“I must confess though. I do have Oak Laminate Wood in my kitchen, dining, great room. That is ONLY because they are completely open to each other. It would not have looked nice to have them split into tile & carpet”
I agree, it looks bigger and more impressive with the same flooring. And isn’t laminate fairly waterproof? It’s at least a whole bunch better than real wood.
“And isn’t laminate fairly waterproof?”
That was one of the reasons I went with the BRAND I did. It was guarenteed against water damage unless it was totally flooded and sat for days where the water could then soak down between the seams.
