What is the best flooring?

We have the best of both worlds - Karndean in the bathrooms and kitchen and engineered oak through the hall/lounge/dining room. Karndean is brilliant in a wet environment, but too hard for living areas. (Yes, I know oak is 'hard' - but you know what I mean!)

Anyone recommend a stockist, colour and underlay? I'm assuming samples can be ordered of the flooring over the internet

+1 for LVT


We had made our minds up to go real wood then in the shop LVT was suggested and the benefits explained - I particularly liked the fact that you didn't need scotia round the edges as it could be butted and siliconed to the skirting board!



Long story short we went with a dark wood LVT and have had nothing but compliments on how great it looks - most people just think it's a dark oak real wood floor.


Quite pricey though!

Laminate is just as good as real wood if you find the right shop in my opinion. We have laminate and everyone assumes it is real wood until we tell them
