l am considering laminate flooring in my kitchen because l can install it myself.However, l am concerned about spilled water and if that will damage the flooring or the subfloor.l cook a lot, do home canning where water from washing huge quantities of vegetables can spill, and have pet cats with their water bowls in the kitchen.
Any tips you have would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I install laminate & pergo is the way to go.Between the aluminum oxide finish(makes it more resiliant to scratches & stains)to the parafin wax coating on the tongue & groove(keeps moisture out of sub floor & laminate base without gluing every piece)pergo is the best to stand up in a kitchen as well as the easiest to install.The one thing though is if u install it yourself get a 100%silicone caulking & fill ur expansion gap(1/4 around perimiter of floor)When u put ur molding up noone will ever see the silicone so u dont need to buy the colored stuff a home improvement store will try & sell you.
I have Pergo and love it! I have the older stuff that was glued together. The new stuff is snap together. Kind of a tung and groove thing. I d alot of canning and pickling and I also brew beer and have critters and never had a problem. Cleans up really easy too! The main thing to remember is to keep that 1/4 inch space from the walls. As the walls contract and expand with change of season your floor will buckle if there is no gap! Get it you will love it!
