The DuPont Real Touch Elite Brazilian Cherry 10mm Thick x 11-17/32 in. Wide x 46-31/63 in. Long Laminate Flooring features a glueless floating-click system and an attached, noise-reducing underlayment for fast and easy installation over both concrete- and wooden subfloors. This flooring may be installed in above-, on- or below-grade applications, and each plank is equipped with a micro-bevel edge. The medium tone and embossed texture impart the beautiful and timeless look of real wood to complement a host of decors. It is designed exclusively for residential use.
I first installed this flooring in a walk-in closet that our cats had started using as a litter box. I spent more time ripping out the old carpet and cleaning and preparing the subfloor (bleach, peroxide, baking soda, Zinsser BIN sealant) than installing the floor.
Installation wasn't bad at all (I'm another female who did it by myself) and installation got easier with each new piece. I used a jigsaw (and two boxes of cat litter as a sawhorse) to cut the pieces to length.
The floor looks great, and I have since done a bedroom and plan to do my study. So far with the new floor and some cat repellent spray, the cats are leaving the closet alone. :)
I also recommend the matching moulding kit - it makes nice, neat edges.
