Laminate Flooring in Newbridge
Laminate flooring is an exceptionally common choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A comparatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly increased in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of artificial 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 lastly covered with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that may include almost any image, it comes in a huge array of different styles 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 may also include embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a number of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, choose one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively easy 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 precise dimensions, as well as difficult to ensure that the right underlay and damp proofing is installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to help you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it's installed to the best quality.
