Why Choose Bathroom Laminate Flooring from UK Flooring Direct?
Water Resistant
From shower spray to daily spillages, laminate bathroom flooring must withstand a daily dose of moisture. Ours is water-resistant, with modern advancements to resist and prevent water damage. Water-resistant laminate flooring has a tight, sealed surface and a durable core to prevent water from seeping in, making it ideal for bathroom use. While not completely waterproof, high-quality options like Aqualock 10mm Laminate Flooring and Audacity 12mm Laminate Flooring can handle occasional splashes and humidity. For added protection, proper installation with a moisture barrier and sealing edges with waterproof sealant can extend its lifespan.
Laminate that puts up with Bathroom Humidity
One of the biggest concerns about laminate in bathrooms is its ability to withstand humidity. High-quality bathroom laminate flooring is designed to resist moisture and warping when installed correctly.
- Ensure proper sealing of expansion gaps with waterproof sealant.
- Use a dehumidifier or an extractor fan to control moisture levels.
- Choose water-resistant laminates like Aqualock and Audacity, which are built to handle humid environments.
- Avoid standing water and quickly wipe up any spills or excess moisture.

Choice of Underlay for Bathroom Laminate Flooring
Underlay plays a crucial role in the longevity and performance of your laminate flooring. For bathrooms, there are three main things to consider:
- Look for a moisture-resistant underlay that protects against water infiltration and prevents mould growth.
- Some options, like Audacity 12mm Laminate Flooring, come with built-in underlay, simplifying installation and providing additional cushioning.
- Acoustic underlay reduces noise, making it ideal for multi-storey homes and flats. Series Woods 8mm Acoustic Laminate is a great example of a sound-absorbing laminate option.
