@DK F we love the flooring, we have the color Arbor and feel it is pretty uniform in color. There isn’t too much color variation. I also really like the wire brush effect on Arbor because it hides dirt and scratches. we have had some scratches already. We noticed it doesn’t like hard plastic being moved across it. So if you have any furniture pieces with hard plastic bottom put felt pads on. Our cats have also scratchd the floor in a couple spots chasing and turning corners fast with their claws but it’s not even noticeable. The pattern is tricky, it isn’t the same location in every board but in some boxes we did get a lot of the similar pattern so we had to take all the planks and label them (1, 2, 3, 4) with painters tape and that helped when we installed to keep it mixed. no issues with the bevels or separating. We have it through our entire 1400 sq for home without any transitions for a year now. one thing we did have an issue with is when we first installed for the first couple months it made a crackling sound when you walked on it in places. That has since gone away, we aren’t sure why. I think just settling? Other people on here have had this issue too, and not just with Flooret with other brands of rigid core LVP. Also make sure your subfloor is very flat. We have a couple spots where it wasn’t so flat and you can tell when you step on those spots as it feels a little bouncy. This is typical of any floating floor though.

We installed Cali Northshore oak longboard in our rental cabin when remodeling it and absolutely love it. The oft mentioned issue of repetiveness did arise but our installers did their best and we don't even notice it now. We are now thinking about doing the same in our main house on the entire 1st floor. I since discovered flooret and understand it's wear layer is twice as thick on the signature versions. I ordered samples. Upon comparing with Cali I still like Cali better - it's texture is more 3 dimensional and it feels better to our bare feet. The color, hue and design on the northshore is better than all the samples from flooret ( kingswood, elmsford and sutton ). The floorets are definitely nice but somehow the Cali feels better. Also the Cali rides a bit higher - it's backing is thicker than the flooret. We are torn on this decision because it seems a thicker wear layer for around the same price would be better. But in terms of appearance and feel the Cali wins out. If anyone has any suggestions I welcome them!

Thanks! I'm leaning that way as well. I'm in SF (well.. east bay so not quite) but loving the light, clean look. I'm a little nervous about the color bc I have dogs... and I can't seem to find many photos of finished installs. SIGH Keep us posted? :) I should be moving forward in the next few weeks so maybe I'll have pics for you soon as well!

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.
