Default HELP-Best Laminate Floor

Can any of the subscribers recommend a good hard wearing laminate
flooring please. Is there any brands or methods of making it less clip
- cloppy ?????

Many Thanks.

Rick.

I used this stuff,,

http://www.quick-step.com/

It works well for me and it is better than a lot of the cheap stuff
you see in the sheds which doesnt wear well and has dodgy joints!

Seconded!

We've got Quick Step upstairs which looks great, and Velocity
downstairs which looks considerably less than great - could be due in
part to the cowboy fitters.

For a decent result both in terms of look and noise, you need to pay a
lot of attention to getting the subfloor quiet and level (eg no
creaking/loose floorboards, no hollows) then I would recommend fitting
the thicker denser type underlay.

Hard wearing I don't know, but less clip-cloppy, have a look at
http://www.junckers.co.uk/

This isn't laminate, it's solid real wood flooring. I think their
minimum thickness boards are 14mm. Not cheap though.

Looks and feels a beauty. Some ridiculous guarantee period. I would
guess you can sand/laquer a zillion times if needed.

We have a fair few metres of it here, laid a couple of years ago. Still
looks and feels like a quality floor.

Use solid or engineered wood, not laminate.

Mine isn't bouncy or echo'ey.
