i've done tons of installs, just a few tips...........
- if you plan to live there, spend the extra money and get engineered rather then laminate.
- thicker is supposed to be better (12mm), however i gota say its not as easy to install compared to a 10mm. i did a home that was 10mm and it was a breeze
- the type of hardwood you want is thin and long, comes in one colour, then you dye it the colour of your choice afterwards. everything else is garbage. i've done tons of installs, that type is the best (its been a long night i forgot what the type is called)
- overtime the joints will come apart when the house moves, i find that the flat+wide+short type comes apart the easiest
theres tons of other stuff but floating floor is probably the easiest install you can do. when i enter homes i do see gaps though just because the quality of flooring isn't that good
