Laminate Flooring in Bungay

Laminate flooring is an extremely popular choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly increased in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of artificial composite flooring made up of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may include any kind of image, it comes in a wide variety of different looks to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it can also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a wide range 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, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a large amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, 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 give you advice on the ideal laminate floor for your space, and ensure that it is installed to the best quality.
