I have changed my mind on the flooring type altogether now after receiving some honest information from a salesperson. The flooring I was considering had a wear layer of 4mm with a gloss coating. It turns out that this coating is nowhere near as tough as what would be put down on a pollished floor, ie two-pack or polyurethane. It actually scratches fairly easily. I have found a laminate that has 25 year guarentee and just won't scratch. The supplier I went to had both types on display and gave me a sample of each with a stanely knife. The flooring with the gloss finish and wear layer could be scratched very easily, and immediately I thought of kids with toys or chairs being dragged across the floor. The laminate could not be scratched, and I put a bit more pressure on the sample to try it too. This was good enough for me, and was less that half the cost of the flooring I had first considered. This flooring uses HDF, and is not like the cheap imports that use MDF. I guess it pays to shop around and ask lots of questions. I had been sold on the dearer flooring by three other suppliers, the price range was from $41.00 - $105.00 sqm.
