Looking for Flooring Recommendation?

[Matt F.]

I am looking to replace the original carpeting in one of my rentals. they simply don't hold up and i am tired of replacing them ever few years, plus this is a better unit which would benefit from a nicer laminate.  anyone have recommendations on a laminate product ? Looking for something that  looks good and is durable ....something that will last a good number of years. i understand nothing is totally bombproof but as close as possible! THANKS

I just did a search on old BP posts regarding flooring for a potential future kitchen project of mine. I found this great thread that may be useful to you.  @Paula Matli had some really interesting ideas for inexpensive wood flooring that is easy to maintain and repair/replace. Check out page 3 for pictures of her floors. They glued down entire sheets of plywood, scored them to look like planks (this has been an evolving process), and put on 3 coats of poly. The floors look amazing.  Here's the link to the old thread.
