    Finally after viewing loads of floor tiles, samples, brochures and visits to show rooms I think I've finally found the one I want but I'm not familiar with the make like many other ones.
    Distinctive flooring in the colour Almond Buff colour. Anyone recommend?

    Spacey... Have you seen the new stuff? It's ace... Lifetime residential, .7 or .55, embossed in register... It's a really nice product, and our fitters are liking it - though the planks on the Landscape range are a bit "big"...

    Its not always how it looks down, it's how it stays down!

    I'd always recommend a dry-back over a click. Clicks have one good feature over drybacks though - if you're in a newbuild and your subfloor is practically perfect they can be laid with a slightly higher tolerance of dampness.

    I don’t agree with that my friend. Any damp in a subfloor will cause clic to fail. Maybe with a dpm built in underlay fully taped up and up the walls you might be ok but it crawls into clic and causes issues

    I'm not talking silly damp... You get about an extra 5-10% RH on the spec...

    5% yeah ok but stick down would probably survive that. Just have cheesy glue for a few months lol.
    I don’t know what clic your fitting over standing water neil but I think your trying to get yourself some work in Doncaster and it’s defo not moduleo or Quickstep

    Is that a lvt clic or a interlocking tile with a raised/studded base? Got underlay underneath it?

    6mm tile interlocking but water tight. No raised base.
    I've seen it abused beyond belief, with scissor lifts, forks and as above, fitted in every condition you can image.
    Very, very robust stuff.
    We also use the clic version which is also pretty amazing. Never had an issue with it.
