Laminate type flooring - but with texture to it?

Is there such a thing?

I really want laminate type tiles for our dining room but havent found much about that would be suitable. We have two (very young) children and I need something that wouldnt cause them to slip too much.

I've found one that I like - Alloc - but its so expensive! I need to get down to around £20 a metre square for our budget.

Any ideas MSE's?

    Hello, I have a homebase floorboard-effect laminate, which has a texture to it - there are dips in between the boards and there is a slight wood texture to the planks. However, I would say that if you pad around in just socks, it can still be easy to slip on.
