Laminate Flooring in West Bromwich
Laminate flooring is a very widely used choice of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and affordable price. A relatively new addition to the market, laminate has rapidly increased in popularity as an alternative for real wood or stone flooring. Laminate flooring is a type of synthetic composite flooring composed of several layers, generally 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 helps to protect the floor from scratches and other types of damage. Because laminate floor contains a decorative layer that may include any type of image, it is available in a huge selection of different styles to mimic the looks of many other flooring materials like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor features a smooth top coating, it may in addition feature embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is ideal for a variety of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on fitting it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate must be used. When choosing the best laminate for your property, pick one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) ranking, as this designates the amount of traffic the laminate is ranked to perform well under. Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install due to its snap or click together design. However, it can be time consuming to install a large 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 installed to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies will be able to give you advice on the perfect laminate floor for your space, and ensure that it is fitted to the best quality.
