Laminate Flooring in Motherwell
Laminate flooring is an extremely common choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively recent 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 man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, often 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 types of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may include any sort of image, it comes in a huge variety of different effects 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 can also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a number of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the ideal laminate for your house, select one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is rated to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it can be 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 appropriate underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to inform you on the most suitable laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it's fitted to the best quality.
