That's basically what I'm going to be putting down. They're planks that are roughly 5' x 1' that snap together.

So it's not laminate

Laminate is that sheet of vinyl flooring that you glue to a subfloor.

edit: I'm thinking of linoleum.

Wrong.. it is a form of laminate.

The laminate you are referring to is VINYL Laminate.

It's called a laminate because a the to layer is sheet of HARD SURFACE with wood imprint/design that's "laminated" onto a composite "wood" plank.

BTW, a 10 x 10 room should take you no more than 2 hrs. Make sure you stagger the planks or you'll end up with 1 straight line accross the floor.
