Laminate Flooring in Dundee
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 quickly expanded in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring consisting 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 forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can include almost any image, it comes in a huge selection of different looks to mimic the looks of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may in addition 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 plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your home, decide on one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually 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 room, and guarantee that it's fitted to the highest quality.
