Will laminate flooring be damaged if dog pees on it and pee sits there
all day?
Laminate flooring is a tough synthetic material. If the pee just stays
on the surface, it will not be damaged. In fact, that is one of it's
main selling points.
Now, if there is a real flood of pee and it goes through joints and
gets underneath, then it's possible it could cause it to warp. But,
IMO, it would take a lot to do that, as the material is pretty
foregiving.
What about something in the middle, if the dog piddles where two
pieces come together, and it's not enough to get underneath, but it
does wet the edges of two pieces? How do you dry that out, and will
it cause damage.
I took a couple piece of Pergo flooring home once for a few days to
think about it, but I don't remember what the edges are like.)
Pergo used to be glued together but now it just snaps in. That may
change its water resistance. Look around on Pergo.com a bit. Here's
one item I found:
The Pergo Warranty
All Pergo flooring is warranted against wear-through-stains and fading
and will resist water damage from everyday spills and damp mopping when
water is promptly removed. Some Pergo flooring has additional warranty
coverage. See your individual warranty details or your authorized Pergo
dealer for more information.
Also, note the Pergo is cheap. If it fails you can just rip out a
section and redo it. There is a bit of technique involved, but it can
be done.
