Tokenz: 2,687   |  Laminate Flooring Thoughts or opinions on laminate flooring? I helped a buddy install it in his house last night and I thought it looked so good I'm considering tearing the carpet out of my living room and going with laminate. Any advice? Anyone have it and wanna say yeah its great or God it sucks dont do it?

Tokenz: 17,400 | Re: Laminate Flooring We had Capella engineered hardwood installed in every room in my other house. Basically, it is afixed to the foundation, it has a much more resistance to pressure than a pergo or something similar, and it is not loud like a pergo. You don't have to go with Capella albeit, it was about 9-10 dollars per sq/ft but I would definitely recommend an engineered hardwood over a laminate. Oh and the surface is aluminum oxide coated for scratch resistance, and minor scratches can be fixed in minutes by the right person.

Tokenz: 2,687 | Re: Laminate Flooring I'm planning to put my house on the market in May, so I want to do something that looks good but I don't want to break the bank in the process. $9-$10 a sq ft for my 336 sq ft living room = ouch.

| Re: Laminate Flooring Since, you don't get much of a return on flooring within the sale, you might as well do it anyway for the cosmetic appeal. Overall, cosmetics will sell your house. |

Tokenz: 20,984 | Re: Laminate Flooring we went some some thick textures flooring in my house, it gives a nie look and it shold withstand most of anything that my two little terrors can throw at it. Yes, it is worth it but your house will get louder lol, we have a big open living room and going from carpet to flooring the house is much much louder. |
