About 3 years ago I bought the german made Kronotek flooring. I was convinced with the "water resistant" 5 level, that didn't mean much to me at first. I have had some water spillage in previous years with lamanant flooring, and was hesitant to buy it again. The price was good, and I purchased it to redue our condo in this laminate. About 6 months after installation, our HVAC clogged up, and we had a flood in the living room. After taking out the baseboards, and setting up the floor fans to dry as much as possible, I was picturing having to do the flooring once again. In about a week, the water under the flooring was almost gone. I kept everything open, and there didn't seem like there was any swelling of the floor planks. Another week, and I put the baseboards back onto the walls. Its been more than 2 years since that incident. There has been no noticeable damage from the flooding. A couple planks expanded to have a bit of spacing, which I just filled in with wood filler. You wouldn't know that I had a flood. Very happy with the Kronotek product. Consumer Carpert was great for initial product information, and their pricing was very good. I have recommended them to others.
