Laminate Flooring in Telford

Laminate flooring is a kind of man-made composite flooring composed of several layers, typically with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then finally protected with a wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor features a decorative layer that may incorporate any kind of image, it comes in a wide variety 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 layer, it can also have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suited to a variety of rooms, but be careful if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used.
