Twoply 0 #1 January 20, 2009 I remodeled a few years a go and I jumped onto the no carpet- laminate floor thing. I can tell you I think the stuff is good looking and easy to clean, but dont forget to consider what room you're looking to install it in. Just like a typical smooth surface, it does nothing to absorb sound and actually makes noise echo a good amount more. It's much worse than I thought it would be. You can try to offset that with some really heavy drapes or throw rugs, but I dont have that option. The next house I have will have more carpet because we aren't scared to breakout the vacuum, and my wife is the loudest woman on earth. That chick can make noise in a padded room with a bag of cotton. Her toes are webbed too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 January 20, 2009 We paid extra to get the really good pad underneath, I think it really helps with the noise factor.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been in the process (temporarily suspended) of re-flooring my house with laminated flooring where carpet used to be, and I lay that black foam sheets down and the laminated flooring on top.

I'm damned if I know whether I have echoes here at home or not.
