Laminate Flooring in Laurencekirk
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally popular choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of artificial 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 finally protected with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that can incorporate any kind of image, it comes in a wide variety of different effects to mimic the appearance of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may in addition include embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a wide range of rooms, but be careful if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the perfect laminate for your house, pick one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a large amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the ideal laminate floor for your room, and guarantee that it is fitted to the best quality.
