Balterio Restretto Laminate Flooring – FAQs

What is Balterio Restretto Laminate Flooring?

Balterio Restretto is an 8 mm water-resistant laminate flooring range featuring narrow, wood-effect planks (approx. 1380 × 156 mm). It’s designed to bring a refined, linear aesthetic to interiors while offering practical performance for everyday use.

What design styles and wood looks are available in the Restretto range?

The Restretto collection includes a variety of natural wood-effect designs, from classic oak tones to richer walnut and chestnut looks. The narrower boards and four-sided V-groove help create a visually interesting, linear floor pattern that suits both contemporary and traditional UK interiors.

What performance features does Balterio Restretto laminate offer?

Restretto uses HydroShield water-resistant technology to help prevent moisture ingress at the joints, and Scratch Protect surface reinforcement for enhanced resistance to scratches and everyday wear — making it suitable for busy households.

Can Balterio Restretto be installed with underfloor heating?

Yes. Restretto laminate is compatible with water-based underfloor heating systems when installed according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring a stable and comfortable floor surface.

Where is Restretto best used around the home?

Thanks to its water-resistant finish and durability, Balterio Restretto is suitable for most interior spaces including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and kitchens. It can even perform well in bathrooms when spills are wiped up promptly.

Does the Restretto range help make rooms feel larger?

The narrow plank format and linear grain direction can visually elongate spaces, making rooms appear wider or longer depending on how the boards are laid — an advantage in hallways and open-plan areas.

What type of maintenance does Balterio Restretto require?

Routine care involves regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and grit, with occasional damp mopping using laminate-safe cleaners. Avoid prolonged standing water and abrasive chemicals to protect the surface and seams.
