Laminate Flooring in Kingussie
Laminate flooring is an extremely common choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a variety of man-made composite flooring consisting of several layers, typically 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 forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that may include almost any image, it is available in a huge variety of different effects to mimic the looks of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it may in addition feature 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 should be used. When choosing the best laminate for your property, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, 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 sizable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact size, 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 give you advice on the ideal laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it's installed to the best quality.
