Laminate Flooring in Dunbartonshire
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally common selection of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, usually with a fibreboard core topped with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that may include any type of image, it is available in a huge range of different effects 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 layer, it may in addition include embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a wide range of rooms, but be careful if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, select 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 not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a considerable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to help you on the ideal laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it's fitted to the best quality.
