Another thing - we installed it in the bird room also. I have an African grey that I let out of his cage. He poops everywhere and for a quick clean up before mopping, I take a putty knife to the floor! I sometimes pin-baste in the LR and can feel the pins raking the floor. Pull the quilt up and not a single scratch!

The planks already have the backing attached: you can install it right over concrete or underlayment.

I also have a wood Laminate floor from Lowes. I agree don't go too dark, it will also make your room look and feel smaller. I love cleaning my floor with a simple swifter. No more carpet ever in my sewing room....

I have had laminate for years and love it.
It isnt as cold to walk on as tile and looks much better.
I have two different ones in two different houses.
One is very light and one is a medium. I like both.
One is a cheaper grade and one is a step up. I dont see a difference so far in quality.

I have pergo throughout my house and I love it. You can't beat it for laying out and pinning a quilt sandwich, nothing harms the stuff! It laughs at pet messes! It just needs to be cleaned with vinegar and water to bring back the shine!
