Can any of you comment on the quality of "Quick Step" brand of laminate flooring?

Please, if you have it in your house, if you've used it..if you're a contractor installing it..if you have any experience with Quickstep, let me know if you're satisfied with it.





A contractor suggested I use this brand (the 700 series, which has a 7mm thicknes) instead of Pergo, Dupont or other big ones. I don't know anything about it except from their website.





Is it good?


Any problems with it?


Is it squicky, making noises etc?


What's the best material for underneath the laminate, to isolate the sound and moisture?





Thank you very much|||Quick step is O.k, I personally suggest using real wood; pre-finished or un-finished, its more but it lasts forever, it can be refinished unlike laminate, and it increases the value of your home significanly more than laminate. However, if your budget doesn't allow then this stuff is ok, somewhere in the middle not the best laminate though.


Everyone says quick step is easy to install, but it's not, so if you were planning on doing yourself and have never done it, think again, you will end up calling an installer. Columbia, armstrong %26amp; Bruce are some of the better laminates, and cork is the best sound %26amp; moisture barrier, the thicker the better, but by the time you buy the laminate, sound barrier, and have it installed, you could get real wood.
