ossify 1 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 yeah i tried all my keys on laminates, no impact. In the end i took a sharp scissors to stab it...haha..thats when i got a stare from wifey. those that i see in people's house was those one big piece kind, where one part will pop up after some time. stripes are so much better. maybe i might do it in the future. scissors is okay, i used a meat cleaver on my laminate samples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 I was not in my living room. I was testing the strength of the laminate sample QC testing for strength, then u should use a bowling ball rather than a meat cleaver. And using a meat cleaver on laminate, what strength r u talking about? Apply 10Nm of strength to see if the laminate will be chopped into 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apply 10Nm of strength to see if the laminate will be chopped into 2? actually this does make sense to me. i would test heavy objects on the laminate as chances of dropping dull but heavy items in living / bedroom is definitely higher than a meat cleaver which has no reason to be in the living room. It is a good gauge but way extreme. Having said that dropping a meat cleaver on tiles to see they chip is fair too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
