Laminate flooring is very commonly used in homes across Ireland, providing homeowners with the stunning look of real wood flooring but with added practicality and affordability. Amongst the various thicknesses available, 8mm laminate flooring is frequently selected for use in homes due to its excellent durability, ease of installation, and wide range of design options, amongst many other benefits. Here at Madison Flooring, we supply our Irish customers with an extensive range of high-quality flooring, including 8mm laminate, to help transform any space.
In this post, we’ll explore the many benefits of 8mm laminate flooring and share five of the top options available in our collection.
The Benefits of Choosing 8mm Laminate Flooring
There are many different thicknesses of laminate flooring to choose from, which can make it challenging for homeowners to choose the right one for their homes. 8mm laminate flooring is very commonly chosen, as it meets the needs of most domestic properties extremely well, making it a preferred option over thicker alternatives. At Madison Flooring, we offer a wide selection of 8mm laminate flooring options, so you can have a full range of styles, colours, and finishes to choose from in this practical thickness. Below, our team explores three of the key benefits of choosing 8mm laminate flooring for your property below and discover what makes it such a dependable and attractive option.
- Ideal Thickness for Domestic Use
8mm laminate flooring is the ideal thickness for domestic use, which is why it’s so popular in homes. It’s thick enough to withstand daily foot traffic and offer the ideal level of underfoot comfort, yet not so thick that it becomes difficult to fit in areas with lower door clearances. This provides the perfect balance between durability and ease of installation. It’s a highly practical choice, whether you’re renovating a bedroom, hallway, or living room, offering the strength needed without unnecessary bulk.

Excellent Value for Money
Choosing 8mm laminate also allows you to enjoy the appearance of high-end wood flooring at a fraction of the cost of real wood floors. It provides extremely strong performance and longevity while being much more affordable than thicker laminate or solid wood alternatives. With proper care, 8mm laminate can last for many years, making it a cost-effective investment that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or quality.

Wide Choice of Styles and Finishes
Another benefit of 8mm laminate is the comprehensive variety of styles, colours, and finishes available. At Madison Flooring, our 8mm range includes everything from wood-effect planks to marble-inspired designs, in a wide range of colours, shades, and finishes. Whether you’re after a light and airy interior or something darker and more dramatic, you’ll find a laminate option to suit your décor perfectly, all in the versatile and practical 8mm thickness.
