Does anyone have any experiences with "Dream Home" laminate floor, apparantly manufactured
by Bellawood and sold by Lumber Liquidators?

They have 3 lines ...

Utopia (6mm thick, 10 yr warranty)
Charisma (7mm, 20 yr, w/ pre-glued 3mm sound proof foam underlay attached)
Nirvana (8mm, 25 yr, w/ the same 3mm foam underlay)

They also sell a foam-type of underlayment that they say is a moisture barrier. Would you
use that as well as the pre-attached foam underlay (thereby making a fairly "bouncy"
floor, I would think), or would you just put plastic down first as a moisture barrier?
This would be installed on a concrete slab.

Thanks

Not me. I've just seen the ads.

What does the Bella people say to do? I put down a Mannington engineered
wood floor over concrete slap. You need the foam backed moisture barrier to
do it. No, it does not make it bouncy at all. It has been down a year this
month and is in great shape. I'd do it again.
