Whether you’re refurbishing your kitchen or looking for the perfect waterproof floor for your bathroom, it’s hard to go wrong with a simple set of laminate flooring!
A popular flooring choice for first-time buyers and home renovators alike, laminate is loved for its water resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance – not to mention being an affordable alternative to traditional hardwood flooring!
But much like carpets and engineered wood floors, not all laminate flooring is the same. However, the best laminate flooring will be hard-wearing, water-resistant, and tailored to seamlessly match the décor of whatever room you lay it in.
As you might expect, this can make finding the best laminate floor for your needs a bit tricky, which is why we’ve created a list of the best laminate floors in our range to get you started.
Take a look at our top laminate floor picks below!

Why you should choose laminate flooring
Laminate is a popular choice for homeowners seeking a cost-effective alternative to more conventional flooring materials. Being both durable and low-maintenance, it provides a nice middle-ground between affordability and long lifespan, giving you a fantastic flooring aesthetic without breaking the bank.
Indeed, despite being a cheaper product than standard wood flooring or stone tiles, laminate floors are still capable of lasting up to 15 years before needing to be replaced, proving that longevity and outstanding quality is not necessarily linked to a high price point.
Which is the best laminate flooring?
At the end of the day, the best floor laminate for your home is going to be the brand and product that directly meets your specific flooring needs, which is why it’s so important to ensure the laminate flooring you’re interested in meets your room’s requirements.
Is the laminate of good quality and from a reputable brand? Is it thick enough to support regular foot traffic? Is its water-resistance rating high enough to cope with a given room’s moisture levels?
And perhaps most importantly – does it match your home’s décor and is it within your budget?
So long as you consider all these areas, you can be confident that you’re picking the best floor laminate for your home.
Which are the best laminate flooring brands in the UK?
When it comes to the best laminate flooring brands in the UK, you have quite the range to choose from. However, here at Flooring King, we find that Royal Riveria, Kronospan, and Quickstep tend to be the most popular brand choices for our customers.
Known for their high-quality planks, and laminate thicknesses ranging from 7mm to 12mm, not only are the majority of Royal Riveria, Kronospan, and Quickstep laminate products highly durable and water resistant, but they’re also available in oak, pine, stone, and walnut finishes, to name a few.
If you want laminate flooring from a well-known and quality-conscious brand, we’d highly recommend checking out laminate flooring from any of these three brands.
