Juice - do you have a dog? I'm wondering how the floor holds up to ~90ish lbs. dog running/slipping and sliding on it.

I thought that the fiberglass held up better than the steel? Fiberglass doesn't dent when you kick it as opposed to steel. Also I know that fiberglass is more energy efficient than steel. Steel conducts heat much faster than fiberglass, allthought both have insulated core anymore so there probably is little difference. I'm not a carpenter though so I'd trust your guy.

I don't have a dog, but I would think if it was a problem, it would be pretty widespread and understood?

I think any laminate and any hardwood are susceptible to being scratched by dogs' nails, just a question of how much. If there is one out there that is dog scratch proof, it should be marketed as such. I haven't seen any, though.
