Default Re: alternatives to carpet and re-doing kitchens

Hi I would recommend doing your home work before making your purchase on laminate flooring.

If you are interested in laminate I recently used IFloors.com They are in our area. The website is a very good resource to use for pricing purposes.

According to Wilsonart floors
- If you plan to use laminate in wet area like a kitchen the seams in that area should be glued even if you are using an interlock floor.
- If you have heavy items like a piano seams in that area under the floor should be glued
- All cut pieces the seams should be glued.
- There are specific kinds of laminate for potential wet areas. With Wilsonart it's their RED Label Laminate Flooring

Never use a mop on the floor I found a swifter works great

IFloors.com was about 1/2 the price of the local carpet outlets and I had great results. They also sell hardwood and carpet.
