Laminate kitchen floor question.?

My family room and kitchen are one large area, I am hesitant to put a laminate floor in the kitchen because of the dog running in and out of the kitchen to outdoors and getting the floor wet with snow or rain. Will that be a problem with a laminate kitchen floor?

Answer:

It can be if you don t take precautions..You can t get water on it with out wiping it up right away..Standard size dog usually isn t a problem,but large energetic dogs with large nails can be..Rugs and not getting water ( from the sink also) is a big help..GL
It could be. Friend of mine with the same situation has laminate floor only 3 years old that's been affected by dogs running in and out with wet feet. You'd be better off with vinyl.
Laminate flooring is a bad idea in any area subject to standing water. The water will get under the flooring and cause it to warp and buckle. The same holds true for wood plank flooring.
