Parquet floors, wooden panels, and wooden ceiling beams are things most homeowners gravitate towards to add a heavy dose of warmth and rustic charm to their homes. But unless you have extremely deep pockets, laminates are the next best thing that will help you achieve the same final outcome without blowing your reno budget through the roof.
But laminates are not limited to just the wood grain variety. From metal and marble to embossed fabrics, here are 8 best laminate suppliers in Singapore that’ll give you high-SES on a low budget.
1. APOD – One-of-a-kind customisable laminates

If you can dream it, APOD is one company that will turn that visual into a reality by custom printing a laminate for you. Rather than having you flip through their catalogue, APOD offers a custom printing service for surfaces from Medium-density fibre (MDF) and plywood to particle board.
Each laminate is made to order and it only takes a short 3 weeks for the final product to be delivered to you.

For homes with larger surfaces, such as a loft apartment or HDB, getting a seamless continuous pattern for a laminate can be challenging, especially if you’re dealing with multiple laminate sheets.
But with EDL, this is no longer a worry as they have laminates which range from solids, wood, marble, stone, and patterns up to 10ft long. This means that no matter how high or long the surface is, you can match your walls to whatever theme your home is, be it Japandi, contemporary, luxe or minimalist.

The brand also offers a handful of state-of-the-art laminates, such as their Aptico collection, which touts the novelty of being scratch, fingerprint and abrasion-resistant thanks to its thermal repair properties.

While the majority of the shops in this feature have unique selling points in terms of the products they offer, Lam Chuan’s speciality lies in the sheer variety of laminates they have in their catalogue.
Besides the more common designs spanning patterns, woods, solids, and even leather, Lam Chuan also carries postform laminates – a type of laminate that is thinner, more malleable, and less pricey than its laminate counterparts.

Nestled in the heart of Singapore but with stores all over Asia, Lamitak embodies the essence of minimalist design through its huge collection of minimalist-inspired laminates.
Besides just looking aesthetically pleasing, homeowners would be glad to know that their laminates are long-lasting, scratch-proof, environmentally friendly and resistant to bacteria, justifying why Lamitak has been a go-to brand for local interior designers.
For fans of neutral colours and more simplistic interior home designs, there are plenty of options, including solid colours, rocks, chalk or wood, all of which they’ve compiled into a catalogue.

In addition to their more low-key designs, Lamitak also has offerings suitable for a more eclectic decor. For example, their laminates with colourful terrazzo or geometrical shapes would make for a really good feature wall.

7. Neufloor – Specialises in wooden panelling

While laminates with wooden-panelled designs are relatively common, it’s rare to see a supplier specialise specifically in this style. However, this is precisely what Neufloor has done with its wide selection of wood panelling designs for floors such as timber and oak.
What sets their laminates aside is their durability and quality, which is pretty hard to dispute as they even offer a 12-month workmanship warranty on all orders.
On top of that, Neufloor also offers a guarantee for abrasions and stains, as well as termite resistance – applicable for life for residential properties and 5 years for commercial properties.

One thing to note is that the brand does have mixed customer reviews, with the negative ones revolving around Neufloor’s $100 site visit. While some past customers have said this initial consultation fee is worth it, others claim it’s unnecessary.
Address: 158 Kallang Way, #01-511 Performance Building, Singapore 349245
Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 8.30am–5.30pm | Sat 8.30am-12.30pm (Closed on Sundays)

In addition to their appealing appearance, the laminates also feature fingerprint-resistant finishes and intricate debossing on textured surfaces, so you can truly have a unique set of laminates that even works for homes with kids or pets.
