Did a laminate kitchen floor from a outlet store for a friend, very cheap and held up well until a water leak took it out.

We've got laminate warping peeling up everywhere at work where there are no water leaks... I think it can't hold up to the frequent mopping.
That sounds very unusual. Perhaps there's another problem, or perhaps a cheap knock off product, or faulty installation. Laminate is a pretty standard and widely used low end kitchen and bathroom product.
