STAY AWAY FROM LAMINATE! Laminate floors, including the Trafficmaster
Allure recommended by /benick/, are simply a paper or vinyl image of
wood over particle board or some such, and will NOT handle being
scuffed, scratched or dinged. They're fine for light traffic areas
like in your own home where you can care for them, but you have no
control over how your tenant(s) take care of the floors. The same can
be said for some engineered flooring, which is a thin-thin-thin layer
of the real wood over particle or fiber board and any damage cannot
simply be filled in or buffed out.




You obviously don't know what you are talking about...The flooring I talked
about is VINYL..It is NOT paper over wood , partical board or plastic....It
is VERY durable and flexable , almost rubbery ,with adhesive edges that when
put together form a WATERPROOF floor..It can even be used in GARAGES.....It
is nearly indestructable which makes it perfect for an APARTMENT , in case
you've forgotten what this thread is about...GESH , atleast TRY to find out
about what you're talking about BEFORE you spout off at the mouth , lest you
make as ass of yourself as you just did.......
