Carpet or Laminate
Comments

Depends for which room. If laminate make sure you don't buy too cheap.1

Would not have laminate again in a kitchen, would have tiles or Lino in a kitchen.

laminate far too noisy for flats and should be banned - in some leases it is. I would go to war if someone above me installed laminate.2

Real wood in the living room and hallway. Carpet on the stairs, landing and bedrooms. Slate tiles in the kitchen and bathroom.2

Real wood floors are normally not much more expensive apart from the dirt cheap laminate.

Laminate is nice in summer but come winter the warmth of carpet is better. Because of this I recommend refitting flooring twice a year...2

Who else has the Fifteen To One theme stuck in their head now?0

Once you have kids, hard floors (downstairs at least) is the way to go. Unless you want to try to get chocolate, spilt drinks, puke out your carpets all the time.1

Easiest way around this is to get the wife and kids to move out. Let them back when the youngest kid is at least 14.DamoNorthStand said:Once you have kids, hard floors (downstairs at least) is the way to go. Unless you want to try to get chocolate, spilt drinks, puke out your carpets all the time.

Problem we have had with ours is that if you do get a scratch on it, it looks bloody awful. After having toys thrown all over it, the sun shines in the window and does my floor OCD no good at all.soapy_jones said:Amtico. Fookin expensive stuff.

I find you have to strip it and re coat it once a year to keep it looking sharp.0 -
We redid our place with thick engineered wood flooring throughout, with a high quality underlay as well to help dull any sound. It really doesn't sound anything like the cheap laminate so shouldn't piss of anyone below. A bit of me wishes we'd done carpet in the bedroom now tho.0

extra deep pile 100% wool carpet for the bedrooms, ebony floorboards topped with a Persian rug for the living room, granite for the kitchen, and marble staircases, bathroom and hallway ;-)0

I did this for the entire ground floor and bathrooms. But i went with oak stair treds and oak on the landing and througout the bedrooms. As Addicted good quality underlay, it makes an enormous difference.soapy_jones said:Amtico. Fookin expensive stuff.

Easy to keep the house clean apparently (so she tells me)0 -
