Laminate Flooring in Perth
Laminate flooring is a very common selection of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A comparatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly increased in popularity as a replacement for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of man-made composite flooring made up of several layers, generally 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 scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that may include any sort of image, it comes in a wide selection of different effects to mimic the appearance of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top coating, it may in addition feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for 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 right laminate for your house, decide on one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is graded to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a substantial 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 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 highest quality.
