No I think you should use vinyl.

I thought that's what he meant anyway.
I did'nt realise you could still buy the old linoleum stuff,(that cracked and faded and went all brittle,LOL).
I love the fact you have a duck,I would think they'd make a lovely pet.

It's not that i don't fancy laminate it just that............... no laughing please :rotfl:, i have an duck who lives indoors and he's ruining the carpet and i'm worried about laminate getting wet and expanding :eek:.

I had a friend who had two ducks (Indian runners or something like that) , she let them come in the house, but as no doubt you are already aware they do not house train very well. I think my friend had laminate flooring in the lounge but vinyl down in most other rooms.

Go for the vinyl.
It looks nicer for a lot longer than lino will with prolonged wear.
You will get nicks here and there but it'll still be better than lino.

If you get "nicks" in vinyl it shows up as white - if you get nicks in lino it doesn't show as lino is coloured all the way through - unlike vinyl.

That is why lino is becoming popular again.

To be honest I would restrict the range of the duck, and not adapt my house to it. It can't be that nice having a smooth living room floor that sometimes has pools of caustic duck excrement on it. And it cannot be sanitary. Still, if you will let the tail wag the dog ...

If you were to unstaple your ears you would see that lino is now actually available in other colours/patterns than plain brown...........:rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks angelsmomma, I'm glad you don't think me odd . I also have 8 hens who come in on the odd occations but they live outside in the garden and henhouse at night .

I also want to go for a good quality one that was wood style and maybe get a rug. Would you say they are cold compared to having carpet down?

Thanks

I did not find it cold and the children didn't seem to mind. I did have rugs down for the babies though.

I have wood effect vynil cushionfloor stuff in my conservatory, it's got grooves and ridges and knots in 3D just like real wood. Which is more than most laminate has.
It's perfect for dogs with wet and muddy feet. Haven't tried it out with duck
