Advantages: Easy to maintain Disadvantages: Not suitable for Bathrooms
I have had my Tundra Laminate Floor from Ikea for 2 years now and I have to say that it is the best decision I ever made. It's easy to keep clean and maintain and still looks as good as it did when originally fitted. Tundra flooring has a 15 year guarantee and is very hard wearing. I have two kids and two dogs, I have no stains as I did with my previous scotchguard carpet. Spills are easy to clean up and marks are none existant! I would certainly recommend Ikea Tundra to anyone considering it. Before I checked the prices at Ikea I had a quotation from Courts who wanted to charge me in excess of £2000, I contacted Ikea, purchased the flooring and materials for less than £500 and had their contractors fit the floor, all for less than £800! ...
Advantages: Easy to lay, long lasting, looks good, easy to maintain Disadvantages: Not Water proof
OK., before we start.. first thing to note is that Tundra Flooring is a laminate flooring and NOT real wood.
Technical details:
You can buy them from Ikea and they are ONLY delivered in packs. Each pack weighs 15 kgs and contains 9 planks. You can cover 2.39 sq. mts (25.8 sq.ft) with one pack. Each plank measures 138 cm x 19.3 cm; now you can make an approximate calculation of many planks or packs you would need to cover you floor. You will also get a guide sheet of how to lay the floor.
Cost:
When we bought the Tundra flooring there was a discount on all laminate flooring from Ikea. Hence, we got it a £15 per pack.
You should always buy one pack more than what is necessary just to allow that human error.
Tools and extra material needed to lay the floor:
There is a Fixa laminate floor laying kit available from Ikea ...
