I have been trying to get some more info on the flooring we have chosen but because I am not having any success I thought that I may as well be the first to put something out there on our blog about it and share as many pics as I have taken.
I chose Bolero Laminate Timber Flooring after a lot of research and hard thought and am very
happy with the decision - even though it is not installed yet! So I will report back. Just wanted to put that here for anyone
considering it. With a 1 and 3 year old and
not yet complete as a family, I wanted something that could look
reasonable despite the trashing I know it will get in the next 5 years
and not cost me all of the other upgrades I had in mind for my new home,
our first build.
Laminate flooring is one of the hardest wearing floor solutions on the market. No yukky grout so get discoloured as with tiles and no cold feet in winter; plus I just feel that even laminate feels more inviting as a floor solution particularly when dressed with rugs and other furniture.We were advised that the Bolero is being used as dance floor flooring and it has a 20 year warranty which was inviting.
We found a bunch of photos
here plus the ones that we took ourselves are below.

If I had to pick a laminated floor I would pick the same product. Good choice
ReplyDeleteThanks Ynot. We are still happy 2 years on.
DeleteThat looks great, especially with your colour selections :) Cant wait to see it installed.
ReplyDeleteI'm doign some work on the blog for some light relief from my 'other' blogging work :) So think this is coming up shortly!
DeleteShow pics of installed floor, pppllleeeaaassseee :)
ReplyDeleteAny day now!
DeleteHi I just came across your blog. We are building near the Bellarine Peninsula also and with have chosen Bolero Laminate boards in the Rustic Nougat. We only saw a small sample and we didn't get to choose from multiple colours. Love to see your photos. Our flooring should be layed soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Dazandstace... I dont know if you will get this... But are you happy with the Rustic Nougat? Do you have any photos...? Thank you Bronny
DeleteThe Rustic Nougat looks awesome. I love that lighter colour range too.
DeleteLook forward to the pics we are also building the Drysdale and after much thought have decided to go with the bolero the only problem is my husband likes the rustic coffee and I prefer the Nougat and it's really hard to decide when there is no where to see what it looks like fully laid. So good for you starting this off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. Glad that the post could be helpful for you :)
DeleteSince laminated flooring is made of composite timber material, laminated together, it has hard wearing top coat, which won't suffer from dents easily as Timber - So girls you can still wear your high heel stilettos. Thanks for the images.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this information above Pip, it definitely helped us. To help others, the new display (Dunedin 29) that has just opened up at Ambrosia in Cranbourne has the Bolero flooring laid. It is great to actually see it through the house.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it was helpful Deb.. just popping over to check out your blog and see your flooring now :) Time has flown since I wrote this post.
DeleteLove the colors. I'll definitely go for Bolero Laminate Timber Flooring too. Gives elegance and value to homes.
ReplyDeleteWe have been very happy with it and get so many compliments.
