Has anyone had any experience with this. Id like to use it in the kitchen.

It is a ceramic tile look, snap lock, but I'll glue the tounge anyway to seal out moisture.

Thanks
Anthony

Go to www.armstrong.com to learn about their products. Go to www.doityourself.com/laminate and www.azfred.com for helpful installation tips. Following manufacturer's recommendations for installation is best for maintaining warranties.

Armstrong uses the looser of the glueless joint assembly systems and it still has little room for a "glue line". While not recommended, some pros carefully add glue to a glueless joint with a small artists paint brush, being careful to avoid excess glue. Because there is a moisture barrier coating added to the edges of glueless laminate "planks" the glue may not adhere well and if it does adhere at all there will be no significant improvement in moisture resistance. In a kitchen installation, proper use of silicone is as good as it gets.
