Hi guys,

My downstairs needs flooring, Around 40m^2 of which 10m^2 will be tiled (the kitchen and downstairs loo) The rest of it - hall way, lounge, diner and utility will all be wood/laminate/engineered etc...

Concrete sub floor, I'll be levelling it with a really runny compound mainly where the kitchen has been knocked into the diner and a double door is to be fitted as the two floors were different levels.

I dont have a huge amount of money to spend so amtico is probably out of the question but I don't want tacky B&Q laminate... Some kind of happy middle ground that will last, look decent and insulate well.

Some advice and pointers hugely appreciated :)
 
I've not really got a budget, I'm renovating the whole house so ultimately ill just have to put it back a month or so if its quite steep... I guess £25/30/m all in would be reasonable at £900 max

Am I being realistic?

Edited... Tightened up the budget a bit...

Right guys, Thanks for the suggestions and input thus far.

I'm going to nip to Howdens tomorrow hopefully and pick a couple of samples up, American Pecan and Oak. I've got a friend with an account so we're sorted there ;)

Then from tradepriced I'll get 3 rolls of the sonic gold underlay. This doubles up as the DPM with the vapour tape ready to lay the laminate onto directly as I understand it...

How level does the concrete sub floor need to be? I've just flooded some levelling compound across the kitchen to hopefully bring it about right :)
