Comments (3)...... sometimes even the ugliest just needs to be cleaned. A contractor turned us onto a product called Rejuvenate http://www.rejuvenateproducts.com/ This product can work miracles on anything wood. Can be purchased at Walmart to Home Depot. Read directions carefully and try on a spot first (closet floor) to see if this solves your problem. I used it on "hopeless" floors in a 70 year old house - hubby thought I had new floor installed while he was gone! Same applies to cabinets. Just sayin.......See MoreFloors
Comments (3)Kitchen's suffer from extreme humidity variation, so you should fully adhere the solid or engineered flooring to avoid a bowing/warping floor in a few months time However, here's another viable option; luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). Generally, LVTs are 2.5mm thick, made from 100% pvc (therefore waterproof), come with a thick polyurethane wear layer that normally is backed up with a manufacturers warranty, with a wood or stone effect finish. LVTs are great with underfloor heating and unlike ceramics, they don't break when heavy objects are dropped on them and unlike wooden floors, once laid, LVTs need no further maintenance other than regular vacuuming and washing. LVTs are almost indestructible! There are many options available but us Flooring Gurus recommend going for a recognised brand. The whole idea about an LVT is for it to look authentic. They need to genuinely look like the wood or stone flooring they are mimicking. Cheap alternatives, when installed, look ... well ... awful! Try looking at Polyflor's Colonia and Camaro. We sell these products online at www.flooringmegastore.co.uk and if you made contact with us, we'd be happy to despatch a few free of charge samples to you, plus a glossy catalogue, to help you research the products a bit more.

Comments (3)You mentioned 12mm laminated floor yet you are asking about 'wood'. These are often two different floors. Are you asking about an engineered HARDWOOD that is 12mm thick or are you talking about a 12mm LAMINATED floor (fibre board with a pretty picture of wood on the top)? Engineered hardwood works well in a kitchen (just like Oak & Broad points out). Laminated flooring normally DOES NOT do well in a kitchen. That means the answer to your question could be "yes" or "no"....depending on which floor you are talking about. Please clarify....See MoreFlooring Edwardian House
Comments (1)I believe you can get click and lock hardwood and bamboo planks. Also I have seen people use cork tiles on stairs quite effectively....See MoreUser
