Beige Laminate Flooring

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is beige laminate flooring popular?

Beige laminate flooring has gained immense popularity for its versatility and sophisticated appearance. Its neutral tone pairs well with any colour scheme, whether it's vibrant, minimalistic, or monochrome. It introduces a sense of tranquillity to the space, while retaining an element of style and elegance. 

The varying patterns and textures available imitate the look of real wood or stone, giving homeowners an affordable and practical alternative.

Is beige laminate flooring waterproof?

Standard beige laminate flooring isn't waterproof, although it does have some resistance to moisture. This means you can install it with caution in areas like the kitchen. You can purchase waterproof laminate flooring like the Quick-Step Capture Beige Varnished Oak if you want to use it in high-moisture areas. These floors feature special coatings and tight-locking systems to prevent water penetration, making them suitable for moisture-prone areas. 

Where can I install beige laminate floors?

Beige laminate floors can be installed in almost any room. From bedrooms to living rooms, they enhance the aesthetics and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere. However, for high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, it's advised to use waterproof laminate to prevent water damage and ensure longevity.

You can install a wood effect beige laminate floor like the Quick-Step Eligna Venice Oak Beige to create a chic, stylish space. Or, why not opt for a striking herringbone effect floor like the Berry Alloc Chateau Bloom Light Brown for a luxurious, high-end look?

How thick is beige laminate flooring?

Beige laminate flooring ranges in thickness from 9mm to 12mm. The thickness of the flooring impacts not only how it feels underfoot, but also its durability and sound insulation qualities. The thicker the laminate, the tougher it will be. Thicker floors tend to have thicker wear layers, which provide protection against daily wear and tear.

Does laminate beige flooring need underlay?

Yes, beige laminate flooring does require an underlay. A good quality underlay serves multiple purposes. It can provide a moisture barrier, reduce noise, and enhance thermal insulation. It also helps smooth out minor imperfections in the subfloor, allowing for a flat and stable laminate installation.

How do I care for beige laminate flooring?

Caring for beige laminate flooring is straightforward and hassle-free. A daily sweep or vacuum will remove dust and debris, maintaining its clean appearance. If you want to give it a deeper, more thorough clean, use a damp (not wet) mop with a laminate-approved cleaner. Avoid using excess water or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the flooring over time.

You can also protect your new laminate by adding rugs to high-traffic areas and placing mats at entranceways to the home. Each beige laminate floor will come with instructions from the manufacturer advising how to adequately care for it. 

How long will beige laminate flooring last?

The lifespan of beige laminate flooring typically ranges between 10 to 15 years. The quality of the floor, the amount of foot traffic the room receives, and how well it's maintained will contribute to its longevity. With proper care and occasional deep cleaning, your beige laminate flooring can look great for many years, providing excellent value for your investment.
