Smart and Durable Flooring Materials

So you need to invest in new flooring? There will be all kinds of people out there who will give you advice on the options available to you. These options include laying carpets, wood — solid, engineered and laminated, vinyls, carpet tiles and vinyl tiling. You can rest assured that the most reliable flooring companies in St. Neots will tell you to invest in flooring which is durable rather than showy. And, just because something is durable does not preclude its being smart. Look for the kind of companies that have learnt how to look after customers and tailor their requirements so that everyone is 100% satisfied with the end result. They should also be the kind who avoid those irritating contractor cliché’s like the plague and get listed on the ‘Safe Local Trades’ website.

Before you take a decision, stand back and consider the use and placement of the flooring. Offices and business outlets require flooring that will have a different kind of traffic compared to a bedroom or hall in a home. 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. In most cases the laminate is finished off with a polyurethane covering, which is a protective layer that will stop the wood surface from being scratched, making it especially desirable in a home with young children. Laminate wood is not recommended for kitchens or washrooms, but is an excellent option for all other uses in the home and office. 

When you look for laminate flooring in Cambridge, ask for laminated flooring that is fitted on a good quality sound-proofed underlay. The different ranges should come with matching trims such as door bars, skirting boards, scotia, pipe covers and other edging. Laminate comes in a wide range of prices and styles, such as a full plank effect, a two or three strip effect and also one that looks like a ceramic tile effect board which can transform the reception area. You will probably find that the company you are dealing with can offer you the most appropriate advice.
