If so, manufacturers will not honor any warranty.
No, the guy that had it said there was a soft spot in the floor. He fixed it............

The floor is pretty flat. I was just looking to have something over it that would be some what stiff to help absorb the stress of walking.

The vinyl is soft and thin, all your weight goes right through. I would think with the laminate since its harder and thicker, it would disperse the stress and weight better.

As far as the warranty goes, I'm not concerned about it. Its such a small space.
