Beige/Light Browns

Beige and light-brown laminate floors create bright, warm spaces with a natural look. Their soft tones suit both modern and classic interiors and make rooms feel more open.

Beige/Light Browns · The look

Beige/Light Browns in the 8 mm laminate range are two designs, Colorado and Gelibolu. AC4 rated, click-fitted boards at 193 mm by 1204 mm on an HDF core, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty.

Pale board, hard surface
A light oak look with a melamine wear surface that resists the scratching a pale real oak would show. The pale tone bounces light around a bedroom or a landing; the surface takes the chair legs.
AC4
The abrasion class under EN 13329, which runs from AC1 to AC6. AC4 sits in the upper half of that scale, and every board in this range carries it; the classes and the standard are quoted below.
Dry rooms
Bedrooms, landings, living rooms and home offices. The core is wood fibre, and the standard that covers laminate excludes rooms that get wet regularly; for those, the rigid vinyl range is the pale-floor answer.
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
Not this laminate, and not by the standard that covers it. EN 13329 is quoted below and excludes areas subject to frequent wetting such as bathrooms and laundry rooms, because the HDF core takes on water. For a pale floor in a wet room, the rigid vinyl range has the same tones on a core that does not.
What does AC4 mean?
AC4 means an abrasion class under EN 13329, the laminate standard, which grades boards from AC1 to AC6 by how their surface stands up to abrasion. Every board in this range is AC4. The classes are quoted below.
Is underlay included?
No. Unlike the rigid vinyl floors, these boards are listed without an attached underlay backing, so an underlay is laid first. The industry association's account of what an underlay does under a floating floor is quoted below; the choice of underlay also decides how the floor sounds.
How long does laminate last?
Typically 10 to 15 years in a busy home. It cannot be sanded or refinished, so when the surface is worn the boards are replaced.
Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?
Yes, UK-wide delivery options, and samples from £1.99 so you can check colour and texture at home first.

Choosing pale laminate

The two pale laminates, Colorado and Gelibolu, are the same board in two designs: 8 mm thick, 193 mm by 1204 mm, a melamine wear surface over a printed decor on a high-density fibreboard core, click-fitted, micro-bevelled, rated AC4, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty and 2.32 square metres to the box. That is the whole specification, and it means the choice between them is the printed design and nothing else.

What a laminate is for is dry rooms with traffic: a bedroom, a landing, a home office, a living room with children in it. The melamine surface is harder than a vinyl wear layer or an oiled oak, so it takes the chair legs and the toy cars; the AC4 class describes that. What it is not for is water. The core is wood fibre, and the laminate standard itself, quoted below, excludes rooms that get wet regularly.

Laid as a floating floor, the boards go over an underlay rather than straight onto the subfloor, and the underlay decides more than most people expect: it levels small imperfections, protects against residual moisture from the base, and sets how the floor sounds underfoot. The industry association's account of those three jobs is quoted below, with the expansion gap it recommends at the edges of any floating floor.

A pale laminate reads cooler and more even than a pale oak, because the design is printed; that suits a modern bedroom and can look flat in a period room. For the same pale tone in real timber, the engineered light oak boards are the dry-room alternative; for a wet room, the pale rigid vinyl floors.
