Laminate Flooring in Morayshire
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally popular choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly increased in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of artificial composite flooring composed of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly covered with a wear layer that protects the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it comes in a wide selection of different styles to mimic the aesthetics of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it may also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a variety 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 ideal laminate for your home, pick one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a huge 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 installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can give you advice on the best laminate floor for your room, and ensure that it's fitted to the best quality.
