At Floorpride Christchurch, we're passionate about providing top-quality flooring solutions. We're proud to bring you the best laminate flooring New Zealand has to offer. As Christchurch's premier destination for laminate flooring, we've carefully curated a collection that showcases the finest in modern laminate technology.

What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is a versatile, cost-effective flooring solution that convincingly mimics the appearance of natural materials like wood or stone. It consists of multiple layers fused together, topped with a high-resolution photographic layer and a durable, clear protective layer. This innovative construction offers the beauty of natural materials with enhanced durability and easier maintenance.

Laminate provides homeowners and businesses with an affordable way to achieve the look of premium flooring materials without the associated costs and upkeep challenges.

Why Laminate is a Smart Choice

Authentic Appeal

Today's laminate flooring captures the essence of natural materials with remarkable accuracy. Advanced printing techniques create planks that closely replicate the intricate patterns and textures of real wood or stone. You can enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere of timber flooring or the sleek elegance of stone without concerns about natural material vulnerabilities.

Exceptional Durability

Laminate flooring stands up impressively to daily wear and tear in both homes and commercial spaces. Its multi-layer structure, crowned with a robust wear layer, offers excellent resistance to scratches, impacts, and stains. This toughness makes laminate an ideal choice for busy family homes, pet-friendly environments, or high-traffic commercial areas that demand flooring that can withstand constant use.

Endless Variety

From classic timber looks to contemporary stone-inspired designs, our laminate collection caters to every taste and interior style. We offer a wide range of options, from light, breezy beech tones to rich, dramatic slate effects.

Laminate Flooring FAQs

How does laminate flooring compare to hardwood?

Laminate flooring offers the look of hardwood at a more affordable price point. It's more resistant to scratches and dents, easier to maintain, and often more suitable for high-moisture areas compared to traditional hardwood floors.

What's the typical lifespan of laminate flooring?

With proper care and maintenance, quality laminate flooring can last between 15 to 25 years in residential settings. Factors such as foot traffic, quality of installation, and regular maintenance all play a role in determining its longevity.

Is laminate flooring suitable for areas prone to moisture?

Many modern laminate products offer improved moisture resistance, making them suitable for areas like kitchens. However, for bathrooms or laundry rooms, it's crucial to choose specially designed water-resistant laminate and ensure proper installation to prevent water damage.

What's the best way to clean and maintain laminate floors?

Laminate floors are relatively low-maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping using a laminate-specific cleaner, is usually sufficient. Avoid excessive water, harsh chemicals, and abrasive cleaning tools to protect the floor's surface.

Can laminate flooring be installed over existing floors?

In many instances, laminate can be installed over existing flooring, provided the surface is clean, dry, and level. This can save time and reduce installation costs. However, we recommend a professional assessment to ensure the subfloor is suitable for a successful laminate installation.

Are laminate floors an eco-friendly option?

Many laminate flooring options are designed with environmental considerations in mind. Look for products made from sustainably sourced materials, with low VOC emissions, and those that are recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. Some manufacturers also offer laminate made partially from recycled materials.

Hello Tracey
This is just a quick note to let you know that I'm thrilled with the carpet. It's gorgeous - exactly what I envisioned. The shade of green is just perfect. (Thank you Bremworth!!)
If you ever happen to be over this way please feel free to let me know and come and see what the floors in the flat look like now, with the Karndean parquet style floors downstairs and this carpet on stairs and upstairs.
Dave did a lovely job and I'm grateful for his lovely efforts. It's very hard work.
