Looks good! You do the install yourself?
How much does that run for sq/yd?

Heh, my grandma just had her kitchen and dining room re-done in a really nice wood finish. Her dogs (one has died since then ) were always slipping and sliding all over the place.

BTW: Those fangs=

we had a contractor do the install. i think after watching , i could do it no problem. mary insisted we have it done though...cause.. not amoungst my skills, is wood working... if i built a birdhouse...the birds would put a "condemed" sign on it in a heart beat!


there are many company's to choose from, and it sells by the box. each company's box covers so-many square feet. go to Lowes or Home Depot online and you can see the Pergo and others with prices... pretty reasonable for what you get. the stuff is truly amazing how durable it is...

Looks awesome Ken! I did the samw in my bedroom a few years back. Installed it myself too! I used the glued together version, as the click - n - lock was too new to try.

Just last month, I finished my hallway, kitchen, dining area, and bar. All 450 square feet! I used Dupont's new "simulated slate" stuff. This time, because it did not require gluing, it went in quicker. I love the durability.

Be forewarned...clean up water spills quickly. The limitations of this new laminate stuff is water related. If water is allowed to remain on the seams for long periods (at least 20 minutes I would presume) it can soak into the board causing swelling. Also, use very little water to mop. We use the new wet Swiffer products. Since it's a plastic compound (the floor that is), dirt and grime don't stick. Hence, a quick going over with either a damp mop, or a wet Swiffer pad, is all it takes. While I don't have wolves running around my floor, I do have two (soon to be three) rug rats tracking god knows what in from the outside. Also, get yourself a good rug by the door entrances. Most of these products use a surface which is very durable. However, sand is nearly as hard as the surface and may scratch if ground in from the bottom a shoe. A good wipe on the rug before walking across will prevent any future problems. If you see any small seams or gaps appear, I learned a neat trick that I used. Take a small amount of wood putty. I used three different shades to match the wood. Make a little ball, trying to keep the colors varying. Then, wipe the ball over the gap or seam, rubbing it in with your fingertips. The seam vanished completely, and best of all, seals up the exposed edge. Works great! Since my simulated stone floor uses gray grout lines, I use a sanded gray caulk on it and the seam vanishes. A neat trick!
