Laminate Flooring in Juniper Green
Laminate flooring is a very common choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of man-made composite flooring consisting of several layers, generally 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 contains a decorative layer that can include any type of image, it comes in a huge range of different styles to mimic the looks of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the perfect laminate for your house, pick one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a sizable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to advise you on the ideal laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it's installed to the highest quality.
