What happened to glue laminate?
Back in about the years 2000 - 2001 I built a house - new construction to live in. I really wanted Pergo flooring because it was cool back then.
The developer wanted no part of it and refused to install it.
Ok, fine I will do it after the house is done. So I just went with the basic linoleum and when I moved in I bought some Pergo. I went with the type that you used glue, the concept being it would hold up better to water getting on it.
I ended up having to sell the house and move for work, I only lived on the flooring (that I installed myself) for a few weeks before the house was no longer mine.
I have no idea how well that flooring held up, but it seems the concept of glue does not really exist anymore.
Would using a glue not provide a better seal against water damage? Water is a big killer of laminate flooring, if all you had to do was use some glue or some product to seal areas like the kitchen to provide extra durability it seems like a winning combo to me.
