Floors That Are Durable and Clean


Everyone wants flooring that looks awesome and takes care of itself. If you want the kind of flooring that scores highly on looks and is easy on the pocket, then vinyl flooring in Peterborough is one of your best options. Good quality laminate has a realistic effect, similar to real wood flooring. Just make sure that it is fit on a good quality sound-proofed underlay. Look for the kind of supplier who will offer you all the different ranges with matching trims such as door bars, skirting boards, scotia, pipe covers and other edging. Using cheap DIY quality laminated wood is a false economy, since it will scratch and dent easily unlike the better quality ones.

The polyurethane covering on laminates ensures that the wooden surface does not get scratched. Laminate flooring is made from both synthetic and genuine wood materials, which are pressed together using high-pressure to make for a really hardwearing and durable flooring surface. Laminate flooring is now so good in appearance that you cannot tell it apart from real hardwood. The only clue is the price — laminate flooring is far less expensive than real wood with more color choices. To keep it sparkling, sweep the floor regularly to remove dust or debris. For small spillages, use a soft cloth as soon as possible after it occurs. 

On the other hand, if you don’t want to settle for anything less than wooden & laminate flooring in Cambs, then you should clean up and level the sub floor before installation. That will not only strengthen it, but also keep away moisture. If you must install wooden flooring in an area where moisture is likely, then you can laminate the hardwood. As flooring is subject to intense wear and tear, it is recommended to choose dark colors such as Brazilian Cherry, Thick sawn face and African chestnut. With wooden flooring you enjoy the advantage that it will look better with the years as grains emerge and tones deepen. So, if you want a clear, durable, scratch proof and smooth floor, then take your pick between laminate and wooden flooring.
