The benefits of different laminate flooring options
Laminate wood flooring is available in two primary installation styles, floating click-together laminate and direct glue-down. Each provides distinct advantages.
Craig outlines the advantages of each type below:
Floating click-together laminate
Laminate flooring with a floating click-together installation system is perfect for those seeking quick and hassle-free installation. This style is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and temporary flooring solutions, offering the flexibility to disassemble and reinstall as needed.
- Quick and easy installation without adhesive
- Ideal for DIY projects and temporary solutions
- Can be disassembled and reinstalled if needed
Direct glue-down laminate
For spaces requiring maximum stability and moisture resistance, direct glue-down laminate flooring is the ideal choice. This installation method provides a solid underfoot feel and is suitable for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces.

Choosing the right laminate thickness and grade
If you’re looking for an affordable laminate flooring for low-traffic areas in the home then consider the 8mm thick planks. 10mm planks are better suited to high-traffic areas and commercial use.
Laminate floor planks are available in 2 widths, the standard width plank creates a more traditional look whilst the extra wide planks look great in larger, more modern interior spaces. If you’re looking for a more seamless appearance then you can’t beat the extra-long laminate planks.
