Questions
Is laminate waterproof?
Laminate flooring offers some degree of waterproof protection.
Is laminate always cheaper than LVP or hardwood?
Not necessarily. Prices overlap across categories. Compare exact products and the complete installed scope.
Can damaged planks be replaced?
Repair depends on product availability, installation method, location of the damage, access, matching, and whether disassembly would affect surrounding material. Keep attic stock when practical and permitted by the agreement.
