Comments (346)Here are some pics of the Lato Base that has been installed for about 1 month we ordered it in the summer and it arrived in December due to the pandemic supply chain boat traffic jam. it seems nice. it is lower shine and much more non slip than our previous laminate and warmer on cold mornings. +/- you cant run and sock slide on it. we replaced laminate that was light but more colorful in orange and pink hues (bottom pic is our old floor-notice how you can see the edge of each lamite plank. For a plastic floor, this Lato is more “realistic” than the old floor which had multiple boards per plank. Lato is light and looks best in the rooms with deeper contrasting colors imho. Maybe we will go darker on the walls the next time we paint Our house is 100+ years old. The Lato feels like a timeless color and I against our dark modernish Ikea cabinets. we did 900 sqft continuous over multiple rooms on the main floor we’ll see how it holds up long term. my kid roller skates on it and plays hockey on it with no marks or scratches that havent cleaned up. we clean it with liquid products and have the pet water dish on it without worries. The micro bevel is about as deep as the faux wood grains. We were not a fan of the deep grooves and trendy big planks but maybe this flat bevel will present a problem if any buckling or swelling occurs in the future. We’ll see. Under can lights and other fixtures it looks nice and doesnt mirror the light source. There are certain times of day that the light shows the artificial grains more. Overall, it looks good, but i doubt folks would be fooled that it is real wood while standing on it. But, it seems to have gotten firmer with fewer soft / hollow spots as it has sat and settled . . . or im used to them now. Subfloor was 23/32 tonge and groove particle board over exising imperfections from settling. Its not perfect but better than it was before particle board was laid. the negative- The wear layer is brittle. we did find a crack in it from an unknown source. Not sure if something was dropped or maybe a kid was testing dads hammer while he was not around after install. also in one of thr doorways, there is a gap in the subfloor it was soft and a plank cracked in half when someone stepped on in that spot. the previous laminate had spanned that soft spot without cracking. we did not use an approved installer. lesson learned we are going to see if we can replace just one or two tiles by cutting the tongue and gluing in a replacement as seen on line. hopefully others will not see the negatives that we have experienced. this is our first luxury vinyl and maybe the problems would have surfaced with other products too....See MoreActual photos of Flooret Modin installs?
Comments (10)Order samples, they vary from your screen a good bit. Flooret site and Flooret has pics of installs. Nice material....See MoreCoretec vs Flooret Modin (or any other LVP)
Comments (1)We recently installed (are still installing) the Flooret. I absolutely love it so far. It cleans very easily with a damp rag and does not show footprints unless the floor is dusty. You can buy samples online through the website but I ordered some through Amazon and they were delivered really quickly! Good luck!...See MoreHas anyone installed Flooret Modin in the Base model?
Comments (19)We've only been living with the Karndean a couple months, but thus far I couldn't be happier with it. We've installed it throughout our second floor and plan to also use it when we remodel our first floor. I now it was more than the Modin base. I can't remember exactly what I paid, but I know it was costlier than the Modin base. I maybe paid somewhere around $4.30 a square foot. Right now it seems to me that the 40mil wear layer on the Modin Signature is overkill (I have the original product with the 40 mil installed in a basement). The Karndean I bought has a 15 year commercial warranty; that's good enough for me....See Moresuseyb
