Laminate Flooring

Yes laminate is susceptible to water. The core of the material is Medium Density Fiberboard with a paper thin picture of wood flooring on top and several layers of aluminum oxide finish.

Laminate is being phased out in the flooring industry right now by a similar material commonly known as LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank).

LVP is made from a vinyl composite so it isnt susceptible to water at all. 100% waterproof. And it is now being produced with the same locking mechanism(UNI-lin) that most laminates had/have. So it's still an easy, floating install just like laminate, but offers the resiliency of vinyl(same material in Walmart and grocery stores).

It's really a fad right now. I haven't installed laminate in well over 2 years and probably do more LVP than anything right now since the technology is advancing and it looks like real hardwood now.

Is that kinda like composite decking planks ? Artificial, expensive but worth it?

Yes. It’s a plastic/poly love child that lasts for generations. Doesn’t rot, fades a little over time, low to zero maintenance.
Trex fiberon Azek etc have really changed the decking market.

Fair Price for X Square

I found a pair of X Metal XS for $425 but the ruby lenses are TRASHED. The insides are scratched to hell and the front of one lens has a big scratch. I’d have to buy custom cut lenses. Is this still a fair price?
