Laminate fucking flooring

[fractionMan]

It's great if you've got kids - easy to clean. And it's beter than lino cos it sticks to the floor rather than "bubbling" up.

You have inspired me, Milesy.

"I've got a floor
That'll rock your core
It ain't real wood but I sure am lovin' it
Come put your dutty booty on my durable laminate."

Thanks

could that be the first use of the word "durable" in poetry? Groundbreaking.

Ok, right now I really wish I had something other than carpet. daughter is not quite pottytrained and had the squits this afternoon. I've cleaned it several times and it still stinks.

I think laminate flooring may be layed ahead of schedule. I'm considering a run up to B&Q for some cheapish stuff this weekend. i'ts got to be better than green carpet with brownish blotches.

We spent quite a bit on our laminate because tbh.. I wanted bamboo but gaijinboy wanted laminate (he's so practical.... ) so we went for a compromise.

But, my mum got really cheap laminate (also from B&Q as it happens) and it looks quite nice. I think - to add to what some others have said on here - if you avoid the super super pale beech type stuff it looks better!

no. parque flooring is nice.

I agree.

But I can't for the life of me think of a song about it. Plenty of songs about curtains but not so many about interior flooring materials.

What about tiles?

Any songs about tiles?

I * heart * tiles!!!! I'd tile the bathroom ceiling if I could.

Tiles tiles
give you piles
if you sit on them for too long.

I did, however, just last night, receive a huge basket of lovely flowers from the carpet fitters 'Dear Mrs Groucho, Thank you very much for your custom. Carpet people.'

That's nice innit?

btw If anyone fancies becoming Mrs Groucho, if you act quick there's a big basket of flowers in it for you...

Oh well, no takers.

The flowers are wilting, now there's no incentive to become Mrs Groucho.

Guess I'll just stay single.

2 years ago, we covered our crap, gappy original floorboards with that thin foam insulation then just laid new t&g floorboards on top of them then varnished them with half a dozen layers of floor varnish. It was cheap, looks great, is easy to clean and is very warm. It took about a day to lay the floor and another couple of days to finish the varnishing. It cost a little bit more than the cheapest laminate but was a lot cheaper than either good carpet or laminate.

Tiles have style
and they stand out a mile

... but yeah, they give you piles, but only if you walk down the aisle
with one attached to your bum
