Anyone got it or know anything about it? Is it worth more than twice the price of a similar laminate flooring?

I'd never heard of till last week! My local shop was pushing it hard and it does look good. It'll be Parador brown boxwood most likely but it's around £35/m when laminate can be had for around £15 - but not in the style I like.

Have a look at Amtico ,Karndean, Tarkett and theres a few others about as well. shop around even ebay there a people selling large amounts, Think i paid about £17.50sqm, if you need someone to fit it for you they arnt cheap.

Yeah, fitting costs seem to be the problem. I got enough for ~23m² for about £600, but the quote to fit was around 3x that amount. Ended up doing it myself. Plenty of vids on YouTube showing how. As above, proper preparation of the floor is key to getting it right.

Excellent stuff though. We're doing house renovations and we're having it throughout the ground floor.

Oh right, well mines only a small house, I think it's 78sq/m and the fitting cost for that was £600. The flooring itself with underlay etc will be about £2.5k which compares well with decent carpet.
