SwiftLock Laminate Flooring

Seams would not hold

After laying 3 rows IP gave up. Seams would not hold. Looks good but poor quality.

Swiftlock Flooring Installed 11/2011

We had Lowes install over 1000 square feet this flooring November 2011. We covered our family room, master bedroom, master bathroom and retreat. We have two large indoor dogs. The flooring has held up remarkably well with no scratches or the issues outlined in the other review. It still looks new. We did go with the premium underlay. The flooring is in a high traffic area from our garage to our kitchen. We vacuum it and then mop with a lightly wet mop of vinegar and water. Extremely satisfied

Lousy design at joint connections

I installed 1100sf on main floor of my house and for a year or two the floor was fine but the design of the end joints allows for splitting of individual planks in the high traffic areas usually in the middle of the floor. I tried gluing weak joints but failed, so I finally just stapled the row in place near the wall in the least visual area I could find. Poorly designed connect joints.
