Is laminate flooring a good option for vacation homes that are not “climate controlled” (for temperature / humidity) during most of the year? (The small print for most engineered hard – wood floors, for example, require maintaining 30-50% humidity in the room …)

Is there anyway to fix a floor that has been faded either from water damage or cleaners? this laminated wood floor is in a bathroom & the damage is in front of a shower stall.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am wondering if your laminate flooring has been treated with sealer on the edges that lock together to avoid damage of water. I have found that some of the types of laminate flooring have been “dipped” to seal the locking edges in case of water and was wondering about your floors. I have received my samples and have been very impressed with them but need to know this info prior to ordering. Thank you.
