@toddforney5198 2 года назад

We put down engineered hardwood in a living room/dining room area some years ago. With 3 kids and 2 dogs, it was scratched and dented in under 6 months, and it was time to hit the redo button. We went with Mannington vinyl plank flooring (and, no, I don't work for the company). It looks (almost) like real wood with the grain and all. Fast forward 4 years, and it looks like we put it down yesterday. (And, yes, those darned 3 kids, all their friends, and the dogs are still in the house.) Nothing lasts forever, but I'm favorably impressed. Tip #1 for those who decide to use wood grained vinyl plank: Each box will have a differing variety of faux wood grains. However, the patterns do repeat. Keep an eye on mixing them up as you lay them down so you don't end up with the same patterns next to each other. Tip #2: If you're covering a relatively large area (and are buying a correspondingly large number of cases of plank), it is possible that the die lots will vary from case to case. Open up several boxes and mix up the planks from them as you go. Otherwise, you could end up with a bunch of slightly lighter ones in one area of the room and a grouping of slightly darker ones in another section.

@manilamartin1001 2 года назад

I was starting my career as a florring contractor back in the day. You are an amazing explainer. We used the cheap stuff in apts. The good stuff went into houses. We included padding in the price. We wouldnt install unless it was done correctly. And I am not a big fan of the hd or lowes vinyl. I preferred pergo or armstrong.

@ChrisPyle 2 года назад

You can get Pergo at Lowes now. $4.29 a square foot for their higher end waterproof, mold resistant 20+ mil wear layer and built in padding. I haven’t tried their cheaper stuff but there are tons of options just that brand alone. Quick story, I went to a local high end flooring store on a previous remodel last year and spent a little more per square foot ($4.79) for “luxury” vinyl but really cant see any extra quality or Value, expect for ease of installation. The tabs were extremely tough so if you aren’t used to installing it, it’s very forgiving as they resists breaking off, even in tight places or from a pull bar. The brand was Mannington I believe, it shows every little scratch (was a darker color to be fair) and was identical in every other way that matters (thickness, padding, wear layers durability etc.) The Pergo seems like a better deal overall because the buyer doesn’t care how easy it was to put down and it’s your own fault if you damage a ton of material putting it down lol. I don’t care for how the Pergo connects as much during install personally as it doesn’t lay down as nicely as it connects. With other stuff, you could tell for sure if the boards were 100% connected properly (I may have ocd with things like that, but I’m not the only one by far) but for the money I’m just using the Pergo going forward. Plus I think more people have heard of the Pergo brand name if you’re flipping a house or plan to sell in the near future. Anyway, fun reading all the points of view and opinions. Cheers! 🍻🍻🍻

Mate I’m in flooring. Don’t buy hybrid. Seriously just stay away from it. The issues are so bad with locking systems and sunlight etc. it’s a temperature reactive product and we have huge swings in temp every day! I sell these and I would say to stay away from it. If you want vinyl go glue down planks. If you want a floating floor go a European waterproof laminate.

@TheNewps Год назад

Just finishing up my third room with Home Depot Lifeproof 7mm. Installed the flooring directly onto the concrete stab in all three rooms. I'm in CA so I am not sure what works in different parts of the county. As long as the floor is flat there is no need for padding underneath the flooring. In fact I prefer it because with padding it makes the floor sound clickie. Straight on to the concrete slab is quiet and there is still some cushion in the flooring. It also already has the vapor barrier built into it. 1st room was 5 years ago, lots of traffic, no issues whatsoever, still looks great. 2nd room was 2 years ago, again no issues whatsoever either. Right now at HD is $65 for 20 square feet, $3.25 per square foot.

I know you aren't an expert on everything but you relate pretty well to the average person. In conjunction with others I use your channel to help me with almost everything on my house whenever I question my abilities on any particular task. Then I call my father who is a Civil Engineer and has renovated many of his own homes throughout the years. The engineer's mind is a wondrous thing. You don't always have to do things by the book. And often times, as long as you actually know what you are doing, there's better and more affordable but still sound ways to do things. I don't know your background professionally outside of this channel, but your suggestions usually jive with my father and that's a compliment considering he's an accomplished building engineer.

@Jason-ir5ig 3 года назад

I'm not sure if it was actually mentioned, but WPC and SPC stand for wood-plastic composite and stone-plastic composite, respectively. WPC is supposed to have a slightly more cushioned feel when walking on it, which also makes footsteps quieter. SPC is generally thinner and often more expensive than WPC, and it is marketed as having better impact resistance.

At HD the staff wants to help you I'm certain; however, they don't get paid a lot. I'm certain they are selfless and wish to benefit the customer, but some depts. seem to incentivize them - some of them might try to sell you more costly materials. Just do your due diligence and spend some time checking out materials. You may get a lot that's limited in size, but it's marked down to close it our OR there may be a promotion or sale that gets you into better choices.

