Moog5050 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) So we decided to update the house from the mid 90s red oak flooring and stairways. Talked to our flooring guy and he highly recommend LVT (they really are planks) over refinishing hardwoods. Has a look of hardwoods, textured but waterproof and a breeze to maintain. Also a bit softer to walk on and very scratch resistant unlike hardwoods. After doing our main living area, we liked it so much, we had them do the rest of the house. Frankly, if you are handy and have the time, it’s not a hard install. We were doing too many square feet to tackle it myself. Highly recommended! I have a feeling this flooring will outlast me Edited January 15, 2023 by Moog5050 nywaw, Doebuck1234, Lawdwaz and 9 others 12
grampy Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 That's the same flooring we have throughout our 'new' place! We absolutely love it. So easy to keep clean, and almost indestructible! They did a great job at your home Brian, and it really looks great!!!! Moog5050 and 9jNYstarkOH 1 1
Robhuntandfish Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 That looks great guys. I had the foundation redone on my house and the whole subfloor and sill in the dining nook. Hoping in the spring to redo the flooring in the there and the kitchen. "it's pointless for humans to paint scenes of nature when they can go outside and stand in it"- Ron Swanson

Keith Nehrke Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 About ten years ago, we used hand-scraped walnut to finish most of the downstairs, and while it looked (and still looks) great, I wish after this latest dog that we'd gone LVP. He doesn't do anything at half-speed. Four years of tearing around the place has scratched it up pretty good.
Farflung Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 did 1/2 our house in it maybe 10 years ago. Have the materials to do the other half. Great stuff, just be careful of water on it.
sbuff Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 We had ours installed ,but if I had time I'd tackle myself
TimberGhost Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Looks great fellas , in process of doing a game room with 12x 24 vinyl ,it’s so easy to put down & quick.
