We have just laid loose lay vinyl planks in our kitchen. We have bamboo, tiles and carpet elsewhere in the house but I didn't want any of these in the kitchen (previously cork). So far we are very happy with them, but will see how they hold up after 6months, 12 months. We got different stories re loose lay planks from every shop we spoke to - you put some tacky stuff on all planks/edge planks/no planks, they will expand and shrink/they won't expand and shrink. So because they suited our purpose, and the area is less than 10sm we figured we'd give it a go. Won't lose much if they are a disaster. Husband laid it and the only time consuming bit is cutting around indents etc. It feels nice underfoot. We bought Decoria Kempas @ $535 delivered to NSW for 10.8sm (5 boxes) from Integra Floors in Qld. Re: Specific questions around laminate and vinyl plank floor 28Mar 17, 2015 9:59 am I'm also deciding between laminate and vinyl for my main bedroom. From what i have been reading, its probably better to use the vinyl in the 'wet' areas and keep the laminate to the other rooms. I have been in contact with Harvey Norman (Gepps Cross), who are going to send me some suggestions on a laminate.

I had a look at a few, even some more expensive types, and they all came across as very plastic like. Re: Specific questions around laminate and vinyl plank floor 33Mar 23, 2015 5:24 pm Havnt decided yet, but its a choice between Karndean, Kenbrock, Polyflor and Genero. I'm not phased about the plasticness of it, its better than the noisy laminate and more waterproof. I have real hardwood flooring in my current house and love it, but its a satin finish and the Vinyl is going to be very different in my new house, but I like it, its the best option for my budget and situation.

Ask what the product warranty and the install warranty is of the other brand compared to Karndean. Also is there a difference in wear layer? My Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=74866 Specific questions around laminate and vinyl plank flooring 38Mar 24, 2015 1:43 pm Karndean has a wear layer of 0.55mm with a total thickness of 4.5mm. 15 year residential warranty. Godfrey Hirst at 0.5mm with a total thickness of 5.0mm. 25 year residential warranty. Pretty much the same really except for the longer warrantee for GH. Thanks Excited_much I guess I can't really go wrong with either with that warranty. Re: Specific questions around laminate and vinyl plank floor 39Mar 24, 2015 11:53 pm We are also looking at going with vinyl planks for a new place which we are building. We are currently deciding between Gerflor Creation Clic and Godfrey Hirst. Would love to hear peoples opinion on either of them.
