Pros: colour is nice
Cons: difficult to install due to small interlocking, easy to break interlocking system, boards unlock themselves when you walk on them, difficult to install
"Buying this product was the worst decision ever. They were a nightmare to put down. The interlocking on the board is very small and it was difficult to get them to lock together. Even when you manage to lock them together, they would unlock a few minutes later.
Our floor looks awful with unlocked laminate flooring. If we move the furniture the boards move with it. As soon as we can afford it, we are going to replace them with a different laminate.
It was a waste of money. We wish that we had returned them to wickes when we saw how rubbish they were but didnt have the transport that would accomodate the boards and so couldnt return them.
I would not recommend this laminate to anyone. If you are going to laminate your floor, I would recommend you use one that have a bigger interlocking system."

Pros: nice colour
Cons: chips away to easily
"When laying the flooring the edges chip away very easily, leading to wastage (although you can try and re-usethem later). It's quite frustrating when this happens, particularly when you're banging it in to position.
I've bought cheaper flooring in the past and they fitted more easily.."

"Bought for the bedroom, it is tricky at first to get the right angle to join together but when you use the floor fitting kit it made it very easy, although there were a few chipped peices. Overall the flooring went down well and looks good."

Pros: anyone can lay this flooring, good effect for the money
Cons: some planks have marks use these at ends
"FIRST TIME I BOUGHT THIS FASTFIX FLOORING AND I DIDNT REALLY THINK IT WOULD LOOK THAT GOOD, HOWEVER IT LOOKS GREAT, ITS BEEN DOWN NOW FOR A MONTH AND STILL LOOKS GOOD. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE DELIVERY ITS SELF THEN I CAN SET YOUR MIND AT REST AS THE FLOORING CAME EXTREMELY WELL PROTECTED ON ITS OWN PALLET AND IF YOU ASK THE DRIVER HE WILL EVEN TAKE THE PALLET BACK WITH HIM."

"Ordered goods on a Wednesday and by Thursday afternoon they had arrived.
Builder was sceptical about price and finish of it when I told him, but by the Monday morning he was impressed enough to go and order some for his dining room! Easy enough to fit although some tools are needed although not specified. For the price of this product I have no complaints and ordered an extra pack in case there were any breakages., which there were'nt. Have three packs and 2 scotia's left over, just need to order another three and that's my daughter's room sorted. One advice is to go for more expensive underlay though. My lounge, hall and dining room floor are in excellent condition, but for bedrooms or more uneven surfaces buy some decent underlay."

Pros: great colour
Cons: scratches to easy
"This flooring is truely awful. I've only had this flooring laid in my living room for around six months, yet it looks like it's been down for ten years due to scratches.
It cost me a small fortune for this flooring due to my living room being quite big, and now because it looks so bad I'm having to buy a new floor.
Total waste of money!"

"This product is great value at a great price. The colour is really nice and effective. I have given it 5 stars all round but do remember this is mid range laminate not real wood, you get what you pay for and this is worth paying for."

"Quite simply an awful product. Click lock system simply doesn't work very well. Joints are visible after fitting. The edge of the boards break off far too easily. Final finish looks OK, but nasty to walk on. Never again."

Pros: dead simple to lay and locks together tightly
"This is the 4th time I've laid laminate flooring. My previous 3 jobs were all ok-ish but there were always sections that just wouldn't tightly butt together or lock-in. However, end result with Fast Fix 12 is stunning - every piece has slipped together perfectly with absolutely no gaps anywhere. I did a big through lounge with a bay and funny angled fireplaces (took 12 packs); despite these challenging bits the flooring went down a dream,"

Would not recommend

"I hate to say but really not very good at all, especially if for the DIY fitter. The click lock system is the poorest I have used, did not fit together very well at all and joints are clearly visible on completion."
