Laminate Flooring in Corby
Laminate flooring is a very widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of synthetic 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 finally covered with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it is available in a wide selection of different looks to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range 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 perfect laminate for your home, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy 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 appropriate underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to help you on the perfect laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it's fitted to the best quality.
