Why laminate is back, and better than ever
Modern laminate isn't the plasticky click-floor of 15 years ago. Today's AC4 and AC5 laminate uses high-resolution printed wear layers, beveled micro-edges, and embossed-in-register textures that read as real [hardwood](/hardwood-flooring) from across the room. London Flooring Canada stocks European-made laminate from Krono, Egger, and Quick-Step for The Greater London Area homes that want a genuine wood look on a tougher surface.
Laminate is the right choice when you want hardwood looks but need a tougher surface - rental properties, busy family rooms, hallways, kids' bedrooms, and basement bonus rooms across the Greater London area.
AC ratings - the only spec that matters
The AC (Abrasion Class) rating tells you how the wear layer holds up. We won't install anything below AC4 in The Greater London Area homes.
- AC3 - light residential only (bedrooms, low-traffic spaces); not recommended
- AC4 - heavy residential and light commercial; our default for most homes
- AC5 - heavy commercial; ideal for entryways, hallways, and rental properties
- AC6 - intense commercial use; available on special order
- Water-resistant cores (HDF or SPC-hybrid) - required for kitchens and bathrooms
Special Financing Available*
*Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See design consultant for details.
See financing optionsHow we install laminate that doesn't squeak or peak
Laminate is a floating floor - if you don't prep the subfloor flat and leave proper expansion gaps, it telegraphs every flaw and peaks at the seams. We laser-level every floor before install, use 3-in-1 underlayment with vapor barrier on concrete, and leave the proper 1/4" perimeter gap concealed by baseboard or quarter-round.
Every laminate install includes acclimation (48 hours on-site before installation) - essential given how much a Southwestern Ontario home's humidity shifts between seasons - end-joint staggering for strength, and color-matched transitions to adjacent rooms. Considering [laminate stairs](/laminate-stairs) to match? We install those too.

Laminate Flooring - frequently asked questions
No - laminate has a wood-fiber (HDF) core and a printed/laminated wear layer; [vinyl plank](/luxury-vinyl-plank) has a plastic core and is fully waterproof. Laminate is harder underfoot but more sensitive to standing water.
Modern water-resistant laminate (AquaGuard, Hydroseal, etc.) handles kitchen spills fine. We don't recommend standard laminate near sinks or dishwashers.
AC4 laminate typically lasts 15-20 years in residential use; AC5 commercial-grade can last 25+ years. The wear layer isn't designed to be sanded or restored later - when it wears out, the plank gets replaced.
Yes - every quote includes demo and disposal of the existing floor. Concrete slab and plywood subfloor prep are inspected during the [in-home estimate](/free-estimate).
