For those who were involved in the great laminate flooring debate (and
you know who you are even if I can't remember), I have some further
information after finding someone who is more than a sales droid to
talk to about the matter. There are still differences in laminates
even though basically all of them use the interlocking system instead
of the glue down system. The reason some people still don't like
Pergo as well is that they use a glue to secure the seams. Most other
brands use a wax bead system, which works better at keeping water and
other moisture (r.p.d'ers know what I mean here) from damaging the
floor. There are also differences in how the laminate is bonded that
affect how it holds up to denting, flaking and several other things
that I can't remember. There are bonding process differences among
lines the various manufacturers put out as well as among brands. So
now you know...the rest of the story.
