Versatile, low-maintenance and available in a range of colours to suit different needs, laminate flooring has long been a sought-after, cost-effective choice in domestic and commercial settings.

Essentially, it is made up of composite wood fused together at a high temperature. This is then covered with an image of hardwood to produce the laminate, topped by a final clear, hard layer for additional durability and sheen.

Especially if funds are limited, for example for first home owners or start-up businesses, laminate is an affordable choice because no real wood or wood veneers are used in the manufacturing process. So, typically, it is at least 50% cheaper to install than solid hardwood flooring.

Laminate flooring is well-suited to areas of your home where there is high traffic, and it’s easily cleaned as well as durable. Most stains can be removed with a damp cloth. And, because it’s moisture and scratch resistant, it’s also a good choice for pet owners and in all areas of the home, except bathrooms.

At the same time, it can be fitted over just about any existing kind of floor covering, apart from of course carpet. It can also be taken up easily as and when necessary.

Laminate is also versatile enough that it can be made in the appearance of many different kinds of wood, such as walnut, with oak laminate flooring being especially popular.

Equally, if you prefer a stone-style laminate, that’s another thing to consider.

At Innovation Flooring, we offer an extensive selection of laminate flooring materials, with around 80 products currently in stock, so you won’t find a greater choice anywhere else in North Antrim. This includes a full range of colours and qualities.

If you want to see some of our products in person before making your decision, visit our Ballymoney showroom on Seymour Street or our Coleraine showroom at Loughanhill Industrial Estate – both showrooms are open six days a week.

Our trained, experienced staff can talk you through your options and will do so without pressurising you into a decision or even to buy with us.

You’re also welcome to take samples home with you to get a better feel for how the flooring will look in the room where it will be laid. We also offer a measuring and estimating service.

Once you’ve chosen your laminate flooring, we can discuss delivery and fitting options with you. (We offer free local delivery.)
