Laminate flooring is one of the UK’s most popular flooring options, and it’s easy to see why. Perfectly replicating the look and feel of real wood, yet at a much lower price, it’s a versatile and attractive option for family homes. Unfortunately, in high-traffic areas of the home some laminates can quickly begin to show signs of wear and tear. Scratches, scuffs and marks are all too easily caused, and they can leave your newly installed floor looking worn and scruffy before too long. Luckily, superior laminates, such as Quick Step Laminate Flooring, are designed to withstand the wear and tear of busy family homes and can retain their flawless finish for longer.

In many homes, hallways are the first areas to show scratches and marks. While using a sturdy doormat at the entrance to your home can reduce the number of stones and pieces of sharp debris trodden into the hallway by family members and visitors, it’s not possible to entirely protect your floor. That’s why it’s important to select a hard-wearing and durable laminate, especially in high-traffic areas. Laminates such as Quick Step Laminate Flooring are up to ten times more resistant to scratches than many other varieties, meaning they will look new for much longer.

Homes with pets such as cats and dogs are also vulnerable to scratched floors. Not only are animals likely to carry small stones, pieces of gravel and other debris indoors on their paws, but sharp claws can quickly cause scratches and marks on your new flooring. Scratch-resistant laminates are a great option for homeowners with pets, as they provide extra strength and peace of mind, meaning you don’t need to worry every time you hear your furry friends running through the house.
