Laminate Flooring in Insch

Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of synthetic composite flooring made up of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core covered with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it is available in a wide variety 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 coating, it may also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a number 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 an appropriate 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 large amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to give you advice on the perfect laminate floor for your home, and ensure that it's installed to the highest quality.
