Laminate Flooring in Longniddry
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has quickly grown in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, typically 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 helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may incorporate any type of image, it is available in a wide selection of different looks to mimic the aesthetics of many other styles 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 suitable for a number of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is ranked to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a huge amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can inform you on the perfect laminate floor for your space, and ensure that it is fitted to the best quality.
