What is your favorite laminate floor?

[Mindy Jensen]

One of the first flips I bought had laminate flooring in the living room, and hardwood throughout the rest of the house. I didn't like the laminate, and wanted to replace it with hardwood, but knew I'd be doing a lot of work, so that was going to be the last thing we replaced.

That laminate turned out to be the best flooring I've ever used. I dropped hammers from on top of the fridge onto that floor with no dents! (Not a planned action, it just happened.)

In a different house, I purchased and installed a really low-quality laminate, and not only was it difficult to actually install, but it also didn't last very long at all.

So landlords, what is your favorite brand of laminate floor? What stands up to the punishments your tenants dish out? I'm planning for the next property, which will be a fix-and-rent.

Thanks!
