Laminate Flooring in Stockton-on-tees
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used choice of flooring due to 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 floors. Laminate flooring is a variety of man-made composite flooring composed of several layers, often with a fibreboard core topped with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally protected 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 may include any type of image, it is available in a wide array 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 layer, it may also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, pick one with an appropriate Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this specificies the quantity of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a considerable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can advise you on the most suitable laminate floor for your property, and ensure that it is installed to the highest quality.
