I'm not handy in the slightest, but I've decided that this summer I am going to redo the laminate floors in my main room (roughly 450sqft).
The stuff I have right now was from the previous owner, and was quite clearly the .49 cents per sqft crap. People walk across it and it leaves impressions.
What AC rating should I be looking for? Should I get AC4 stuff or should I splurge for AC5? I have 2 pets, so it needs to be tougher.
I know the technology is pretty much snap on for the most part. What problems am I going to run into if I do it myself? I don't have a ton of curves in my place aside from a semi circular bar style table to the kitchen, so apart from that half moon, I have a couple door frames and that is about it for special cuts.
My moisture barrier and lower level is fine, so I don't think I want to replace it. I am just planning to rip off the current 12mm stuff and put new stuff on top.
