Laminate Flooring: Stylish, Affordable & Built for Life in Auckland Homes
When it comes to balancing style, durability, and cost, few flooring options can compete with laminate flooring. At ATS Design, we’re proud to supply and install high-performance laminate flooring that’s ideal for modern living across the Auckland region.
Whether you're renovating a home, upgrading an investment property, or finishing a new build, our laminate flooring offers a practical and beautiful foundation for your space—without blowing the budget.
Built for Everyday Living
Laminate flooring is often underestimated—but not when you’ve experienced the quality of our modern designs. Developed for real-life demands, today’s laminate features a high-density core that gives it strength and structural stability, a stain- and scratch-resistant wear layer to protect against damage, and an advanced water-resistant surfacethat holds up in moisture-prone zones.
This means it’s more than just a budget option—it’s a smart long-term investment. Laminate flooring is perfect for busy families, pet owners, and anyone who wants a stylish, easy-care surface that looks good and lasts.
Many of our clients love that it replicates the look and texture of real timber or stone tiles—offering the same aesthetic charm without the price tag or upkeep. With evolving styles inspired by natural wood grains, wide planks, and even stone tile effect finishes, laminate has truly entered a new era of design versatility.
Perfect for Every Room in the House
One of the biggest advantages of laminate flooring in Auckland homes is its adaptability. It’s a strong performer in almost every room:
Kitchens & Dining Rooms
Say goodbye to stressing over dropped food or spilled drinks. Laminate’s water-resistant surface and easy-clean top layer make it a fantastic option for busy kitchen spaces. The realistic wood visuals also add warmth and character to open-plan areas.
Living Rooms & Bedrooms
Bring comfort and beauty to your everyday spaces. Laminate offers a warm underfoot feel and looks just like traditional hardwood, creating a cosy atmosphere in lounges and bedrooms—without the maintenance of real timber.
Hallways & Entrances
These are some of the most high-traffic areas in any home. Laminate’s durable top layer resists scuffs, dirt, and moisture from shoes and bags, making it ideal for entryways that take a beating every day.
Laundries & Bathrooms
While not suitable for wet areas like showers, laminate can be used in bathrooms and laundries when installed correctly and with proper waterproofing. Its water-resistant core handles splashes and humidity far better than timber, giving you peace of mind in damp-prone zones.
Benefits That Actually Matter
Forget marketing fluff—here’s what people genuinely love about choosing laminate flooring in Auckland homes:
1. Cost-Effective Luxury
Laminate offers the premium look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the price. It's ideal for large spaces or entire-home installations where budget matters, but style can’t be compromised. You can achieve a high-end look without the high-end price tag.
2. Durable & Low Maintenance
The surface is designed to resist scratches, dents, and stains, making it ideal for homes with kids, pets, or just everyday foot traffic. You won’t need to sand, polish, or refinish—just sweep regularly and mop with a damp cloth when needed.
3. Realistic Wood & Stone Looks
Thanks to advanced printing technology and embossed textures, today’s laminate flooring looks and feels surprisingly like real timber or stone. You can choose from a wide range of styles—from modern matte finishes to traditional oak or contemporary tile effects.
4. Quick & Easy Installation
Our laminate range uses a floating click-lock system, which means it can be installed over most existing floors. This makes for a cleaner, faster install—saving on both time and labour costs. It’s a particularly great option for rental renovations, investment properties, or clients on a deadline.
5. Quiet, Comfortable & Family-Friendly
With built-in underlay options and solid board thickness, laminate flooring offers softness underfoot and reduces footfall noise—especially useful for upstairs rooms or homes with active households.
“Primarily for hygiene reasons… Spill something on the floor… just wipe it up.
Laminate is awesome if you have a young family.”
