Is It for You?
Where laminate works best
01
Busy family homes
A tough wear layer that stands up to kids, pets and furniture. AC ratings tell you how tough: AC5 is rated for heavy commercial use.
02
Bedrooms and living areas
Laid over an underlay, so it’s warmer underfoot than tiles.
03
Rentals and offices
Hard-wearing and easy to keep clean, with ranges rated for commercial traffic.
04
Not for wet rooms
Laminate doesn’t like standing water. For kitchens and bathrooms, look at SPC or vinyl.
The AC Rating
How tough do you need?
Laminate is graded for wear. AC3 suits most homes and moderate commercial use, AC4 handles general commercial traffic, and AC5 is made for heavy commercial floors.
Our ranges cover all three, from AGT Bella Neo (AC3) to Black Forest+ and Parador Trendtime 6 (AC5).
- AC3: heavy domestic, moderate commercial
- AC4: heavy domestic, general commercial
- AC5: heavy domestic, heavy commercial

How It Works
How we install laminate
01
Assessment
We visit, measure up, check the floor underneath and talk through the ranges and colours. You get a detailed, no-obligation quote by email with fully transparent pricing.
02
Preparation
We check the screed underneath is solid, level and dry, repair or level any weak or uneven areas, and lay a moisture barrier where it’s needed.
03
Installation
The floor is laid the way Finfloor specifies for that range, with the right underlay or adhesive and the expansion gaps it needs.
04
Trims and Finishing
Colour-matched trims and profiles finish the edges and doorways. New skirting is quoted separately, or we carefully lift and reuse yours if it’s in good condition.
05
Handover
We check the job with you and leave you the care guide for your floor, so it stays looking new.

What Our Clients Say
Questions
Laminate questions
Is laminate waterproof?
No. Some ranges resist surface water for a while (Black Forest+ for 72 hours), but standing water, leaks and flooding will damage it. For wet areas, SPC is the better choice.
What does the AC rating mean?
It’s the wear grade. AC3 is fine for homes and moderate commercial use, AC4 for general commercial, and AC5 for heavy commercial traffic.
Can laminate go over tiles?
Usually, yes, if the tiles are solid and flat with none loose, because laminate floats over an underlay. Deep grout lines or damaged tiles may need levelling first. We check at the assessment.
Can laminate be sanded?
No. The look is a printed layer under a wear layer, so it can’t be sanded like real wood. If you want a floor you can refinish later, look at engineered wood.
How do I look after it?
Sweep or vacuum (no beater bar), and clean with a well-wrung, slightly damp microfibre mop. No wax, polish or steam mops.
