Laminate Flooring in Askam-in-furness

Laminate flooring is an exceptionally widely used selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A comparatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a variety of man-made composite flooring consisting of several layers, often 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 scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can include almost any image, it comes in a wide variety 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 may also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a number of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, decide on one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a substantial amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the appropriate underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the perfect laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it's fitted to the best quality.
