Laminate Flooring in Dalbeattie
Laminate flooring is a very common selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable 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 consisting of several layers, usually with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly covered with a wear layer that protects the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may incorporate any type of image, it is available in a huge array of different effects to mimic the appearance of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a number of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the right laminate for your property, pick 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 because of its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a substantial amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact size, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the most suitable laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it's installed to the best quality.
