Product Information

Full details

The Underfoot 8mm Olive Oak laminate is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve the aesthetic of natural wood with enhanced durability. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a realistic registered-embossed finish and a robust AC4 wear rating, making it perfectly suited for busy domestic spaces like living rooms and hallways. While the 24-hour water-resistant construction offers excellent protection against spills, users should note that it is not intended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or mudrooms.

FAQs

Can I install this in a bathroom?

No, while the flooring is water-resistant, it is not waterproof and should not be used in high-humidity areas like bathrooms or wet rooms.

Is an underlayment required?

Yes, a suitable laminate underlayment is essential for noise reduction, leveling, and moisture protection.

How much should I order?

Measure the room area and add 10% for waste/cutting. Each pack covers 1.83m².

Can it be used with electric underfloor heating?

This flooring is compatible with most underfloor heating systems. Always check the heating system's manual to ensure it is approved for use with 8mm laminate.

Do I need to acclimate the planks?

Yes, store the sealed packs in the room of installation for at least 48 hours to allow the material to adjust to the home's temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Gaps appearing between planks

Check that the subfloor is level; use a tapping block to gently close gaps if they appear after installation.

Floor sounding hollow or noisy

Ensure a high-quality acoustic underlayment was installed beneath the boards to reduce sound transmission.

Water damage at seams

While water-resistant for 24 hours, standing water should be removed immediately. If swelling occurs, contact the supplier regarding the installation environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality realistic wood aesthetic
  • Easy L2C click-locking installation
  • Durable AC4 wear rating for busy homes
  • Water-resistant up to 24 hours
  • Compatible with underfloor heating

Cons

  • Not suitable for bathrooms or wet rooms
  • Requires professional underlayment
  • Limited to 8mm thickness only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation relies on the L2C click-system; ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and dry before starting. It is highly recommended to use a moisture barrier underlayment if installing over concrete. For ongoing care, use a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hard-floor setting to remove dust. Clean with a slightly damp mop using a mild, PH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid steam mops and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the integrity of the water-resistant coating and the locking joints.
