Laminate Flooring in Glasgow
Laminate flooring is a very widely used choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of man-made composite flooring composed of several layers, usually 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 protects the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may incorporate any sort of image, it is available in a huge array of different styles to mimic the looks of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it may in addition include embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a wide range of rooms, but be careful if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your house, decide on 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 not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a considerable 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 can inform you on the most suitable laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it's fitted to the best quality.
