Laminate Flooring in Mayfield
Laminate flooring is an extremely popular selection of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of synthetic composite flooring made up of several layers, usually 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 helps to protect the floor from scratches and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it comes in a huge range of different looks to mimic the appearance of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a variety of rooms, but be careful if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your property, select one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the quantity of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually 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 correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to advise you on the perfect laminate floor for your property, and guarantee that it is installed to the best quality.
