Laminate Flooring in Leigh
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally common selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly increased in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a variety of synthetic composite flooring composed 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 protects the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may incorporate any kind of image, it is available in a wide range of different looks to mimic the aesthetics of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it can also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a wide range of rooms, but be careful if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your house, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is rated 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 precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the most suitable laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it is installed to the highest quality.
