Ahh but read the warnings about laminate getting wet.
I know someome who had to replace part of a floor when a dishwasher
leaked. Google is your friend. Have you tried it?


Some laminate is virtually impervious to water.

I took a strip and soaked it in a glass of tap water for a MONTH. Using a
micrometer, there was swelling of about 2% compared to the original, no
de-lamination, no detectable problem.
