Can't decide on wood look tile or Luxury vinyl planks for Kitchen!
Comments (25)I brought a sample home from Home Depot and could scratch it with my fingernail. Having said that, we went with a different brand as mentioned in my earlier post. it has a 5 mil wear layer with some kind of cerama beads, (I forget all the lingo I learned when researching ours). and I have never found a scratch on ours. We put it throughout our 1,000 sq ft cabin and also in our TV room at home. We have a 10+ lb. cat that tears around like a maniac. All claws intact. The wear layer is very important. It is recommended to put felt pads on all furniture feet. Makes for very easy moving of chairs etc. anyways. That way you shouldn't have to worry about scratches so long as there is no sand or stones lingering on the floor. But the felt pads would help minimize a problem anyways....See MoreWood-look porcelain tile or Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring?
Comments (53)I vote for floating, click, wood look, luxury vinyl plank. I especially like the style with knots and chatter marks. Lay it throughout the whole house, on the diagonal, with no thresh holds. That's what I did. I can clean the entire house in approximately five minutes with an electric leaf blower. Porcelain tile is more durable however it is more expensive to buy, more expensive to install, and more expensive to uninstall. Also, some tile is extremely slippery when wet whereas wood grain LVP is not slippery at all. Five years later I am happier than ever I chose grey driftwood luxury vinyl plank for a house with dogs, kids, beach sand, and lots of wet feet. If the house gets inundated from storm surge and ocean water gets inside, I can unclick the LVP, clean and dry the subfloor, and then reinstall the same LVP and it will look as good as new....See MoreLuxury Vinyl Plank vs. Porcelain WoodLook Plank

Comments (6)The old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." As a flooring snob, I can spot faux-wood look products within 30 seconds of walking into a house...that includes the hugs and kisses required in polite society prior to COVID distancing. If you have the ability to 'see' patterns (remember that LVP, Laminate and tiles ALL have planks that repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat, etc) than you will be very upset with the look of wood-look products. I will admit the herring bone install will HIDE the repeating pattern a bit more...but it will show itself. And that will happen in the weirdest way. Just when you feel like you've done an AMAZING job of creating the 'perfect' fake floor, you will notice TWO planks/tiles that are identical and then you will never be able to 'un-see' it. I'm a very pragmatic person. If I had the budget to enjoy a real hardwood herring bone (I wish) I would not hesitate to have it. On the other hand, my budget is 'DIY' laminate, then that's what I will work with. I will purchase the HIGHEST GRADE product I can afford so that I can get the best possible floor for my budget. But I will also realize I won't be laying wood. I will be laying photographs of wood and those photos will repeat. I'll do my best, but the repeats are still there. My personal effort to sort them, will be all I can do to contribute to the BEST looking laminate floor I can possibly get. And THAT'S what I would be happy with. And remember: a glue down is one of the few ways a vinyl floor can be laid in a herring bone install. That will increase the cost of the install as well....See MoreIRuehl
