Advantages: really easy to fit

Disadvantages: is not the cheapest

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 Floormaster.

The packaging clearly stated it was ideal for Kitchens, Bathroom and Utility Rooms - which it classed as Splash Areas - so we were reassured.
Also on the packaging was a handy guide of how much you would need. It detailed that the pack covered 1.48SQM and each board was 12mm x 192mm x 1285mm. From this we could work out that we needed to buy 9 packs.

This particular flooring also comes with a 20 year guarantee if you use it on a domestic area and 10 year guarantee if it is for commercial usage. It does not require glue and the boards click together.

As my husband and I had never laid laminate flooring before we opted to have someone else do it for us, however the packaging has quite comprehensive instructions on the reverse which if you were determined to give it a go yourself would probably be sufficient to aid in your labours.

We opted for the beech effect as we have a beech effect kitchen and it matches well.

The overall finish of this flooring is excellent, with a nice even colour and the joins are barely visible - in fact in some areas you would not even know there were joins. I am really pleased we opted for this brand and would highly recommend it to other people. It is not the cheapest by any means, the packs retailed for £22.17 each but it will be in my kitchen for many years to come so I consider it to be a good investment.

Summary: Glad I choose this one.
