A month ago I had wood laminate installed in my living room, hallway, and 3 bedrooms and, so far, I love it - it looks great, seems pretty durable, and clean-ups easily.
Red, why do you say laminate should be installed in small areas only?
Beware of those who would delight in taking your money for non-needed things. I had one major showroom reseller/installer/salestype tell me that particleboard subflooring is substandard; they'd need to rip it out and put down plywood subflooring before the laminate installation in order to guarantee it. This would've resulted in 100s if not 1000s in extra expense. I queried 3 licensed, bonded, and insured professional flooring installers who told me that was, well, BS - provided the particleboard is in good condition to be begin with.
Note: Laminate can be cold so area rugs may need to be considered for barefoot comfort.
Agreed; ceramic tile-look laminate looks pretty good these days, I'm considering it for my baths and kitchen instead of real tile..
