I’m new to this... here’s more info regarding LVP /Masland. I have 5 teenagers 2 dogs, and a pool.... hardwoods have taken a beating. I would like to use LVP for better wear, but i haven’t been able to find one I really like the look and feel of,. I was in a large showroom and came across Masland. I liked the color and feel of the product. However, I noticed online that it wasn’t as present as other brands and I couldn’t find any sites that actually reviewed it. So, wanted more information about its wear, price etc that the other companies so freely advertise. Thanks For any information regarding this

Has anyone used Masland luxury vinyl planks? Specifically the Oconee Pine 7” x 60”
7.5 mm thick with a 20 mil wear layer?

I‘ve used Masland vinyl planks twice. In my first hone, I loved them. Good looks, highly resistant to scratches. In my second home they’ve been a disaster. The tongue and grooves won’t stay together and I have horrible unsightly gaps between planks big enough that you can see the subfloor. My contractor has requested replacement From Masland assuming the planks we’re missing-manufactured. No resolution yet. So if you use Masland, hire and experienced contractor and request they stop if the pieces aren’t holding together. Better yet, find another brand.

@neicher what was the outcome of your Masland dilemna in the second house? My installer recommended this company and they are manufactured here locally, but I do not want any issues.

Most LVP floors are just rebranded offshore floors. They are sold a s the cureall to everything but in reality fall very short. Take a simple key to the face of the plank and see hwo it holds up. Most LVP might have a say 10mm wear layer but that doesnt mean teh color is 10mm deep so a scratch wil reveal the white layer. Engineered floors have heavy coatings that hold up just as well if not better. You can also repair the panel which cannot be done with vinyl. I do not get the craze?

@Shelly Herrington my contractor took up the entire floor, sorted out the worst (poor linkage edge) and relaid the entire lower level. I had to purchase additional boxes of flooring. The seams along the long edge are OK, not as tight as Ive seen with other floors. the short edges are terrible, with noticeable raised edges. You can see the short edge seams easily across the entire floor. At some point I’ll replace the whole thing, just not right now ($). I’d still recommend staying as far away from Masland as possible
