Laminate Flooring in Brockenhurst
Laminate flooring is a very popular choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of man-made composite flooring consisting of several layers, usually with a fibreboard core covered with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can incorporate any kind of image, it is available in a wide range of different styles to mimic the looks 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 forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your property, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a sizable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to advise you on the most suitable laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it is fitted to the best quality.
