Laminate Flooring ... while offering easy installation and lasting durability. At first glance, it can be difficult to spot the difference between hardwoods and laminate flooring. What appears to be a natural wood grain pattern is really a thin layer of decor paper (a photographic image) under a tough-as-nails protective film that is glued and pressed to a high-density backing board. Laminate flooring comes in an array of wood effects as well as stone and ceramic effects. Laminate floorings main advantages are that it is easy to install is very hardwearing and relatively inexpensive compared to real hardwood flooring. Laminate flooring is a floating floor, which means it does not fasten directly to the sub-floor. Instead the planks are clicked together. This enables the floor to be fitted fast and with no real mess. You can walk on you laminate flooring straight away.

 ... befiore laying laminate is whether or not you're going to lay it under the skirting boards or next to the skirting board, leaving an expansion gap. Laying it under the skirting is more aesthetically pleasing as you don't have to put loads of beading (thin laminate strips) over the expansion gaps. I opted to lay it under the skirting boards and attempted to pull some of the skirting off. This proved to be a huge mistake as the thing all came off in bits and it became apparent that I'd be there all day trying to get it o...more

Laminate Flooring: B&Q Tilelock (77 words)
by Ian - written on 28/07/07
Rating:

B&Q Tilelock laminate is the worst laminate flooring I have ever tried to lay. It is impossible to get the joints nice and flush and I spent almost an hour trying to fit one board neatly, without success. The boards had bends in them down the locking edge, making it impossible to join them. I gave up after 5 hours and took the unopened packs back to B@Q for a refund. Don't buy this ...  Read the complete review

**Warning it's a long one! With three messy children and one on the way our not so old carpet was looking a little worn out and well fed by our toddler John who like to feed everything but his mouth. When the over stopped doing it's job on John's ground in waffles it was time to find the perfect solution, no not evict the children, evict the carpet. After browsing through some of the DIY stores online we found it 'laminate flooring'. It met all the criteria for our needs on those of our children. Cost: Carpet: When pricing up carpet at today's prices for our room (13ft x 15ft) it would have cost around ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Laminate Flooring: How To Avoid Carpet Burns. (855 words)

Afew months ago we finally got round to ripping out the nasty old carpet in our lounge, and painted the walls a lovely reddy / orange colour. We'd been saving hard ( Ahem, ok, hubby got his redundancy payout from Parcelforce ) and finally it was time to choose my dream carpet. Hubby then chose to announce his plan...to laminate our living room floor. Many arguements ( sorry Jimmy, discussions ) later, I caved in. Hubby had done his research. How could I argue against hubby when he was armed with so many reasons that carpet was an unsuitable choice for people with a lifestyle like ours. Jimmy : " Dustmites live in carpets. They contribute ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Lovely looking flooring but can be a pain to fit (1279 words)
by - written on 19/10/09 (Very useful, 123 readings)

Laminate flooring is an engineered hard flooring designed to look and feel like real wood. It comes in planks about 25-30cm wide, about 150cm long and about 6mm deep. Most laminate has a click system whereby you should be able to simply click the planks together, however some laminate requires glue. Costs can vary widely depending on the type of laminate you want and its appearance, however you should expect to pay at least £8 per square metre (I paid £17 per metre square which tells you how much it can cost) Last month I decided to put a laminate down in my hallway. I have been a big fan of laminate in the past, although I have never lived with it, and always ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Laminate Flooring: Aqualoc+ - good quality and value (384 words)
by - written on 15/09/09 (Very useful, 217 readings)
Rating:

At the weekend we had our kitchen flooring changed from vinyl to laminate flooring. We spent a good deal of time uhmming and ahhing over whether this would be a good thing or not and finally decided to give it a go. After researching various types on the internet we decided that we needed to lay a floor which would be moisture resistant as we planned on leaving it down for a substantial period of time. A trip to the local big chain DIY store (who just happened to have 15% off everything at that point :>) and we were surprised by the ranges available. After perusing all the options we plumped for AquaLOC+ Moisture Resistant by ...  Read the complete review
