Laminate Flooring in Lewes
Laminate flooring is an extremely popular choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly grown in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a kind of artificial composite flooring composed of several layers, often with a fibreboard core coated 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 forms of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may include any type of image, it is available in a huge array of different looks to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top layer, it may in addition feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a number of rooms, but be careful if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the perfect laminate for your house, decide on one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a considerable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the perfect laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it's fitted to the best quality.
