Laminate Flooring in Folkestone
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly increased in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a kind of artificial composite flooring composed of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core covered with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that may include any type of image, it comes in a huge range of different looks to mimic the aesthetics of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may in addition feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a number of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your house, choose one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a huge 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 installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to give you advice on the ideal laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it's installed to the best quality.
