Hi , I’m plannjng a small extension to open up kitchen dining & allow for a small living area also . Presently I have reclaimed pine flooring that I hate ... I’d like to lift this and replace but builder has told me to do this it would be a huge job as kitchen is in on top of the pine & I would have to rip out kitchen plus pine is laid on batons. He has suggested putting down a laminate on top of the pine but I don’t like the sound of laminate when walking in it .
Anyone know of a laminate that sounds like wood ? Or have another solution for me ?

Paint/stain the pine??

If the pine flooring is in reasonable condition and thick enough, get it sanded and stained to whatever finish takes your fancy

We have Kronoswiss laminate 14mm, it feels very like wood

I put down a 12mm laminate oak floor over existing timber floor (with 3mm foil backed underlay). It looks great and doesn’t have the usual “clicky’ Laminate floor sound.

A Toe-Kick saw was invented for this very job.
