Laminate flooring is a type of "floating floor" that typically has pre-finished timber veneer deposited over a plywood base. It can be laid over an underlay and installed over a flat and hard surface. Such a surface can be a cost-effective flooring solution because they are precisely measured and can easily be installed with minimum effort. There has been a surge recently for this type of flooring as they look quite glossy and the maintenance involved in them is also fairly cheap.
We look at some other reasons to find out why this type of flooring is desired by a lot of people in the area.
- The installation of the flooring is easy - A laminate flooring in Sutherland Shire may come in groove and tongue planks that can be easily connected to one another. There can be a glue backing for easy installation and therefore, it can be easily installed with the least effort. It typically floats over a sub-floor so that there are sufficient sound and moisture-eliminating properties. A small gap is usually left between the flooring and the rigid underlying surface so that they can expand during the summer season without any obstruction. Baseboards are removed and reinstalled after floor laying to get a clean finishing and then at the edges, saw cuts are made on the plank to get a neat look.
- Less care is needed to maintain it - A laminate flooring is mostly made from a medium density fiber body so that it has a good scratch resistance. Alternately, they may also come with adhesive felt pads so that the feet of furniture may not scratch against the surface and stay firm. Dirt, sand and dust particles generally do not settle on laminate flooring and just wiping them off can be enough to keep it clean. If water spillage is wiped out quickly, then there will not be any warping or swelling of planks. However, water-resistant coatings are also available for these types of floorings.
- There are many types of choices - You can expect many types of laminate flooring options as there are many available Australian Hardwoods like Blackbutt, Red Mahogany, and Spotted Gum. There are many types of Redifloor options from different timber variants of Asia and Europe. They are all available in different textures, sizes, and production techniques so that the best can be selected as per a choice.
- They are very hygienic and safe - A laminate flooring in Sutherland Shire is generally made from a compound of formaldehyde that is known as melamine resin and is considered safe for use. Therefore, it does not have any potential health issue and also offers fewer emissions. It is a hygienic option as dust, dirt, and mites may not settle easily on them.
