Sturdy floor

This flooring is very affordable and sturdy. It locks and really nicely. There are a couple pieces in the box that had some misprint on them which I’m going to contact the company and see how they handle and I will update. But the floor is perfect especially for rentals. It looks very nice.

Very good flooring

We bought this flooring about 6 months ago. Took my husband and son 1 day to lay the whole downstairs. I have a split level home. I also have 2 90lb dogs. No scratches! Holds up very well. Still looks like brand new. Very easy to clean and maintain.

Simply the best for the price

This is a wonderful floor, which realistic color and textures. It feels solid underfoot and snaps together pretty easily. I will say that you need to be very careful when tapping them together and when tapping the ends together. Sometimes it will care the top graphic layer to delaminate and then the whole plank is trash. But once I figured that out, I had no further issues.

Wish I had chosen something else.

I have had this flooring for about 6 years. Wish every day that I had bought something else. When first purchased had to return because the edges that were supposed to snap together were broken. Husband had already installed some and was grumbling the whole time because it would not go together correctly. (He has installed LOTS of floors.) Replaced it. Stayed with the same choice because it was supposed to have warranty and last years for a decent price. Within first weeks had toy fall on it and it chipped. Something else fell from coffee table height and it chipped. Contacted the manufacturer. They say, and I quote, "that's normal. You should purchase a furniture coloring item and rub it on spots." First winter in, the area by the main door is buckled and painted surface gone from where shoes come in wet. Manufacturer...still my fault. Need more for another room and wanted matching but don't trust this. That's why just now doing review.

Hello, Pearl Gray has only been available to purchase since 2020. However, we're sorry you experienced difficulty installing the floor. What you're describing is unusual, as the click and lock system is designed for ultimate ease and efficiency. This shouldn't happen if the first 3-4 rows are installed and aligned correctly. Since it sounds like there were issues installing your flooring, and if the boards are not aligned or if certain tools were used that are not in the installation guide to force the flooring to click, this can make the flooring more prone to chipping on the edges. It is also important to protect your floor by putting felt pads on your furniture and trying to avoid dragging or dropping heavy objects onto the laminate. If you have any other questions about this item, please contact us at techsupport@selectsurfaces.ca or 1-855-250-8167. Thank you, Select Surfaces

Flooring made simple

I purchased 14 cases of this Pearl Grey flooring for a bedroom and adjoining closet project, and I must say, this flooring was quite easy to install, hint, take your time, make sure long side is in the adjoining grove and butted up super tight nest to the piece you just laid down and then push down hard till you hear that snap! that means it’s secured down. Having the foam backing also helps in the cost of installing this, so make sure you take that into consideration if comparing to other brands. I Did a 12x14 rooms and closet in about 8 hours working all by myself. Strongly recommend this flooring.

Don’t Buy!!!!

This flooring is beautiful when laid down. The flooring is thick planks giving you the impression that it is durable but it’s not. This is basically thick cardboard, it expands when wet if you have a spill or something leak it will cause your floors to buckle. I had to learn the hard way, you may save some in the beginning but it will cost you more to have to replace your floors in 3-4 years

Hello, We’re sorry to hear about your experience with our flooring. What you’re describing is unusual as our SpillDefense flooring is tested to withstand water spills up to 24hrs, while our laminates are resistant to spills and splashes, they are not resistant to flooding or contact with a large amount of water. It is important to follow the installation instructions carefully when installing your floors to prevent water damage. Feel Free to contact our customer service team if you have any questions. Thank you, Select Surfaces.

Waste of money

Do not buy! Had for 3 years now and they don't hold up. If something falls on the floor a big chunk of floor chips off. They're not 24h water proof as we had a water spill not even close to being on the floor 24h and the flooring bubbled. We have 3 kids and a big dog but these floors are not holding up at all.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve encountered over the past few years with your Pearl Gray SpillDefense laminate.

Please reach out to our technical support team at techsupport&#64;selectsurfaces.ca or call 1‑855‑250‑8167.

Laminate Flooring

I just purchased this flooring and looking forward to having it installed this week. One question I have is do you need underlayment with this flooring over tile, on concrete floors, etc? Is it required since there is padding on the laminate? Please advise.

reply from Select Surfaces

Hello, Yes, a 6 mil (0.15mm) vapor barrier must be installed on top of it before placing the laminate flooring. Please make sure to read the installation guide on the box before installing, If you need any additional information related to installation, contact techsupport@selectsurfaces.ca or 1-855-250-8167. Thank you, Select Surfaces

Looks great!

I've installed about 4 or 5 different types of laminated wood flooring over the years and this one's similar to the rest. Installed very easily and looks great. The locking system appears to be pretty solid. I laid about 65 sq ft in a 9x8 bathroom in about 2 hours making cuts around the toilet flange, vanity, door, and shower. Easy Peazy.
