[Tovin]

Has anyone tested Byggmax laminate flooring? How is it to lay? How durable is it?

Hi, yes we put it in our construction shed 2 years ago.
Looks a bit worn in some places.
Pretty low quality, but works in selected spots.

Has anyone tested Byggmax laminate flooring? How is it to install? How durable is it?

Maybe a bit late info. But I remodeled the upper hallway, doors to bedrooms, etc., and was looking for a 9 mm laminate floor. Previously had Pergo on the upper floor and "standard" then was 9 mm.
Today's cheap laminates are 8 mm.

9 m laminate + 2 mm pad = 11 mm.

8 mm now + 3 mm pad = 11 mm.


So I bought "my floor" 3 plank Oak at Byggmax. 149 SEK per sqm, a bargain.

I've laid hundreds of square meters of flooring, laminate, etc., before so I'm definitely not a beginner.

But now a senior and sometimes stinginess deceives wisdom. 957 SEK for 6 sqm.

The laminate was enough. BUT !!!!!

WARNING WARNING WARNING


This laminate does not work, it comes apart on the long sides. They've inserted a plastic spring on the short sides so it says "click" ... yes but the floor itself doesn't click and constantly pops out. The MDF grip simply breaks. This was done with just hands and no force, just following instructions.


THE LAMINATE FLOORING IS A DISASTER AND SHOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

I have been in contact with Byggmax. They require you to fill out a link with about 50 details that hardly relate to the floor or installation at all.
You have to log in with bank-id and get a reference/case number.

Tried to get in touch again. But Byggmax hasn't responded.

"They are investigating the issue..."

Now I'm done shopping at Byggmax. They completely ignore complaints.
