Real Wood or Laminate?


Triassic

Recommended Posts

Everyone was telling me to expect plank tiles to be bent, even the people in the shops (so they would say "told you so" when you tried to take them back because they were bent.

 

Hence everyone saying just a very small bond to stop lipping from showing.

 

We have engineered oak in the kitchen and so far standing up well.  We have a sacrificial mat in front of the hob, that is all.

Most of our house, including all of our bedrooms is engineered walnut.

 

We do have lots of the plank tiles which we had no problems with at all. We even used them to build waterproof benches.

 

Personally I would prefer the feel of wood underfoot in a bedroom. It is softer and warmer. The key thing to watch is that people don't scrape furniture across it (or leave their laptop on a bed so that when their wife grabs the duvet it flies across the room and lands on its corner on the floor! MacBook Pro undamaged, floor large gouge)
