Low VOC waterproof laminate - Evoc, Hartco, Eternity?

Mary Orchid

Hi everyone,


I decided to do engineered wood for the bedrooms. However, for the open kitchen-living room area I want to buy waterproof laminate, which will be less maintenance. I have two young kids and cook lot. I want laminate that is low VOC (preferably green guard gold certified), natural wood (warmer tone) colour. I like evoke surge (lauren colour), hartco laminate as well as one I saw that was with eterniy brand (aquafi). They are all nee collections, can’t seem to find reviews. I also might consider pergo but it was floorscore certification, not green guard. I’d appreciatw your inputs. Thanks!

    There are engineered hardwood products with the same SPC core as lvp. Geowood is one. Sylvan by Flooret has a high-density core and waterproof guarantee. Link Options. Link. You can find examples at HD and Lowes. The benefits include no repeat, not stripey in tone range, a thick hardwood wear layer instead of thin vinyl and a higher quality finish affect. I don't see a reason to choose vinyl.

    Thanks Dan. I want to avoid plastic in the floors, but if I knew there was waterproof engineered wood, and it’s low VOC, I would have given it a consideration. I have already ordered the bedroom floors, just need to finalize the decision for living room-kitchen area. I definetely don’t want vynil, I am looking for high quality woodlike laminate that is scratch resistant and waterproof.
