Laminate flooring.

Les Desser · 2006-09-08T17:45:53+00:00

I have been thinking of putting down some form of wood flooring in my entrance hall. (Not too thick as it has to match with carpeting in the rooms.)I thought the best would be the type with about a 3mm real wood top layer.I had a well-recommended carpet layer round to measure up for a carpet in an other room and we got talking.He was very much against that sort of stuff (unstable, will change colour in places where the sun comes through the window...) and very strongly recommended one with an mdf backing and an artificial print on the top.He showed me same samples and they were very realistic. He says he has been fitting them for 4 years without any problems. They come with a 20 year guarantee. I'm afraid I did not make a note of the make.I would have thought that this sort of thing would be worn through in no time.Any views on the subject welcome.

It's modern technology I suppose, I've no idea. Never did study plastics seriously.
