Hi, We&#39;re very sorry to hear about your experience. Because the SpillDefense laminates have an AC4 traffic rating, chipping and peeling should not occur with normal residential use. Chipping, peeling or cracking are usually a result of either water damage or dragging furniture. Please reach out to us at 1-855-250-8167 or techsupport&#64;selectsurfaces.ca so we can further assist you with this issue. Thank you, Select Surfaces
