Has anybody tried to lay Homebase wood effect laminate flooring, the one that costs around five or six pounds a metre? I've bought this stuff and even with the laying kit, the short joins won't go together. The lenthways tongue and grooves are very tight, too, so you can't really slide the things into the correct position very easily. I'm finding I have to bang so hard to connect these things that the edge of the laminate is splitting. The floor underneath is new-ish build concrete and I've put down the right underlay. Is it me or the product? Thanks.
