Laminate Flooring in Marlow
Laminate flooring is a very common selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of artificial composite flooring consisting of several layers, often with a fibreboard core coated 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 incorporates a decorative layer that can include any sort of image, it comes in a huge variety 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 also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the quantity of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of 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 right underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can help you on the most suitable laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it's fitted to the best quality.
