Anyone ever use Shaw Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring

6 years ago

We have been shopping for luxury vinyl plank flooring for a bathroom. We found a color we like in the Shaw Alto Plank collection. I have seen some negative reviews, now not sure if we should look at something else. Has anyone else used this flooring?

Look at Coretec HD BY US Floors. We recently had Klondike Oak installed and we love it.

DO NOT BUY SHAW Flooring. I purchased and installed Shaw Castlewood flooring in my entire house and the finish is paper thin. It simply scratches right off the surface. Within weeks of installation it peels off the surface with the slightest scratch. NOT what normal good quality engineered flooring does under absolutely light normal wear and tear. BEWARE and do not purchase this flooring. AWFUL! I"m so sad that my whole house has this cheaply made and horrible flooring.

Has anyone used Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout?
Q

I'm not overly concerned about it looking like exactly like wood, because for me the practicality and price are paramount, living in a rural area with a busy family. I'll have a kitchen open to the dining room and living room, and I don't want hardwood in the kitchen. And I do like the idea of a clean look with the same flooring throughout. Plus I grew up with hardwood floors in a NYC prewar apartment, so I have particular expectations for hardwood : ) . Though I have to say that even the TrafficMaster Allure has fooled a lot of people, including visitors from Europe who live with hardwood themselves. And our dining room has windows on three sides, so it gets a lot of light. Besides, I'm so thrilled with vinyl plank flooring that I'm happy to tell anyone who asks about the details.

It is distributed by Floorco and supposedly manufactured by Shaw , but their website at Meridian is sparce. Love the look of this brand but wondering if anyone has had experience with it , or knows more about the company and customer service. Don't want to make this big investment if I can't get comfortable with the company. Thanks

That’s wonderful! How about variation between planks? I noticed on the website it looks like there might be quite a noticeable difference between the lighter and darker planks. And yes, we would much prefer to have hardwood but are considering Provenza LVP as well due to cost. We had some install quotes done this week so hopefully we can make a decision between the two options and then narrow down specific color. But Imperial Pecan barley is definitely my front runner for hardwood. It’s beautiful! If you have any other pics handy, I’d love to see them.

We have decided to go with Modin from Flooret. We chose a newer color, "Brenwick". It will be awhile before we get to this step. (My husband is doing the work on weekends with the help of his brother) Modin came out with a thicker, cork-backed product. We have been working with Flooret and so far they have been wonderful.

Leighleigh27- have you reached out to Shaw about their product? How terrible for you! I had read reviews here and on other sites that they have terrible customer service. What a shame!

Here's a few photos of the bathroom. I'll post a picture of just the floor too. Still needs a few finishing touches.

Not sure how true to the color looks in this photo. It's a bit darker in person. Modin is great about sending samples. I don't think all of their new colors are on their website yet. My husband did the entire bathroom. He framed, drywalled, did electrical, plumbing and installation of all the fixtures. We love how it turned out.

Deborah B,

Your bathroom looks beautiful. Your husband did a great job! Did you put Brenwick anywhere else in your house? I’m thinking about it for my living room dining room kitchen open floor plan but wonder about it being too dark or on the red side. How is it for showing dust and smudgy footprints. How is it to clean? How is it wearing so far?

Thank you!!

Thanks so much! So far we love it! All I have done so far is wiped it with a damp cloth. It doesn't show dust. It doesn't show footprints. We have not used it anywhere else yet, but we do plan on using it in our master bath when we redo that in the spring. I have nothing but positive comments to make. It's more of a medium tone- as far as I'm concerned. We had darker color samples and lighter ones also. We chose Brenwick because it most closely matched the rest of the woodwork in the house. We did put in white baseboard but the trim around the doors and the doors themselves are wood. Hope this helps!

It’s not installed yet. I waffled a few more times! Sometime in April.
