Laminate Flooring in Ongar
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a kind of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, generally 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 types of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that can incorporate any sort of image, it is available in a huge range 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 layer, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a sizable 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 installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to advise you on the ideal laminate floor for your property, and guarantee that it's installed to the best quality.
