If you have info or personal experiences I'd love to hear them.

I believe just one company approves its laminate for water resistance
between boards. frankly I dont like the sound of laminate we decided
to refinish our existing near 60 year old floors, probabhly next
summer.

where we live during refinishing is issue my wife has asthma and we
have dogs
