We've since had some quotes back and I think it's safe to say that Engineered is out of reach for our budget. Sad face. We looked at some laminates on the weekend and have to say that we were quite impressed with how they look. They also fit to our budget. But you make some points there which concern me a little. We have been looking at the higher end ones which are 12mm thick and come with a protective seal which I believe is applied to the whole floor once it's all down. We didn't even look at the vinyl floors so I may take a look at this as well now and add it to the quotes we are getting.

Totally kept us up to date with our order, and the (newly started) layering. We have been nothing but happy with it all so far and can't wait to see how it all looks once it's all finished.

Unfortunately we got priced out of engineered flooring in the end and had to settle for a top end laminate instead. Although it lacks that feel from engineered, it actually looks really good we think. I took a look at your blog. Looks amazing. I'm thinking you are over east coast which is a shame as I was about to ask for your contractor who did the wall paneling. Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 16181 Thanks Simon, I guess I'm no concerned with the volume of the noise rather that dead and hollow sound and feel that is associated with floating floors.
