Leggiero Grey Natural stone effect Laminate Flooring Sample

Overall good quality and relatively easy to fit for novices. One point I would make is picture and description is grey but there is quite a bit of brown/beige in the design so if you just want grey, go for something else

Fitted this with stevia gloss cream units and Umbria gloss brown worktops, looks spot on, as said in another review there is a match ( like patterned wallpaper it's a tile pattern without the grouted effect, line each panel to this and you will have the correct effect. Buy a fitting kit with spacers and knocking block to make sure the joints are tight, easier with 2 people because you have to fit a complete run of panels end to end and then fit into groove of previous laid boards, look on you tube for double click flooring video it will explain.

Laid 23m2 with very little problems. Random pattern makes life reasonably easy. Clicks together well.

I’ve laid a few floors over the years and this one was a little trickier than others. Something to be aware of from the outset is there’s a pattern on these planks. Just like patterned wallpaper, you’ll get a better end result if you study the repeats and cut to suit. This means a little more waste than just starting each row with the offcut from the previous row. You’ll see that each plank has one partial ‘tile’ at each end. These need to line up row to row, to create a whole large tile.
I struggled to get the first two rows together. The first row, cut in half lengthways, was bowed by about 10mm over a 3 metre length and I had to use flooring ratchet clamps to force them together, plus some judicious knocking with a mallet (protecting the click edges with an offcut of course). This might have been because the batch spent 4 or 5 weeks in a damp garage, but whatever the reason it was a real pain. What should have taken 2 minutes took well over an hour. The rest of the rows went together easily. Another poster figured out, correctly, that you have to set each plank into the previous row one by one, leaving an angle to allow you to join and align the next plank. I use wedges for this, if you keep the free edge about 30mm - 40mm up they’ll slot together easily, then you gently tap them into the long click starting at one end and working your way along. They will gradually sit down and finally lock flat.
The tricky bit: the click profile on these is not as sharp or tight as others I’ve laid. This is both a blessing and a bane. It makes it relatively easy to move a whole length to get perfect alignment, but it also means they don’t necessarily form a really tight joint. I bought this particular plank because it’s supposed to be suitable for kitchens, only time will tell if it’s sufficiently watertight.

I installed this today on a large room, very easy to install, simple cut to size, click into place. Looks great.
