Cloud Grey Marietta Oak for the Win
Easy to lay flooring with fun color patterns. The 12mm thickness is great quality and I feel very durable. My husband and I laid about 300 sqft in a couple of hours (minus the floor prep and trim removal of course. 100% recommend, I could not be happier with this product!

    I am extremely happy with the quality of this flooring. It is much thicker than I expected and looks great with my new gray couch. I am now planning on continuing the new floors in the kids bedrooms.

    So far, so good. Just this last week I've installed over 900 sq ft of this, still have a master closet to finish but so far, I'm pleased. Instructions are a bit unclear to me, but that might be my own ignorance. They say any doorway less than 5 ft wide should have a break w/ transition strip. I want continuous coverage between rooms and not to trip over something like that. Hopefully this won't come back to burn me. Also, they suggested the opposite (parallel) of what the underlayment product (perpendicular) stated in terms of direction unless I read that wrong. I went with perpendicular rows of underlayment to the orientation of my flooring. Didn't encounter many problems - towards the end had a few rows where very slight gaps on long edges from one side of a plank to another. I tried different boards with the same result so I must have had a slight bend somewhere along the line but by the time the next row went in, it went away. I like the color and style, waiting for an order of a stair nose and t-mold into my bathroom but hopefully the quality holds up. I also ended up running perpendicular planks down a hallway. Initially I wanted to butt join at 90 degrees down two short hallways but elected to go all one direction. Actually makes for an interesting look in the hallway.

      We installed around 600 square feet in our studio apartment. I do have some construction background, but the installation was straightforward, just read and follow the directions given. The one thing that I would mention is to avoid repetition of the wood pattern. There are only about seven different patterns total, and it looks a little odd if you get two of the same pattern right next to each other. To avoid this, we laid out each new box of planks and chose carefully to avoid repetition. After we got in a rhythm of installing, the plank selection became the most time consuming part. But it was definitely worth the extra time involved. The floor looks great and this color is easy to clean. Good Luck!!

      Very impressed with the quality and ease of installation. Remember, all floor installs begin with a solid, clean and smooth sub-floor . This is my first floating floor however I began the same way as I have with engineered nail down flooring. Black moister barrier paper, full sheets of underlayment securely anchored with screws in grid pattern (every 8"). Makes for a solid foundation to then roll out (Floor Muffler) (Red) pad prior to flooring install. For ease of installing (in our living room) we chose to lay out one row at a time, interlocking them end to end first and then sliding the entire row up to the previous, starting the initial connection, tapping outer edge with plastic install block ( included in floor install kit sold separately). Once firmly positioned you can then slowly and gently lock it into position. CAUTION...if it does not lay into place with slight pressure then get your block and hammer and tap it together again. Make sure seams are tight and then try again. So far I am half way through install, very pleased, have not found any damaged pieces. The Duchess Acacia (12 mm) has 6 different patterns to choose from giving you plenty of options as you progress. Keep in mind that you will need to cut at the end of each row. Lay out each row separately as you go, stand back and look at pattern, re adjust accordingly. Do not fall into cookie cutter patterns, cut and stagger seems to give it a professional look. The pics that I included seem to look blurry for some reason. Hope they look better when published. Good luck and have fun!!

      We choose the wider laminate flooring because we had apx 1100sq ft of basement floor to cover. As with all click lock type products, installation was straight forward. Install tip: work from left to right. Using a laminate block to tap in each end, we discovered that tapping on the right side of the plank was much easier. When we tried tapping on the left end of the plank, the block would move, and we would chip the corners of the plank. Each case was about 40lbs. Having ordered 58 cases, that was the most difficult part of this install. Getting 58 cases into our basement! Very pleased with the final look. Another note about installation.... no walls are ever straight, so have fun with that. I gave four out of five because of how easy the ends of the planks were to chip.

      I would have preferred to purchase a higher quality product but kept coming back to this one because it is a beautiful finish and was the perfect look for our downstairs living room. Its easy to cut, but laminate finish chips easily if you are not careful. Just finished installing August 2018. Will see how it holds up over the next year. Again would have gladly paid more for this look on a waterproof material.
