Laminate flooring in a kitchen

Hi,
My 1972 Premier has a very open floor plan and as it is also very tiny I had wanted to use the same wood laminate flooring throughout (except the bathroom). I've researched using laminate in the kitchen - and some are for; some not so much! Would gluing the edges together improve water resistance...or just make it a real hassle should I need to repair the floor should the kitchen flood?

Thanks,
Shelley
Golden, BC

I have Laminate in the kitchen, both bathrooms and in front of the door with no problems. I think if you buy a QUALITY flooring and wipe up standing water you will be fine.

The first room i put laminate flooring was my bath, the under layment also gives and extra vapor barrier and insulates somewhat. have it down 3 years now with no issues. as greg said wipe up the water ,and no worries.
