Laminate Flooring in Harleston
Laminate flooring is a very popular choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical 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 type of artificial composite flooring made up of several layers, often with a fibreboard core topped 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 may incorporate any kind of image, it comes in a wide selection 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 also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range of rooms, but be careful if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your property, pick 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 can be 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 appropriate underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to inform you on the ideal laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it is installed to the best quality.
