Trafficmaster VS Lifeproof

[Ezra Henderson]

Have any of you guys used both these vinyl plank products? I'm in the middle of a 215k ARV Fix & Flip, and am wondering which product to go with. Trafficmaster is far cheaper at around $2.29 per sqft, while Lifeproof is $3.49 per sqft. Obviously I would prefer to save money, but I don't want to go with the cheaper one if the other is far superior. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi @Ezra Henderson I did a remodel 9 months ago and I used Trafficmaster. So far, it looks great just like it did when I installed it. I dragged a fridge across it the first day after install (shouldn't have) but it left no scratch. Even though Trafficmaster is cheaper compared to Lifeproof, it is in the mid range as there are some that are as low as $1.50 per sqft. If you need a higher degree of sound insulation, Lifeproof has an overall thicker profile. If you are still unsure, buy a box of each and do a test fit and return the one you decide not to use. If you are patient, they typically will put some on sale in the middle of the store every few months.
