What Is The Best Floating Laminate Floor?
February 27th, 2010 | 
Author: We just ripped the carpet out of our basement and really wanted hardwood but once we found out that our only choices were engineered or bamboo we started to look into laminates. We have been looking at lumber Liquidators. We want something economical but a good enough quality that it isnt immediatly obvious that it is laminate. Any suggestions for a floor that locks together tightly and has a good sound too it when walked on? Also is cork the best underlayment for a floating floor? Or should we opt for a quiet walk type underlayment with the moisture barrier? Thanks any advice will be much appreciated.
New Flooring In The Basement… Hardwood, Vinyl, Laminate…??
What would be best for my finished basement? Some have told me that you can not put hardwood in a basement and some have said you can… what would be best? Does vinyl/laminate look bad? help! I’m not sure if the floor is perfectly level, I wont know that until we take out the old carpet…
Any Problem Installing Laminate Flooring Directly (no Underlay) Over Vinyl Kitchen Floor That Is Over Dry Wood
The salesman says to use a plastic sheet and/or thin foam underlay but offers no persuasive reason to do so other than the floor might be quieter. My subfloor is dry wood over a full basement. I can see no valid reason for the added underlay and expect to install without it unless someone can offer a good reason for its use.

And if so, do I still have to use padding under it? The existing floor is in really good shape, but it doesn’t match the room anymore.
How Much Should I Charge To Install 1,000 Sq Ft Of Laminate Flooring?
I will have to take out approximately 800 sq ft of carpet and some vinyl floor as well. It will be installed over concrete floors, I am not going to level the floor. I have specific instructions not to worry about that. There is some furniture to move. Any ideas of the cost would be greatly appreciated.

Should I Use Laminate Or Allure Trafficmaster Flooring?
I’m going to install some wood floors. Real hard wood is too expensive so I was looking for a cheaper alternative. Does anyone have any advice on wood floor alternatives that holds up well under regular traffic? I have a tiny toy poodle and a 6-year old son. Our floors get regular wear, not overly heavy traffic, but I’m hoping to find something that will last.
Has anyone used the new Allure Trafficmaster vinyl floors?
Do I Have To Remove The Toilet To Put Down Laminate Flooring In The Bathroom?
Right now there’s vinyl flooring there and I want to put down this laminate that looks like stone. I just don’t know if I have to remove the toilet to put it in or do I cut around it and caulk? I want it to look as professional as possible. I just don’t want it to scream “AMATEUR”.

What Laminate Flooring Should I Pair With My Oak Cabinets?
Currently we have vinyl flooring, and it’s awful. Ceramic isn’t an option, and we used to have hardwood, but our kids destroyed it. So now laminate it is. Any ideas colour-wise? Should I try to match it to the cabinets?
