Karndean Flooring

Upon moving into my house nearly a year ago my partner suggested that we get kardean flooring on our lower ground floor.

I've had wood in my lounge and found it scratched like crazy. My fat aunty and heels last christmas made me squirm in my chair and its completely ruined within a year it looks tatty and worn, so when i decieded to get my hall carpet replaced although i love the look and feel of wood theres no way i'd consider putting it intop such a heavily used area!!!
