Re: Cabinets On Top Of Laminate Flooring


Having just finished laying 1800 sq ft of lam today, the only part i told the HO i wouldnt warranty was in the kitchen even though it only ran up to the cabnets and was sealed along them. If they had wanted it in toilet areas the same would have applied.

hey will have you install laminates in bathrooms, it is a floating floor *NOT TEMPORARY* and will be attached by the toilet and will void the warranty.

Seems like laminate would handle water better than hardwood..
