thats a bargain but at 6mm thick it's not the best.
Also careful with any warranties you may need a qualified installer or meet certain conditions to install to receive the 10 year guarantee
GAVINLEWISHUKD to blinko
17 May 16#18
At this price just buy a spare set and just do it again when it looks bad.
The warranty will be for manufacturers defects which is pretty much the top layer delaminating, which isn't likely to happen.
If it gets wet you won't be covered. Sun damage won't be covered. Worn through the laminate won't be covered (overly high traffic).
So in reality the warranty will be pretty pointless, which is why they will give you 10 years.

Bargain.
If you're looking for thicker laminate, check out Wickes. I got some fantastic stuff, it was the cheapest by far (compared to howdens, b&q, Homebase, local independent stores) and looks great.
I went on a weekend that it was on promotion, plus £20 off £100 spend.
They let me return the unopened packs 4 months after the original purchase too.

shakerstevens to faatimahomer
17 May 161#28
There is a calculator on the home base web site. Measure a room. So a 3x3m room (small bedroom) = 9sq foot. You need to allow for 10% wastage at least. Each pack is under under 3qm so you need 4 packs really for a 3x3 room as an example.

Reserved last 11 at local, called and said only 6 (bloody dodgy staff reserving a customer reserve) so that's £12 for laminate and £80 for a new king size bed for the old mans guest room...not that it cost him a penny lol...happy old man.
Will just need to source some cheap flooring for the upper hall, but guest room has all its facilities ready to put in..back off to finishing painting it :disappointed:

I'm not agreeing that it's right they sell off reserved stock that's been paid for, but you can't expect them to race around the shop putting 20 packs of flooring out the back within 60 seconds before someone picks it up in store.

Make sure if you are keeping them in a garage while waiting to do each room that you bring them in the day before to acclimatise.
Now you just have to find some cheap underlay. :smiley: Using the foam is OK if you have wooden floors. You will need something with a vapor barrier if you have a solid floor.

For the beading, when I replaced a load of mine when I moved in last year, I just used cheap stuff from ebay and painted it satinwood, the same as the skirtings rather than trying to match the floor that was already there.
As for threshold strips, well I'm not sure for that yet.

We're these really £14 originally? Seems very steep for 6mm thickness. I have to drive a long way to get any and I'm not sure if it's going to be worth it. How would people rate the quality? I'm not expecting a premium quality but just something average-ish.

Just picked up a few packs for the house and I think they are a bargain for 2 quid each - the quality isn't bad either. It's all relative - if you are on a budget then of course they are worth it - if you can afford more, of course 10 or 12 mm thickness is going to be better but cost you a lot more. I am quite happy with my bargain.
Mentos
17 May 16#111
TBH its pointless, if its similar to the warranty with other flooring. A picture of the damage will suffice, but all you'll get is replacement boards. You then have to rip up the flooring to replace the damaged boards yourself. Which isn't a trivial task with laminate unless the boards that need replacing are near then end of a run :/
If you need it to last 10 years, best to ensure (as much as possible) the product is good rather than thinking a warranty will help you.
