What is laminate flooring?
Laminate typically combines a decorative surface with a fibreboard core. It creates a timber look, with durability and moisture suitability that depend on the selected product.
Laminate supply and fitting for everyday living.
TP Carpets supplies and fits flooring across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and nearby North Staffordshire communities. Compare options at home and discuss measuring, preparation and fitting before agreeing your quotation.
Underlay, edges and transitions
The base needs to be suitable before fitting. We discuss underlay, expansion allowances, thresholds and door clearances so the floor and surrounding details work together.
Choose for the room
Compare plank tone, texture and the manufacturer’s use guidance. Some products have additional moisture protection; do not assume all laminate is suitable for bathrooms.

Your questions, answered.
Is laminate the same as real wood?
No. Laminate uses a decorative surface to create the look of timber. Real wood flooring contains a genuine wood surface.
Can laminate be fitted over an uneven base?
The base must meet the selected manufacturer’s requirements. Uneven areas may need preparation before fitting; underlay is not a substitute for correcting unsuitable levels.
