Laminate Flooring in Alloa
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly expanded in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a kind of man-made composite flooring composed of several layers, typically with a fibreboard core topped with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally covered with a wear layer that protects the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may incorporate any kind of image, it comes in a huge array of different effects to mimic the aesthetics of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a variety of rooms, but be careful if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the right laminate for your house, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the quantity of traffic the laminate is ranked to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a substantial amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to help you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it's installed to the highest quality.
