Living Room Laminate Flooring FAQs

Which way is best to lay laminate flooring in a living room?

The best way to lay your living room laminate is by running your planks parallel to the longest wall and towards your main source of natural light. This prevents harsh shadows from casting sideways across the joints and creates a seamless, professional finish. If your living room connects to a dining room or hallway, make sure to maintain the same direction to avoid stark transitions.

How much is laminate flooring for a living room?

Is underlay recommended for living room laminate flooring?

Underlay is recommended for floating floor options like laminate. For living rooms, it all depends on your subfloor. If you have a wooden subfloor, laminate can help provide a level surface for your flooring, while concrete flooring may need a layer of moisture-resistant underlay. Living room laminate underlay helps lock in heat and improve sound absorption.

Will living room laminate flooring scratch easily?

Our laminate for living room spaces is designed with a protective top layer and sturdy core, making it resistant to scratches from living room furniture. We still recommend using protective furniture feet pads to help prevent unnecessary damage and scratches.

How do I care for living room laminate flooring?

A quick sweep with a soft broom or a lightly damp microfibre mop and a laminate-friendly cleaner is all you need to keep your living room laminate looking good.

Our laminate care guide offers all the tips and tricks you need to keep your laminate floors fresh.
