Why not spend money on real hardwood flooring? If you decide to sell, your home will be more attractive to home buyers than those who put in cheap crappy laminate. ~Melanie



We have a dog and hardwood floors currently which are getting slowly destroyed by all the running in the house, etc. So we're looking for something more durable (with less maintenance ... ie: no refinishing needed, etc.). Thanks, Harry

Another option, though somewhat expensive (not that hardwood isn't) would be slate...rock is long lasting (providing you're not taking a hammer to it) and doesn't usually require off-gassing (depending on what you use to lay it).
