Laminate Flooring in East Linton
Laminate flooring is a very common choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a kind of artificial composite flooring made up of several layers, often with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that may include almost any image, it comes in a huge range of different effects to mimic the aesthetics of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a variety of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates 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 is often time consuming to install a sizable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the appropriate underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the perfect laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it is fitted to the highest quality.
