Vinyl Plank Flooring Brands

[Brendon Kerrigan]

Hi BP Community,

Have a SFH, 2 bed 1 bath, that I am looking to install Luxury Vinyl Planking. Its only about 600 sqft of total space I need the flooring for (living room is refinished hardwood). Which brand do you prefer? I read reviews online but curious what the community thinks! I plan on buying it from HomeDepot/Lowes and hiring a local handyman to install. Lifeproof? TrafficMaster? HomeDecorators? A&A?

Thank you!

We used NuCore from Floor and Décor.  The one we got had the cork backing already.  No complaints and it was easy to install.  Waterproof so you can wet mop and *lifetime warrantee for residential use, whatever you think of warrantees.

No issues after 3 years so far.

If you install it yourself, don't listen to them about only needing that razor thing they sell -- you need a table saw for rips and a chop saw to cut.  Otherwise, easy-peasy!
