Laminate Wood Flooring

Laminate flooring is one of the most popular flooring options in the UK today and possibly the most common choice for those trying to achieve the appearance of a real wood floor. This easy-to-fit method is very simple to obtain, transport and maintain for an extremely competitive price. 

If you’re not a carpet lover but yearn for quality ground beneath your feet then look no further than laminate flooring. Fulfil your desire for the grandeur radiated by real wood flooring, without breaking the bank.

What, Why & Benefits

 

Laminate flooring gives the impression of real wood but is not actually made from any solid wood material at all. A photographic image of the style of wood you desire is produced and stuck on top of a board constructed of pressed fibres. This is then covered in a melamine wear layer to provide support and toughness to the plank.

To put it simply, the whole process simply involves pasting a photographic image of wood onto fibreboard, before being laminated for strength and stability. This makes this particular type of flooring very easy to clean and not as easily scraped as real wood flooring. 

 

The variety of colours, styles and sizes of laminate flooring available to you is incredible and at Forest Hills Flooring we display on the best in terms of price and quality. As the appearance of this material is provided by a photographic image, the choice of what to display is completely down to you. Oftentimes, the superb quality of laminate flooring makes it difficult to tell the difference between real solid wood.

This method of flooring is particularly useful for DIY lovers of developers alike, as the tongue and groove connections make it incredibly easy to install.

 

Laminate flooring is ideal for crowded houses or those with big families as it is easy to maintain and look after. Carpets and other materials can wear away gradually over time due to the general wear and tear of being walked on. Laminate flooring is extremely strong and resilient, meaning once it is down you have nothing else to worry about apart from the occasional sweep!

There is no need for glue or any nails so finances are untouched during the installation process and once down laminate flooring is a lot more hygienic than carpet.
