Is laminate flooring waterproof?

Unfortunately, laminate flooring is not waterproof. However, some ranges can be water resistant which still makes it a good option for moisture heavy environments like bathrooms or kitchens. Water resistant laminate flooring is splash and spillage resistant so you can be sure that your new floor is not going to bend or expand after extended water exposure. To be doubly sure that your floor is protected, adding a rug or a bath mat in areas where drinks or water is likely to be spilled is best to ensure that your floor looks great for years to come.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when laying laminate flooring?

You should always check the manufacturer’s instructions as these will detail how you should place the planks and ensure they are locked together to prevent you from accidently damaging your new flooring. Using an appropriate laminate floor underlay is also important as this will allow you to prevent damage and keep your floor looking great for a longer time. It also acts to insulate your home better, helping you to keep warm in the winter, and helps to reduce the amount of noise produced as you enjoy your home.

Make sure these are diluted to the instructions on the bottle and you will have a sparkling surface in no time. To protect your laminate flooring from dirt and grime, you can easily do so with a rug in living spaces to stop spilled drinks from damaging the surface of your new floor, or a door mat in a hallway for all the muddy footprints when you come back from enjoying a rainy day.
