Laminate Flooring;decent makes?

Question

I am hoping to get a small (3.66m x 2.57m or 12` x 8`5") back bedroom floor laminated as the current exposed floorboards are old and very dirty, further mess with sanding is not an option, nor do I want to carpet it, for a change! I have been looking at the various choices on the Floors 2 Go site. The Fast Step and Quick Step options look to have a good range, and are guaranteed for 15 years.One of the Quick Step choices is also 9.5mm thick. Can I have any advice, please, on making a choice of flooring , and whether these `click` types are ok? I plan to use the room as a spare room / Computer room, so there will be SOME regular use on the floor, but not too heavy, I should think

TIA

Thecontinued use of a 5-wheel office chair on my laminate flooring ruined thesurface finish (much like cleaning with an abrasive cleaner would). Get asmall rug or something to go under the chair.Laminate flooring isn't awfully good in terms of battering and scratchingbut it's cheap and cheerful and looks OK of you don't batter it. The clicktypes now should be fine.
