My problem is laminate, in a KITCHEN???? No way, no how, never!


I agree , but maybe budget constraints are the issue...Still I would
have
used vinyl first..JMHO....

Agreed. Laminate is NEVER appropriate for a kitchen. Unless you never,
ever
use it. I have several friends with McMansions and their kitchen counters
and appliances are the only dusty surfaces - they never, ever cook.
Bizarre!

Sheesh. You're pretty venomous about this, huh? G.F. installed laminate
in her kitchen herself, with nothing but a booklet to guide her. Looks
like new after five years, and that's for a kitchen that gets lived in,
including twin preteen boys. If you're not a ****ing pig, laminate is
fine, as long as you like the look of it.



Ummm , and you're not venomous about it ?? So you have smart girlfriend with
2 perfect kids...Good for you and them..It still doesn't diminish the fact
that laminate doesn't play well with liquids...You know , things like a
spilled dogs water dish while asleep or away for a few hours , or a
dishwasher or ice maker leak , or any other accident...It doesn't mean
you're a pig...Or perhaps you were looking in the mirror at the time ???
