Laminate Flooring in Wemyss Bay
Laminate flooring is an extremely popular choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has quickly expanded in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic composite flooring made up of several layers, often with a fibreboard core coated with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other forms of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that may include any kind of image, it is available in a wide variety of different styles to mimic the looks of many other styles 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 styles of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you intend on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the best laminate for your home, select one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the amount of traffic the laminate is graded 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 considerable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise dimensions, 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 perfect laminate floor for your home, and guarantee that it is fitted to the best quality.
