"Laminate" the tough, impermeable, stain-resistant material that now is almost universal for kitchen countertops and floors in rooms. It also makes attractive covering for kitchen and bathroom walls, tables, vanities and cabinet doors. We can apply laminate over plywood, particle board, hardboard or old laminate. Most companies give 15-20 years of warranty on different kinds of laminate/hardwood floors. Nail down or glue hardwood or click hardwood.
