Laminate Flooring in Ipswich
Laminate flooring is an extremely common choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively recent addition to the market, laminate has quickly grown in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a variety of artificial composite flooring composed of several layers, typically 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 scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that may include any sort of image, it is available in a huge variety of different styles to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a number of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the perfect laminate for your home, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is ranked 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 can give you advice on the ideal laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it is fitted to the best quality.
