Looking for laminate wood flooring advice

[Jason Seward]

Im shopping flooring options for new rental. 1300 sqft and Im thinking of laminate wood for whole house(including kitchen and baths) Any advice/recommendations for options that work well for whole home coverage would be appreciated. Thanks

I would personally recommend vinyl wood plank over wood laminate as it's more durable and resistant to water.

Wood laminate is typically made out of thin particle board, and any water will damage it pretty easily. Vinyl on the other hand is a lot more resilient and won't warp with water damage. It's also harder to chip and can take more of a beating.

You can find cheap vinyl plank that looks like the same as wood laminate too.
