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.......

This is a little more and is FOR GARAGES....LOL...IDIOT....


Good comment, but poor aim.

I, for one, not only know what I'm talking about, but know to whom I'm
responding.

The original post I was quoting did NOT appear on my news reader for some
reason (WLM) and only showed up in your response so I used that one after
removing your comments...Sorry about that...Next time I'll cut and
paste....I seem to lose a few posts...Sometimes the OP starts out with just
the responses and I have to read the OP in one of the responses...Why I
don't know...
