Laminate Aqua Step (Aqua-Step)

Reading the previous reviews, I come to bewilderment ... how can a flashlight swell with moisture? !! Laminate was laid 5 years ago per 100 square meters. m., sometimes I’m absent for a long time at home, and a neighbor is watching over my cats, upon returning I take a Karcher washing vacuum cleaner and tear out the whole apartment.

The choice in favor of this laminate was made not only because of its moisture resistance, but because throughout the apartment there is a water heated floor and this laminate has internal grooves for even distribution of heat. For 5 years, not a single scratch from the cat's claws (and my cats are worn like horses, even more, they ride it on their claws!), Everything is perfect under the roller chairs, but what can I say, it was tested at McDonald's. Its only drawback was immediately identified and eliminated, a small chip formed during a strong point impact (the cat threw a heavy figurine from the shelf), my chip is quite noticeable, because I’ll pay attention, the color of the coating of the plastic laminate is light, the base itself is dark gray, it has penetrated to the base.

Perhaps I will not advise him to lay in the kitchen for those mistresses who often beat dishes, because chips can form, I have sooooo very rare beats, no chips. I admit that the authors of the previous reviews made a mistake in the title, because Now on sale there are many offers of moisture-resistant laminate, but if it is not plastic, then, of course, you can’t pour water on it anyway ...

By the way, the laminate was laid in 3 to the apartment without interior transitions, except for the kitchen, because the laminate with a tile pattern was selected for the kitchen, it turned out that these “puzzles” did not fit together, I had to put in a plan, which really infuriates, but this is a designer’s mistake ...

100% moisture resistant, no scratches

With a strong point impact, a chip may form.

So I once fell into this expensive laminate. I bought an apartment and decided not to skimp on repairs, especially in the kitchen, which my wife really loves. I don’t even want to remember at what price I got to cover the whole kitchen, but then I was sure that the end justifies the means. When the consultant painted me all its advantages, it turned out that this laminate could withstand everything, almost a nuclear strike. However, in our kitchen he did not live even 3 months, despite the fact that he was treated with care. Small swellings went along the edges, cracks became visible, apparently water for any laminate is death. I thought I got a fake, but now I realized that I'm not the only one so deceived.

looks good

very expensive, not high quality

After we decided to buy the Aqua Step laminate, almost a year passed.I had never understood this before. what we bought a low-quality laminate. Caught in advertising, like many, they believed that the more expensive, the better. In appearance, he is really very good, this laminate. When bed, could not get enough. The apartment just played, but not for long. It was stated that it is simply heavy-duty. but it turned out exactly the opposite. When a family lives, then everything happens: where the water spilled, where something fell on it. So there is no such place where there would be no traces. Now, because of this purchase, I don’t have confidence in any laminate.

Nice

Expensive and poor quality

I thought that if any thing is expensive, then its quality should be appropriate. But this rule does not apply to this laminate!
In general, I paid a lot of money for a terrible laminate flooring. I laid it all over the apartment, the bathroom is still more or less, but the corridor looks just disgusting! Subsequently, he wiped all the way to white stripes, it's just awful! Let the laminate not be afraid of water, but for such a price it was possible to make an adequate quality so that it was durable, resistant and did not wear out. In short, it was throwing money away, and do not take this aqua step, you will only regret it.

Water resistant

Wear out quickly

We have two little kids. They run around the house, can spill water, scratch the floor with toys, in general, arrange for him a full test drive. When choosing a floor covering were guided by environmental friendliness and durability. They decided not to save on quality. The more expensive the better. But not always. Installed laminate Aqua Step. The color went perfectly with our interior. But ... Two months later, this vaunted waterproof park began to swell near the place where we usually put highchairs. Water-resistant parquet, which is not afraid of floods, began to swell from spilled tea or juice. And one more thing: there are scuffs in places where we often go. There is no limit to our disappointment.

Beautiful colors

dear, not high quality

I did not see anything qualitative in this laminate. My friend advised to buy it, who advertised it almost as if he had personally developed it and was sure of its reliability. I needed to lay it in the kitchen, not the wettest place I can tell. I hired builders from a good company who already on the spot suggested a senseless overpayment, but I reacted to their words. Paid a lot of money for me, plus assembly, hoped enough for 10 years, that thought and lived.

After 3 months, after laying the laminate, I came home, and my washing machine broke down, and the water was in the kitchen on the floor, but not on a catastrophic scale, and the much-praised laminate was bent from the water. Someone will say that I myself am to blame, but why then the manufacturer and sellers of luxury stores do not warn about the amount of water that this invention can withstand? And now I live with a crumpled laminate, because I have no money to buy a new one. Promoted thanks to advertising and no more.

no positive qualities

not high quality, expensive

When I made repairs in the bathroom, I was looking for a waterproof laminate. I read on some site that, in principle, not a bad laminate Aqua-Step. Therefore, he ordered it. The price is certainly quite high, but I thought, since it’s really good, then you can’t save. Waited for delivery. I did the repair myself, so oh, how I suffered. I have experience in laying flooring; I did the repair myself in the room. But this horror is some marriage after marriage, then a crooked board, then in different ends of it - different widths.

Well, okay, tormented, but still did everything. Less than a month later, the laminate began to swell, and a dent began to form in some places. After 4 months, scuffs appeared. Well this is a nightmare !! I bought AquaStep - Wood 4V. Now again, it is necessary to change the flooring, so that I got the money well. I do not recommend this nightmare to anyone.

Not

Expensive, not high quality.

Laminate Aqua-Step was purchased on the advice of friends who could not boast that this choice is the best solution for the kitchen floor.

I can’t say that it is globally different from Kronotex laminate, installed in other rooms and the hallway, perhaps, really only with excellent resistance to moisture. Of course, the price is a bit high, but given that it is purchased in a single room, it is not at all so expensive.

Well, when choosing Aqua-Step, they were also guided by technical specifications. Since the house has a small child, it was very bribing that the material is considered environmentally friendly and retains heat well. In addition, it is easy to care for, you can wipe and wash without worrying about the usual problem of a conventional laminate.
Already the second year of use has gone, so far no problems and not the slightest disappointment.

Easy care, water resistant.

pretty high cost.

For the second year in my house in the bathroom, Aqua Step coating (Belgium) has served faithfully. The design of the bathroom is designed in the style of "day-night", combining black with white. For the floor I chose the color Antracite Oak from the collection: Original. It looks gorgeous.

For two years there have been many situations that give me every right to give this brand an excellent mark. Often it was poured with water (and not only cold), glue was poured, a can of paint was broken - in all these cases, the laminate passed the strength test with dignity.

Recently I heard from a friend who also laid the Aqua Step laminate, a lot of complaints. Not too lazy, went up to him to make sure of their authenticity. When I saw this masterpiece, I was horrified. It turned out that he bought the laminate on the market at a very low price. Naturally, they sold him a fake, which has nothing to do with Aqua Step. Therefore, I want to warn you: buy laminate flooring only at specialized points of sale.

excellent water resistance, beautiful in appearance

I would like cheaper

I was asked to help in choosing and installing flooring for a voluminous bathroom. My recommendations were limited to the Aqua Step laminate, reliable Belgian manufacturers. I have not been working with this material for the first year, I used it to cover different sexes, so I boldly got down to work. This is a waterproof, well-absorbing noise, strong, beautiful-looking laminate.

The basis of the laminate is food plastic, which is absolutely safe and environmentally friendly. I alone did a great job with the installation, the installation did not take much time. My work was appreciated, customers were satisfied. After a while I asked how the laminate showed itself in practice? In response, I did not hear any complaints or complaints.

increased moisture resistance, easy to use
