Re: MDO questions...
I have recently installed one of these floors, and I compared
every brand that Home Depot, Lowes, and local independent
dealers sell. Pergo appeared to be similar to Masonite. None the
samples of flooring I saw were MDO or MDO quality, although
the better ones are based on interior grade plywood. Enough
pieces to equal the area of a sheet of MDO would cost more as
well. If one really wants to built a boat out of little scraps of wood,
strip planking with plain lumber would be the way to go.

The answer is no the florings are compleatly different and if you
test them they are not that stable. The flooring gets its
waterproofnes from its surface and glued joints the back is often
with voids or special HDF (High Dsnsity Fiberboard). long term it
will break down in even a house.

Is MDO used in the new waterproof laminate floors?
I recently purchased a pallet of the stuff, and (undecorated) MDO
appeared to be used as a pallet shim. Got me thinking. Is MDO used
as the base for the laminate flooring...
Think of this... Boats made out of Pergo planking!
