You spent £38pm on plastic flooring?

You could have got High grade Solid oak for that much!

Plastic? Nothing in laminate is plastic.

Solid wood isn't always the best choice either, it depends on the situation.

I had solid wood in my last property. I chose Quickstep for this. I am very pleased with that I did. I find Quickstep more resistant to damage, durable and easier to maintain.

We've just ordered Moderna flooring which is apparently idenitical to Quick step as it's the same uniloc system. It has a 25 yr guarantee too. Looks as good as solid wood in my opinion.

Just a thought, what are you putting underneath it?

We had the green fibre boards under the laminate in the last house and the glued together laminate on top.

This house has the expanded foam sheeting underneath and the click together laminate, the stuff in the old house was tons better.

When we do another room it will be the green fibreboard beneath and glue together laminate.
