Anyone used GoHaus (formerly GoFloors) luxury vinyl plank flooring
Comments (5)Bump. Any experience with Go Haus. They have such a great white with minimal contrast. http://www.gohaus.com/vinyl-plank-flooring/click-vinyl-plank-flooring/cascade-wpc...See MoreCOREtec Calypso Oak, Noble Oak or Pembroke Pine photos?
Comments (447)Calypso has painted bevels. I bought a different Coretec also with painted bevels. In fact, I didn’t choose Calypso, because I felt it’s painted bevels looked odd on the sample, like the color was too much of a contrast. But in all the pics I see of Calypso installed, it looks beautiful. It is definitely their most popular style for a reason. I love my floor (Gateway Hickory) but kinda wish I had gone with Calypso because it is still in production and Gateway Hickory was discontinued...See MoreSmudges/footprints/paw prints all over luxury vinyl plank flooring
Comments (112)My experience is same as Emily's. We have Lifeproof luxury vinyl planks at our seasonal mountain/lake camp. With people and dogs in and out dragging all means of forest fodder and water we haven't had an issues. We even put it in our screen room and it's gotten hit with heavy rain before we could get the blinds down. Winter temperatures there can get well into the sub-zero category-no problems. At home in our rural environment with heavy snow and mud seasons the same flooring in our mudroom, half bath and laundry room has held up beautifully. We just today ordered Lifeproof luxury vinyl tile for our kitchen. I sound like an infomercial but Lifeproof has been a workhorse product for us. Some people consider it 'cheap plastic flooring'. For us it's been a beautiful saving grace....See MoreEngineered Hardwood, Luxury Vinyl Plank, or Luxury Vinyl Tile/Stone?
Comments (9)Installing hardwood in Florida takes extra effort. The first part of that effort is having EXCELLENT humidity control in the home. In hot, humid climates that means the A/C might not be enough. It might require an additional whole-home dehumidifier. It can also rule out an 'open window' type of home. Again, it depends on the location and the humidity levels. Hardwoods must be kept in a 'happy humidity' range between 45% - 60%. At all times. Every minute of every day. For ever and ever. And ever and ever. That means you will spend more on your HVAC system to have that type of 'push button' control (whole home humidifier/dehumidifier). And then the type of build also dictates the best practice for installation of hardwoods. A concrete slab takes extra effort to glue down wood. A high-end adhesives must be used and those add $2-$3/sf...just for the glue. The hardwood and labour are on top of that. In Florida, the most appropriate floors are stone, tile, terrazzo or concrete. All of which are hard and cold. Of course a cool floor in a hot climate is a BENEFIT...not a drawback. Part of the cold flooring is it helps keep the house feeling cool. Vinyl is then the next option. The difference between the 'wood look' or the stone/tile look is simply aesthetics. If you LIKE the look of wood, then go for it. If you LIKE the look of stone/tile, then go for it. With vinyl you will require very good UV block on your windows. Ask your builder what level you have on your windows right now. You will want to find something with UV block ABOVE 50%. I prefer to see 70% - 75%. That keeps the vinyl and the house cool. But it also makes growing indoor plants a difficulty. Plants struggle with UV blocking windows at 70% or higher....See Morettmoss