@BB-qi2wm Год назад

Use Lifeproof. I’ve installed @ 100k feet, in less than ideal conditions, without a single issue. Never had an unhappy customer. A contractor that knows the difference between Lifeproof and the cheaper options will charge you a justified surface prep, just to hopefully get your surface within tolerances that the cheaper alternatives require for a successful installation. Then be ready for “installer error/ end user neglect” accusations from the manufacturer when the cheap option fails. Keyword: LVP failures. Most times the manufacturer will provide more junk floor to replace the previous failure, but their instructions are getting exceedingly difficult and EXPENSIVE to follow, as to limit their liability for making a finicky, faulty product

@cabey2082 Год назад

Another thing to consider when getting to the 3.50/sq.ft price point other than moving to maybe hardwoods, is that vinyl planks are easier to transport, lighter, less package volume, and I don't think they have to acclimatize inside your as long before install.

@jamesdsmith1217 Год назад

every floor SHOULD be acclimatized but vinyl is the only floor that can be installed with very limited acclimation period

@mynameisprivate158 4 месяца назад

IDK what vinyl floor you have seen but the Stainmater pet safe vinyl flooring I just installed was about 30 lbs per box and one box only has 8 planks in it! It is stone core waterproof vinyl and it is not light at all.

@AKJammer1 2 года назад

I'm surprised you didn't mention the difference between WPC and SPC. As I've researched it, WPC (wood pulp core) is a mixture of sawdust and plastic to form the thick central core. It's good stuff and works well, but it will dent if you bang it. SPC (stone pulp core) is basically constructed the same, but has sand mixed with the plastic. Sand is cheaper than sawdust, so the product is usually a bit less expensive. It also will not dent. I've pounded on it with a hammer and can't leave a mark on it. I've put down several floors over the years as the products have evolved. SPC plank is by far the best way to go.

Good review. LVP Floor notes: Big box stores generally = lower quality & lower spec products. Research before you buy. Visit flooring stores. You will see a difference in range & specifications. Decorner flooring you noted looks acceptable but specs on website less complete Vs. others. Karndean flooring is my first choice for LVP. Have purchased & installed before & will again. Part of any design choice should start with what do you want to see, and how do you want to see it. The Karndean Korlok plank uses photograph quality floor images, micro wood grain surface texture, .55mm top wear layer, 6.5mm thick with padded base, no underlay needed. Basement concrete floors are of course a different beast, subfloor separation away from concrete, often essential. (20 mils>mm = 0.508 mm)

A fantastic informative vid👍 I popped into a shop today they told me it is beneficial to glue the lvt click boards down. Also they mentioned it's not wood so it doesn't expand so can fit it right to the wall. it would be great to know if this is the case

Is this a good store? I just realize I have one not far from me. They carry good brands for flooring?

@unjaschmidt9363 3 года назад

I was thrilled to finally having found the kind of review video that I was looking for. Liked the way it was presented. The result, though, was that I felt so disillusioned and discouraged about vinyl flooring that I ended up going back to tile flooring. 😥

@keithderr9564 2 года назад

Jeff, Many thanks again! We are prepping to order our flooring and I new you'd have a video telling me everything I needed to know. You have not steered me wrong throughout our entire basement project! Too bad I couldn't get the floor from you. But we do have Floor and Decor's in my area... your suggestions on the vapor barrier greatly appreciate. The "normal" suggested products just didn't seem like they were a quality product... so thanks for the practical solution. I've even had two different retailers tell me I did not need a vapor barrier on my bare concrete basement floor because the flooring came with it. So again... thanks for the pro tips to help us be informed as we shop!

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 года назад

I had picked up a couple of different samples of the laminate planks at my local Menards before I saw this video. After watching the video I took another look at the samples one was 5mm and the other was 4mm. Interestingly I noticed that the 4mm samples were bowed upward between the locking joints so that each piece would flex downward in the center putting stress on the locking joints. The two 5mm samples lay flat with no deflection in the center. Really appreciated you pointing that out.

@tonyag69 2 года назад

My contractor went shopping with me when we were picking out our laminate floor and he had us go with the pergo higher end floor with a lifetime warranty. That was five year's ago and our floor still looks brand new. I'm glad he took the time to go with me because my husband wanted to buy the cheapest floor out there.

I've learned that sometimes it's best to put the money out, in the first place! Instead of putting in the cheap stuff, and then spending the money for the good stuff, it can save you money 💵.

@dennishassler605 Год назад

I bought the cheapest tile, because it was on sale, but 20 years later it's got cracks, chips and the grout looks terrible - so maybe I'll lay something over it.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for bringing the "wear layer" to our attention. I wanted to supplement this video by mentioning that manufacturers disclose this by using the measurement "mils" - which is a measure of vinyl thickness. A mil is 0.0254 mm which is 1/1000 of an inch. I have seen product for sale on the thin side of 3 mil and the thickest I found was 30 mil. Everyone should definitely be looking for these numbers to see how thick their wear layer is. A cheap plastic trash bag is 1.7 mil thick ... so be careful ...

@maniswil2 2 года назад

IT's mostly meaningless unless you have big dogs or small kids. Sell a million feet of this stuff a year. 12-20 mils is good enough. 20 is commercial grade. 8-6 and below is trash.

My son in law & dtr bought a home, the floor was already there, the wear layer scratches with the light bit of friction, they will be replacing it, the home is only 1 year old & floor looks awful

@@darleneprice1711 And this is what happens when builders cut corners by having cheaper flooring installed. Same thing thing happens with "builder grade" carpeting. You usually gotta upgrade sooner rather than later.

This was very informative. The reason I haven't bought anything for my flooring yet is all of the misinformation. This helped clear up a few more things.
