Comments (6)No matter what you choose, just be aware that when you add a layer of flooring on top of existing flooring in your kitchen it is possible to trap your dishwasher and refrigerator such that you won't be able to pull it out to service or replace it. It's more likely to happen with the dishwasher since it is trapped by the counter. Sometimes refrigerators have some wiggle room at the top. This has happened to me and one of my friends. The people laying the floor don't care because it's not their problem and their livelyhood depends on them not telling people about it. You will get more comments on your question if you post pictures of the colors that are available for you to choose from. It's even better if you have brought samples home and can show them against your cabinets. If you're doing your whole first floor with it you need to also be thinking about how it's going to look with your furniture in the affected rooms. The one thing I will say is that gray floors are a dead trend on the coasts already. If they're still popular where you are you can expect it to be a trend that won't last much longer....See MoreAny suggestions for waterproof laminate with orange/brown hues?

Comments (11)No matter what you choose, you will probably find out your concrete floor is not level. Usually builders do not take care to assure a level floor when pouring. Carpet disguises that. All of the products you're interested in require a level floor (to some degree - it doesn't have to be perfect). There are ways to level it after the fact, but it costs extra. So when talking to the flooring contractor, be sure to discuss that. As for which product, I have LVP in my basement and I'm very happy with it. I don't think it looks like real wood exactly, but it's a good product for a basement. I have real wood upstairs, but for me it isn't worth the expense of having it in the basement also. Our basement is walk-out and finished with drywall and has a home office and a family room (only 2/3rds of it is finished space). We carpeted the steps to have a break between the wood and the LVP. If you put vinyl next to wood it looks extra fake....See MoreRelated Professionals
