Default Covering laminate floor in kitchen

The size is 12' x 6' and i just don't like the look of laminated floor
in the kitchen. A HAndyman recommended that I cover it with self
sticking vinyl by Armstrong for budget reasons. He said the floor is
solid, so all I need is to cover it myself. he refused to take the
job, because its so easy that I could do it, and thought it was a
crime to take the money to do it .

Removing laminate flooring is even easier than putting it down. It's not
nailed or glued - just unlock the pieces.

Save the pieces, though. They might come in handy for a small project.

That's certainly not true of all laminate. With Pergo, which is
probably the best known and leading brand, the pieces are glued
together.
