Laminate flooring suggestions
We had plans on totally remodeling our kitchen but after talking with DH we decided that since this isn't our "forever" home we'll just redo the stuff that will make it a little more appealing to us- flooring and countertops. Any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive laminate flooring? We've found anything from $1.99 sq. foot up to $6 or $7 per sq. foot. I'm not sure where to go- a discount place, a larger store, or somewhere local. Any suggestions in the Buffalo area?
Re: Laminate flooring suggestions
We actually got "allure" flooring from the Home Depot. Everyone who comes to our house thinks it's hardwood and is shocked when we tell them otherwise. It was dirt cheap and DH and I installed it ourselves. Granted it was time consuming and a bit of a PITA but DH and I have NO experience doing anything like that so for us to be able to even do it successfully was impressive.
We've really liked it so far. It gave us the look we wanted for a very affordable price. Over the past few months a few boards have "separated" in some spots but all we do is step on it and it goes back to normal and stays that way. I think it was because our floor underneath was so horrible and uneven and we didn't do anything to it before we laid these.
Here is our living room after we finished:

Be very careful with going "too cheap" most of the time when it comes to construction products and also furniture $=quality. I would try to stick with the big well known brands...Pergo, Armstrong, Shaw, Mohawk, Mannington, Wilsonart.
Definitely go to a few local flooring stores and/or lowes & home depot too just to actually be able to look at the products and also get their pricing. But there are also some great prices you can get by ordering online. We've ordered flooring from www.fastfloors.com before and they were wonderful to deal with!
