Laminate Flooring in Isle Of Gigha
Laminate flooring is a very popular selection of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, generally 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 protects the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may incorporate any type of image, it is available in a wide variety of different looks to mimic the aesthetics of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a variety 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 an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is rated 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 huge amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can give you advice on the most appropriate laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it's installed to the best quality.
