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. -- Someone |
