Sophisticated Urban Living: Supreme Hydro Manhattan Oak
Elevate your interior design with the cool, contemporary tones of the Supreme Hydro Manhattan Oak from Balterio. Inspired by the chic, airy lofts of New York, this light oak laminate floor is the perfect foundation for a modern Irish home. At Floorstore Direct, we have earned our reputation as the best place in Ireland to buy laminate flooring by offering premium collections that combine metropolitan style with the rugged durability needed for local life.
The Manhattan Oak decor features a soft, pale palette with subtle grey undertones, designed to maximize natural light and create a sense of expansive space. As a standout in the Balterio flooring range, it offers a “True-to-Nature” finish, meaning the texture you feel underfoot perfectly aligns with the visual grain, providing an authentic wood experience without the high-maintenance demands of real timber.
HydroShield Technology: 100% Water Resistant Performance
In an Irish household, a floor needs to be more than just beautiful; it needs to be “life-proof.” The Supreme Hydro range is specifically engineered to handle the spills and splashes of a busy home.
- HydroShield Protection: This floor features a 100% water-resistant surface. The joints are precision-milled and protected, preventing water from seeping into the core for up to 24 hours. This makes Manhattan Oak an ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
- AC4 Abrasion Rating: Certified for heavy domestic and general commercial use, this 8mm laminate is built to resist scratches from pets, high heels, and the constant movement of furniture.
-
8mm Stability: The 8mm HDF core provides excellent structural integrity while maintaining a slim profile that is perfect for renovation projects where door clearance is a concern.

Ask a Question
1. Is "Water Resistant" laminate safe for a main bathroom? Yes. Thanks to Balterio’s HydroShield technology, the Supreme Hydro Manhattan Oak is designed to withstand standing water for up to 24 hours. While we don't recommend it for inside a shower cubicle, it is perfectly suited for bathroom floors where splashes and high humidity are common.
2. Does the "Light Oak" colour show dirt more easily than darker floors? Actually, light oak is one of the most practical colours for a busy home. While very dark floors tend to highlight every speck of dust and pet hair, the multi-tonal grain of Manhattan Oak naturally camouflages light debris, keeping your room looking cleaner for longer between sweeps.
3. Can I install this floor over an existing tiled surface? Yes, provided the tiles are level and firmly bonded. Because the Manhattan Oak is an 8mm board, it is thin enough to avoid creating a large "step" between rooms, making it an excellent choice for modernizing an old tiled kitchen or hallway without the mess of ripping up the original floor.
Recommended Underlay
The underlay you choose for your new floor can be just as important as the floor itself as this is what will determine the feel and noise level under your foot. Furthermore if you have underfloor heating, the underlay you choose will determine the level of heat conductivity with some underlays allowing for a quicker heat transfer than others. Because of this, getting the right underlay is hugely important. You can view our entire underlay collection here.
Fitting Guidelines
In order for your new floor to perform to the best of its ability we advise using a skilled, professional fitter for the installation of your new floor. Prior to installation your floor must be checked to ensure it is level and free from moisture. Should there be any issues with this our levelling compounds and damp proof membranes are available here. It is vitally important, in particular with a floating floor that you do not fit any heavy objects (Such as fitted kitchens or islands) directly to the floor. An installation gap of 10-12mm must also be left around all 4 sides of the room including at doorways. Please refer to manufacturers guidelines for full installation instructions.
Cleaning & Maintenance Guide
The cleaning and maintenance of our Balterio laminate floor is pretty much the same as with all Laminate Flooring. A sweep of a brush is all it should take to remove light dirt from your floor. For mopping, it is important you use a damp mop rather than a wet mop. If your floor is too wet, over time it may cause issues from water penetrating the joints. We advise the use of a PH neutral floor cleaner to ensure no damage to the floor. Also a spin mop or micro fibre mop should ensure the floor is not being overly wet.
