Laminate Flooring in Lanark
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly increased in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic composite flooring made up of several layers, often with a fibreboard core covered with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly covered with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may incorporate any sort of image, it comes in a huge range of different effects to mimic the aesthetics of many other styles of flooring 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 styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, decide on one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a huge 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 space, and ensure that it's fitted to the highest quality.
