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.
