laminate flooring in kitchen
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 7:04 pm
Hello all- would like your advice.
After being in this old mobile home ( 1972?)for 10 years-- I am so overwhelmed by what still has to be done-- I initially spent a lot of money doing all all the important things like electrial and plumbing - new roof and skitring - replaced the entire underbelly and insulation. But most of the cosmetic things still need to be done.
I used to be able to do things myslef but got hurt ( dont fall off the roof while winter wrapping your swamp cooler!) I need help now and have no problems paying a mobile home repair company to do things.
I was thinking about just purchasing a newer upgraded home in another park- but i love my park.. After looking at many other homes-- some old homes have replaced linoleum flooring in the kitchen with laminate hard wood. Some look like crap and some are lovely and have held up well. I have a kitchen and dining room floor with old lino that needs to be replaced.. It is crazy expensive to have this done-- because of the prep work. Am condsidering the laminate..
I would get good stuff and have it professionally done by a moble home repair person who knows what they are doing..
any troubles with that ? I am not a big dripper so am thinking it would be ok in the kitchen if good product and installed properly.
Here is my concern:
My washer and dryer( dryer is gas) is located in the kitchen-- what would be the problems in putting laminate under there?
Would consider putting vinyl under them if need be.
