10mm Thick Laminate
10mm thick laminate flooring is a great step up if you want laminate to feel closer to a “proper” solid floor. The extra thickness helps create a more substantial feel underfoot and can be a smart choice for busier rooms where you want the floor to feel stable, consistent, and built to last.
Why Choose 10mm laminate flooring
- More solid feel: the extra thickness can reduce that “light” feel some laminates have
- Great for busy spaces: ideal when the room gets a lot of day-to-day use
- Cleaner finish across the home: a good option if you want the same thickness through main living areas
- Works well with a quality underlay: for improved comfort and a quieter feel
Where 10mm Works Best
10mm laminate suits high-use areas like living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. It’s also a good pick if you want a more premium feel without jumping to the thickest boards.
It’s also available in a range of styles, including Herringbone, Plank, and Tile Effect Laminate Flooring, so you can match the look to your space.
A Quick Note on Fitting
With 10mm, your prep still matters:
- Make sure the subfloor is flat, dry, and stable
- Choose the right underlay for your subfloor type
- Check door clearances before fitting (10mm + underlay can add height)
- Leave expansion gaps around the edges for long-term movement
