Flooring
Top Quality Builders (London): All types of floors:
Laminate flooring, hardwood flooring.
Choosing the type of floor that best fits your space is an
important step in planning the installation of your new floor. Before we can
begin the task of installation, you should give careful consideration to the
type of floor you want. Here are the main floor types:
Hardwood:
Hardwood flooring is available in both an unfinished and a
pre-finished version. Unfinished flooring must be job-site sanded and finished
after installation. Pre-finished flooring is sanded and finished at the factory
- so it only needs installation.
Strip/plank flooring:
- made of wood planks
Laminate:
Laminate flooring is typically constructed with a high density
fibre-board core, sandwiched between a melamine laminate backing, high quality
photographic paper with an image of wood, stone or other natural flooring, and a
melamine laminate top. There are a few new hybrid products that replace the
photographic paper with a very thin slice of real wood veneer.
One of the benefits of laminate over hardwoods is that
laminate flooring does not yellow or fade from sunlight or other elements. Most
stained wood floors will change colour over time. Unlike laminates, though, wood
floors can always be restored to their original beauty. On the other hand,
laminate floors never need wax or polish. Both hardwood floors and laminates can
be affected by excessive moisture, but it is only laminate flooring that can
really hold up to being put in a kitchen or bathroom. Rooms that get a lot of
moisture are not ideal for hardwoods. Finally, a special padding is required
under laminate floors to reduce the floor's potential for noise. Ultimately, the
decision to go with hardwood floors or laminate flooring is best made by
examining the best product for your personal needs.
