability and fade resistance.
Can laminate flooring be installed in kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, selected laminate flooring can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms if it meets the required building code criteria for wet and splash areas. Floorboards has the expertise to specify the right laminate flooring for these spaces and can provide supporting consent documentation for clients who purchase and install their flooring through Floorboards.
Can laminate flooring be installed over tiles?
Laminate floors can be laid over existing vinyl, concrete, chipboard, ply and even tiles–any flat and dry subfloor. This makes laminate floor installation a great solution for home renovation improvements as laminate flooring can hide any unsightly subfloors with a beautiful flooring surface that's both modern and stylish.
Do laminate floors need underlay?
Our laminate flooring is installed with underlay, which cushions the planks and hides minor imperfections in the subfloor surface to help create a better installation finish. We have two underlay solutions for you to select with your floor - standard or noise reduction.
Can you install my laminate flooring?
If you've purchased your laminate flooring from us at Floorboards, we offer a professional installation service. Our installation teams install our floors throughout homes in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Lower Coromandel regions.

Yes, we offer supply-only on selected ranges and clearance items for builders and experienced DIY'ers who have the tools and skills to install flooring themselves.
