Any opinions on Mannington laminate floors?

10 years ago

Does anyone here have any opinions on Mannington laminate floors? We are specifically looking at the Restoration Series. Website says it is available in 12mm thickness, but at the store, they had 8mm and 12mm. Can someone weigh in on the pros and cons of each thickness? Thank you.

I have the same question. Did you end up purchasing Mannington Restoration?

Hi Emily, the pros of 12mm thickness are the following: there's a firmer, more solid feeling underfoot, it's quieter and it has superior indentation resistance. Also, here's a helpful page that provides more information on the great benefits Mannington Restoration Collection™ offers: https://www.mannington.com/Residential/Laminate/SpillShield
Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm with Mannington. The THICKER the laminate, the higher the consumer (homeowner) satisfaction will be. Sure, you can get an 8mm thick laminate for $0.79/sf at HD....but why would you?

I like to START at 12mm thickness and then move up from there. Some of the top end brands will have 15mm thickness available around the $4/sf mark. Absolutely normal for that thickness.

That being said, the Mannington laminate is a decent product with a decent reputation with a decent price tag with plenty of options. Win-Win-Win.

I like to work with the planks that do NOT have under pad attached. That way you can mix/match your under pad/lay needs as the situation requires. You should ALWAYS plan on using an under pad....but everyone's situation is different. Someone in a home in S. Florida over slab on grade just needs the basic 2-in-1 vapour barrier + under pad in this situation. $0.50/sf is just perfect.

Someone in a Low-Rise in NY City will NEED some SERIOUS acoustic insulation. Many of those co-ops or condo boards require 1/2" cork for any floor being installed. That means you need the floor + 1/2" cork. Again, I like to work with the planks that do NOT have the underpad so that you can mix and match PROPERLY to suit your situation.

Attached underpad will PROHIBIT the use of ANYTHING ELSE underneath. And that gets upsetting to clients who purchase FIRST then ask questions of their condo boards LATER....very, very, very expensive mistake!

Good luck with the Mannington. I have their product in my rental and it is 7+ years old (or more) and still going strong. No one would know this is a floor closer to 10 years old than 1 year old.
