VarioClic

VarioClic is the laminate brand of Yıldız Entegre, a Turkish wood-panel manufacturer. It is the name behind most of the 8 mm laminate on this site — and until now it appeared nowhere on its own product pages except in the filename of the photograph.

What to look at before you order

Laminate is the most floor for the money in this catalogue, and the category where the gap between a good decision and a bad one is widest. The decision is not the decor. It is the abrasion rating, and it should be made room by room rather than for the house.

A hallway, a kitchen and a room with a dog take abrasion a spare bedroom never sees. Buying one rating throughout means overpaying in the quiet rooms and underspecifying in the busy ones, which is the most common and most expensive mistake in the category.

The second decision is underlay, and it is the line most often deleted from a quote. On a ground floor it carries the damp-proof membrane. Everywhere it removes the hollow sound that identifies a cheap laminate floor the moment somebody walks across it.
