I'm about to lay a floor in a largish lounge/dining room (about 32 square metres).
I'm debating between solid wood, laminate or 'engineering' wood. It will be laid on a decent floating chipboard floor.
Apart from the aesthetics has anyone got any thoughts about the ease of laying the different types and the pros and cons of them in every day use.
Clarly one issue may be the extra thickness involved in the solid floor.
I've laid laminate before but not solid floor. I also note that if you get a company in they seem to charge more for solid floor laying. Any reason for this?
Finally what are the thoughts about the different types of underpay available?
Thanks
Geoff
