A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly increased in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of synthetic 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 lastly protected with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may include any sort of image, it comes in a wide range of different effects to mimic the looks of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it can also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used.

Specialist flooring companies will be able to help you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your space, and ensure that it's fitted to the best quality.
