2mm vinyl plank flooring
Anyone have experience with vinyl plank flooring? I've been hearing about it as a durable option for rentals. 4mm seems to be the standard. But 2mm can be had for about $1/square ft. Anyone use 2mm? Any issues?

You get what you pay for with this type of flooring. Most of the thicker stuff will not telegraph imperfections with the flooring below. I put Crown Lake down (5.5mm) right over some rolled vinyl flooring that had chipped up. You couldn't even tell where those chips were after installation. We ran right from the kitchen (with rolled vinyl) into the living space (with just a subfloor) and the threshold dip is not noticeable to the eye (but you can feel it if you stand on the threshold area). Spend the extra money for a quality product. It will last longer and show less.
