Hi. Has anyone used this and can comment on the quality? I can't find any reviews online although have seen 2 pros on here recommend it once before. It's glue down with a 0.55 wear layer with a 10 year warranty and appears to be good quality and lifelike in the flesh. Thanks

Strange, we have been advised by Karndean never ever to use a steam mop as they can get so hot they can melt the glue ( which does make sense since they do use something that looks like a steam mop to lift damaged tiles!)

Not sure about the gaps but I have LVT and there are certainly no gaps in mine and I wouldn’t have been happy with them especially bearing in mind that I use a steam cleaner to clean it which would mean the steam would go into the gaps.

It would all depend on the thickness of the concrete slab. Certainly my brothers kitchen took around 3 months to fully dry before the LVT went down. They had the rest of the kitchen fitted, so were able to use it whilst waiting. Quick Step have a nice explanation about time frames here https://www.quick-step.co.uk/en-gb/frequently-asked-questions/laminate/preparation-and-installation/how-long-should-i-wait-before-i-can-lay-quick-step-laminate-on-a-fresh-concrete-floor-or-screed. It basically says it’s 1 week per cm depth for the first 4 cms. If it’s deeper than 4 cms, the next two cms need two weeks drying time each, and if it’s deeper than 6 cms, each cm will need 4 weeks of sting time. So if your slab is 7 cm deep, the first 4 cm would take 4 weeks to dry, 5 and 6 cm deep would take another 4 weeks (2 weeks per cm) and then the 7th cm adds another 4 weeks. Total of 12 weeks.
