Advantages: easily installed, easy to clean

Disadvantages: might be called noisy neighbours if walking on it

I had my laminate flooring out in my flat about 5 years ago, we thought that it would be a fantastic idea for so many reasons. The first one being that we have two rather grubby little cats that leave alsorts of dirt and debris around the house and it was much easier to sweep up the cat hairs and dirt rather then getting the hoover out constantly. We also thought that is would be more allergenically sound as I have a dust mite allergy which as you can imagine can be a total nightmare with a carpetted house. We thought that the look suited our home and was much more practical than the carpet that was in situ. I think it cost us about 300-400 pounds to fully laminate our hallway, front room and smal bedroom. We did the front room and hallway with the interlocking variety of laminate flooring and the small bedroom with the glue together flooring. It took probably a morning to complete the whole flooring and the laying of the underlay with very little stress even with the glue together flooring which we were told could be a little difficult at times to manage. The floor looked fabulous and still does now, it is hardwearing and very easy to clean perfect for a busy lifestyle that many people now have. The down side however is that our downstair neighbours believe it to be a little noisy so the main throughfares have now been carpetted again much to my dislike.

Summary: laminated flooring perfect for the home maybe not flats with thin floors
