Laminate in kitchen

unstoppable6t2

Hi all,

I want to have wooden flooring in my open plan lounge/kitchen in my flat. It's not very big (3mx8m). Can I get away with having the following laminate flooring throughout including the kitchen or would it be better to have something more suitable for the kitchen area?

Thanks.

I don’t think that is suitable for areas that may get wet?

Have you looked at wood effect LVT for the whole lot, rather than laminate? (Presuming you want the same flooring throughout)

Wet areas and laminate does not really work, the floor has to be kept dry. Although some wood laminate is advertised as more liquid friendly.
Company called Finesse do waterproof plank flooring that looks like wood laminate but its pvc for kitchens and bathrooms.

Looks interesting but regrettably imports to the UK are suspended for now. 3 guesses as to why.
