Hi,

I am trying to determine which brand of laminate to use. There is one
company that only sells Quick Step and say that for long lasting laminate
and ease of installation, they should be the only ones to use.

Their main plugs are that most laminates are pretty good on the surface, but
its where it joins which is where it is weak thus reducing the life of the
laminate. Quick Step not only has a pioneering way of for ease of clicking
in the laminates together, but also ensure that you cannot feel or see where
the laminates connect and there is also a layer of wax between the laminates
to reduce problems with water getting in the cracks if for any reason this
does happen.

They also mentioned that B&Q fell out with Quick Step.

Basically, I want to know whether others recommend the Quick Step brand and
are they much better above the others sold by B&Q etc. Also, anyone know
why B&Q stop selling Quick Step?

Finally, I notice that B&Q divides its laminates to categorise some for
better hard wearing living room use and others that are more waterproof for
bathroom use. All the Quick Step ones seem to have no problems wherever you
lay them down - is this a sign of quality or arrogance?

Thanx
