Laminate Flooring in Lechlade
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of synthetic composite flooring consisting 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 can incorporate any kind of image, it is available in a wide selection of different styles to mimic the appearance of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may in addition have embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your house, choose one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is ranked 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 large amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can give you advice on the best laminate floor for your space, and ensure that it is fitted to the best quality.
