Advantages: Cheap, nice appearance. Disadvantages: Some boards not cut perfectly straight so tricky to fit.
Easi-loc by name but not easi-loc by nature! The first two rows went down easily but trouble started on row 3. The problem was that not all the boards are cut entirely straight, which meant it was very difficult for adjacent rows to fit properly (some were very slightly convex and some very slightly concave). Over the whole floor, this caused slight gaps in either the middle or one of the ends to occur, and made it very difficult to get the boards ... ...whose facing edge would match the previous one (judging by eye). Also a lot of brute force to shove them together!
Fortunately, we had bought more boards than needed so we were able to select the best fit for each row.
If you buy this product, make sure you buy at least one or two spare packs.
All in all, a small room (8 x 11 ft) took two people nearly a whole weekend, but now it's down, it looks and feels fine. ...

Review of B&Q Flooring
...A friend of mine recommended karndean as an alternative as it doens't scrath and looks very realistic. I then went top me local retailer and was impressed by the look and feel but not the price i couldn't believe how much they wanted to charge me for such a small room!!! I sourced the products online and arranged the fitting with a local trader who did a fantastic job saving myself over £300 pound. Its been down for 6 months now and still looks brand ...
Advantages: good durable flooring Disadvantages: cant really think of any
...sturdy floor so picked the Quick step from their classic 800 range in teak.
Lots of choice of different colours they also do an underlay that helps with sound proofing.Its warm and comfortable to walk on
Lots of people we knew had bought laminate flooring and raved about it.We got a flooring company to fit it as we did not feel to confident to lay it ourselves.
What a difference it has made easy to clean.Just a quick sweep with a brush,then a ... ...can buy in packets.Any spillage is easily wiped up.
Its been down just over four years and looks as good as the day it was laid and recently,last month we also had the sittingroom done as well.
It is worth paying out for the more exensive type like this as it has good lasting quality and other people we know who have spent a lot less do not seem to be as lucky with their floor as we have.
It certainly stands up to the wear and tear so it makes ...
Advantages: Easy to lay, long lasting, looks good, easy to maintain Disadvantages: Not Water proof
...You can buy them from Ikea and they are ONLY delivered in packs. Each pack weighs 15 kgs and contains 9 planks. You can cover 2.39 sq. mts (25.8 sq.ft) with one pack. Each plank measures 138 cm x 19.3 cm; now you can make an approximate calculation of many planks or packs you would need to cover you floor. You will also get a guide sheet of how to lay the floor.
Cost:
When we bought the Tundra flooring there was a discount on all laminate flooring ... ...floor laying kit available from Ikea and is pretty simple to use. You will also need plastic sheeting (also available at Ikea and is called Sparra sheeting) to be laid on concrete floors as a moisture barrier. Over the plastic sheeting, we will also need floor lining (available as Niva at Ikea) to be laid which is useful for levelling the floor, sound absorption and also insulation. Once these two things are put in place, we should lay the Tundra ...
Advantages: A very cheap lay!!! Disadvantages: Making a rod for my own back?
As I slouch through the kitchen for my hundredth time in one morning I actually notice the tiles beneath my feet, grubby and well past their sell by date. Never one to hold back on another DIY challenge I take baby monster to his favourite toy store....... Homebase.
Walking around the flooring area I realised I was going to be hard pushed to tile my kitchen on a budget, until I spotted the Essentials range, easy to miss in boring bland orange and ... ...box to walk on, I took a chance. There were several different patterns from blue to a wood effect. I chose 10 packs of "brick sand", (similar to natural and pale terracotta stones in a 9 tile mosaic effect) and considered my £22.90 very well spent. This worked out to be £2.29 per pack of 6 tiles which cover approximately 6sq.ft. They have a subtle sheen to them, reflecting light which is something my kitchen rather lacks. They are hard, and slightly ...
