Judas in the house !!!!!!!!!!!
« on: April 24, 2005, 02:02:25 pm »
Sorry chaps but I'm about to lay a 12 X 12 room in my house with LAMINATE FLOORING !!!!!!!!!!!!........its average quality. With beading and foam underlay its £115 all in.. Almost the same price as some of you chaps would charge to clean a room that size. A £100 carpet would be very poor quality.

I think we should run a book to see how long you keep it before 'it' drives you and the family crazy  ;)

yep you're right. Never had it before, but for about £100 I can find out how bad it really is.

As someone that was in the flooring trade for 17 years I would say that the laminate you have bought will not last very long!! Just over £8.50 a M2 !!!! have a look for small chips on the ends and the backing will probably be made of a paper composite. As the other member stated It is noisy, slippery, has to be dusted daily and wait until you come to fit the beading! The best and by far the easiest way to install it is to remove the skirting boards.

I'd be more concerned with the health issue of breathing in all that contaminated air, once you have no carpet to trap the pollutants.

Noise, cold, slipping, looks etc. etc. are all secondary issues.
As for price, you get what you pay for!

If a 12 x 12 "£100 carpet" is "very poor quality" why do you think a 12 x 12 laminate floor for the same sort of money is going to be any better?

By the way - check out what happened to Judas - ACTS CH.1 v18

Because £100 for laminate flooring for a 12 x 12 gets you a decent quaity product. Not the best but not the cheapest. And it will definitely outlast the 12 x 12 £100 carpet. My mate has had the exact same flooring in his house for about 2 yrs and its fine.
