Hard flooring in strata apartments: acoustic rules explained
Swapping carpet for hard floors in an apartment usually needs strata approval and an acoustic underlay. Here's how the process works.
Laminate flooring
Scratch-resistant and affordable, with convincing timber designs.
Modern laminate has come a long way. High-pressure wear layers shrug off chair legs and claws, textures follow the printed grain, and the price makes it a sensible choice for bedrooms, upstairs rooms and investment properties.
Underlay makes the difference
Most complaints about laminate are really about the wrong underlay. We match the underlay to your subfloor and any strata acoustic rating.
Where it works best
- Bedrooms and upstairs
- Rentals
- Home offices
- Tighter budgets
Laminate questions
Laminate or hybrid?
Laminate is usually warmer underfoot and cheaper; hybrid handles water better. For wet areas choose hybrid, for bedrooms laminate is often the smarter spend.
