"Look for quick step laminate, or any Belgium laminate.
Mainly good laminate which could stay looking new even after lon time of using it. And if water goes between the tiles still the edges stay level without having any high edges.
But still vinyle click is better than laminate."

"Lvt is not laminate, it stands for Luxury Vinyl Tiles and it's made of plastic, it does have many advantages like sound proof effect, water proof, and scratch resistant, but the quality of laminate flooring comes from the type of wood used, the thickness, it matters if it has a double-click, and most importantly the surface finish quality/protective layer"

"gloss laminate is very easy to spot and marks unfortunately I always send free samples for customers to test them selves with items such as a small stone or even a knife also test it by leaving in water to see how well it is"
