Laminate Flooring in Strathdon
Laminate flooring is an extremely popular selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and economical price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a kind of synthetic composite flooring consisting of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core coated 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 types of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that can incorporate almost any image, it is available in a wide array of different looks to mimic the looks of many other types of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other kinds of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a number of rooms, but be careful if you intend on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the right laminate for your home, decide on 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 substantial 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 can help you on the best laminate floor for your space, and guarantee that it is fitted to the highest quality.
