Just laid Balterio 'Pure Stone' laminate in the kitchen and that's fantastic, well happy with it.

As phill99 says, go with the better quality stuff, take a little bit of care in not leaving massive puddles over a joint and it'll be fine.

Can I ask where you got your Balterio laminate from ? We're wanting to put some down in our kitchen and not sure of the best place to buy it from, thanks

Has anyone used the tiled affect laminate flooring was thinking about putting some down in the bathroom.

Would it be suitable for that??

Interesting question. Last year I did exactly the opposite. I put down laminate effect tiles on the bathroom floor. Don't look too bad at all.

I've laid quite a lot of this in kitchen and bathrooms. Buy one from a decent manufacturer like Balterio or Kwikstep.

While not water proof, it has a higher level of water tolerance.

Totally agree, I had quick-step fitted last year, great looking floor. UF896 i think it was. I have heard they are opening a new quick-step floor training academy where you can use an accredited flooring installer and get a 2 year installation warranty. well worth it i think.

Laminate tiles have fairly come on but i dont like them that much to be honest.

I put it in bathroom about 3 yrs back - its ok for a quick fix but like others say its not watertight - if you go ahead make sure to have a mat over it as you step out of bath/shower and wipe any water up as soon as you can otherwise it will seep through the joints and you'll end up with ceilings below being affected. I'm hoping to move soon so won't be replacing it but definately will use proper tiles in my next place.
