Bowden's laminate flooring

Does anyone have this or past experience of it please? It carries a 25yr guarantee for wear which makes me think it must be a quality product but will it be easy to clean? I was thinking of using a microfiber mop barely damp. We like the look of the Rustic Oak.

The title should be Howden's not Bowden's - Nexus playing up!

It's recommended by our very experienced joiner, we are considering the textured oak

I think it's great. It has a lot of wear and tear at mine and I steam mop it at least once a week - it's tough stuff! Our carpenter recommended it and I've been really pleased with it.

I'm so disappointed it turned out to be Howdens: I was imagining dotty laminate in a selection of vibrant combinations - purple and olive, cobalt and coral, etc.!

We're just in the process of having the oak laminate fitted throughout the house, what's down so far looks lovely and pleased to hear it stays that way!

Wow, a great response, thank you all so much! I agree that the "dotty" laminate sounds, shall we say, more exciting. However, having pored over the fab flooring catalogue, we have gone with their Professional Fast Fit V Groove Rustic Oak. The smallest bedroom is being finished as I type and looks fantastic! Thanks again to you all. The joiner says he will leave a leaflet with tips on aftercare :) These joiners, who have fitted all types of flooring, do really rate this stuff - we have engineered oak in main living areas but didn't want such an expense in rarely used rooms yet we are very impressed!
