Laminate Flooring in Barrow-upon-humber

Laminate flooring is an extremely common choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly grown in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, usually with a fibreboard core topped with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly covered with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can include any sort of image, it is available in a huge selection of different styles to mimic the appearance of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it may also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a number of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your house, decide on one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is ranked 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 large amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the ideal laminate floor for your room, and guarantee that it is installed to the best quality.
