Laminate flooring

[Gingey]

A Tree is a tree.

Plywood is plywood

OSB is OSB

K3 is K3

MDF is MDF

True, but they are all made of Tree, therefore, organic. We can reshape the tree into as many things as we want to, but in the end, you're still dealing with a wood product.

Thanks for the info, Red. Interesting about the particleboard vs. plywood. It's true; you can't compare hardwood vs. laminate in looks - hardwood wins hands down.

We installed Armstrong laminate flooring several years ago in our bathroom. Although we have four dogs who follow me wherever I go, the floor looks as good today as when it was installed. While the floor has never been flooded with water, there have been plenty of occasions when water has leaked out from the shower while bathing. I always wipe it up with a towel after showering, and of course do not water stand. There is no evidence of water damage on this floor.

We are purchasing a new home, and plan to replace all first floor carpet with either Armstrong or Wilsonart (the higher quality). We have done scratch tests on samples, and see no visible signs of damage. I hope this helps.

I am not sure with the brand but I have a good portion of my cabinet with laminated wood in it. I am a bit mixed in terms of going with this or not. I mean, it looks nice and very neat, which is a plus. But when a portion of it starts to chip away, that would also be the start of some form of nightmare as it could pretty much spread in the coming days or months. I think that should chipping start to be evident, you have to use fillers right away.
