Laminate Flooring in Scunthorpe
Laminate flooring is a very common choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A comparatively recent addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic composite flooring composed of several layers, usually with a fibreboard core topped 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 types of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that may include any type of image, it comes in a huge range of different styles to mimic the appearance of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it may in addition feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is well suited for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate will have to be used. When choosing the best laminate for your property, pick one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the amount 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 is usually time consuming to install a huge amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the exact size, 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 inform you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it is fitted to the best quality.
