We would like to replace our carpets with wood laminate. We have 3 boys that track lots of dirt, and I am constantly cleaning my carpets. We were wondering if wood laminate is the way to go? Is it pretty durable as well does it scratch easily? Thank you in advance!

Laminates wear very well BUT grit (sand) brought in from the play ground isn't good. A good and fairly large entry rug will mitigate some of the "stuff" that boys track in.
