Laminate Flooring in Shetland Islands
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used choice of flooring because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has quickly grown in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic composite flooring consisting of several layers, often 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 helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor incorporates a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it comes in a wide variety of different effects to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may also feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other forms of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, choose one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the quantity of traffic the laminate is ranked to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is often time consuming to install a sizable 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 advise you on the most appropriate laminate floor for your property, and guarantee that it's fitted to the highest quality.
