Ovations LVT/P is not a solid vinyl tile. Its is a composite material containing limestone. Dura Set (DS100) is NOT recommended for solid vinyl tile either. Dura Set (DS100) is an acrylic pressure sensative adhesive specifically designed for LVT plank and tile. You DO NOT want to use standard clearset, thin-spread, or multi-purpose adhesives for LVT. There are less expensive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive alternatives that are warranteed for use with LVT's. One brand we use is Parabond's Fusion Series 5082 Vinyl Tile and Plank Adhesive. Check with you local flooring installers shop or flooring installation product distributor. Some of them will sell adhesives and professional's tools to the general public. As always, follow instructions to the letter, double and triple check warranties, and follow all safety recommendations. All that said, if you are DIY'ing this, I would reconsider paying the extra scratch for congoleum DS100 adhesive. Then the warranty is a one-stop shop for you with congoleum should the project fail and you need to file a claim, otherwise you would have at least TWO manufacturers and TWO different warranties to navigate throguh, negotiate, and come to an agreement about. This is of course if it isnt a DIY installation error, which is very easy to do for those not in the trade.

I still cannot locate a source where I can order a reducer or transition for the doorway where the vinyl tile meets the carpet. There are none I can find to match the Shaw Array Resort Tile Sunlit Sand I have. Mrobvious, who makes the Burmese Slate #23 please, The floor has already been installed and flooring store will come back and replace the cheap metal strip when I find the right piece as they don't carry anything for LVT. This is a picture of the doorway, cabinet color and LVT before it was grouted. Thanks! Can I use a wooden one or wood tone that matches the color of the oak cabinets there or would that not look right? This post was edited by tinker1121 on Thu, Oct 16, 14 at 5:56

Consider this angle. Using snap together flooring means there are spaces between each piece. Most flooring manufacturers require glue to assemble and install laminate flooring. In my experience, using a product that is moisture resistant(like vinyl) means there is little chance of the flooring swelling or delaminating because of water intrusion from a spill or snow covered feet.

Will you be doing a glue down floor or a floating floor? Mannington Adura has some pretty vinyl tile in glue down that can be grouted and also a floating locksolid product. There are installation videos on the Mannington website if you are going to DIY your flooring. I would look for something that will look good with your oak cabinets and oak color flooring in the living room. There are some in the Adura and in the Mohawk that have the golden color along with shades of brown and gray. I would not put down a wood look floor since you have the wood look laminate in the living room. Armstrong and Congoleum also have some pretty vinyl as do others that have been mentioned. Only you know what your budget will be for new flooring, and you may have to have subfloor replaced if it's plywood. If it's concrete, hopefully you won't have much to do since you have had laminate there. Is your kitchen laminate glued down or floating? You might also consider sheet vinyl. I know Mannington has some pretty ones, and I'm sure the others do also. My suggestion is to go to several websites and look at what's available, and then see if any flooring dealers near you carry what you like.
