Laminate Flooring in Chelmsford
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally common choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly increased in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of artificial 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 lastly protected with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that can include almost any image, it comes in a huge selection of different looks to mimic the aesthetics of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your house, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is rated 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 considerable 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 inform you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it's installed to the best quality.
