I am going to be replacing all the carpeting on the first floor of my house with Laminate wood flooring. I have worked with it before. But only on a small level ie: 2 small bathroom floors.
This flooring will be going over concrete slab.
I am wondering if the thickness of the flooring over approx 1000 sq ft really makes a big difference. I can get 8mm thick and a separate underlayment of my choice.
Or I have found a 12mm board with a 2mm underlayment attached to it.
Plus will be using a vapor barrier first.
Its a big project and somewhat costly. I want to do it once and do it right. I want to make sure that the thickness of the board is or isn't really a factor.
Anyone have any suggestions?
THanks
