LVP flooring direction

Getting ready to lay down some LVP flooring. We are going with Modin by Flooret in the Imber color. It is 9" by 60" and will be installed as a floating floor.
The orientation is where my wife and I disagree. 90% of the time people and guest will enter through the garage. In the mud room and baths there is a 12"x24" LVT tile that ends in the mudroom on the wall between going upstairs and to the basement (going downstairs you would be standing on LVT, heading upstairs you would be standing on LVP. stairs are carpet. I think the floor should run left to right direction, while my wife likes the idea of running front to back. I thought about a transition just before you reached the kitchen and changing directions aswell. What would your preference be?

Basement flooring dilemma - Hardwood stairs to LVP flooring transition
Comments (9)We have hardwood on our main floor and LVP on our stairs down to the basement as well as on the basement floor (over cement). When the LVP was first installed on the stairs (it's been a little over a year now), my husband thought the "lip" part of the stair treads (the bull-nosed edge piece) was not installed perfectly flush and secure on several (I think 4) of the treads, so I wonder if that is not uncommon and is what your flooring contractor is worried about. I didn't even notice it, but my husband is a perfectionist and it bothered him. Rather than complain and have the installers come back to address the issue, my husband fixed the issue himself. I think he used tiny little nails (with no heads) to better secure the edge pieces to the adjoining LVP pieces, and I used dots of acrylic paint from my art supplies to cover the bitty nail holes. We have never had a problem with them since and we are up and down the stairs many times daily so they get heavy use. Just wanted to mention our experience in case that makes any difference for your decision. I don't regret using it on our stairs. We picked an LVP that coordinates pretty well with our upstairs hardwood in color, just a little more rustic which fits our basement vibe. We didn't want to introduce yet another type of flooring just for the stairs....See MoreLVP layout - angles and transitions- which direction?
Comments (0)Hi- I am planning to put LVP wood (likely Coretec Springfield Oak) in area outlined in blue but which direction(s)? With all the angles, not sure how to approach it. Would appreciate your help - TIA! Yellow marks transitions - doors or from vinyl to carpet /tile Was thinking of doing this type of transition at the LVP/carpet line- or would you just run the planks right up to the carpet without the contrasting strip? Would you do this anywhere else? Maybe at the sunroom doors (to change direction of the planks between rooms)?...See MoreNeed help selecting LVP! but also LVP vs Bamboo flooring??

Comments (1)IMO seeing flooring in someone elses house will not help you unless their house is exactly like yours. Same lighting same furniture same wall color, so forget it . I usually suggest you buy a box and lay it out in your house to see what it is like....See More
