Ikea tundra laminate flooring

[matt611]

Was wondering if anyone had any experince of it? I'm thinking of putting it in a small spare bedroom which is very rarely used.

It looks pretty easy to install, what does it look like after a few years?

Thanks

I used the Ikea stuff in a bedroom, after a few months it started to pop apart and pop up at the joins and it looked a mess. It also marked easily and showed up scratches from the wee mans cars etc.

I then replaced it with more expensive laminate from Direct Flooring (I think!) and it not only went down easier and locked into position easier it also cut far better and has lasted better. I strongly recommend that you get the best stuff you can afford as it shows.

I also have a friend that put down wood effect lino in his utility room and it looks great. It was an end of roll off cut he picked up for about £45.

I've had Ikea flooring for a while now.

Unless they've changed the locking system I would strongly recommend against buying it.

Not exactly the simplest and I did mine with an ex-builder.

Good point on the wood effect lino. Got it in the bathroom and looks really good. Cheap as feck too.
