@kstewartau87 Yes, the sample boards, no matter the time of day, never looked to me like all the pictures look. I get screen colors vary, time of day, amount of natural light, kind of light bulb...yeah all of that. I was so disappointed when I brought the large samples home and they did not look good at all. I actually chose another color of provenza. Changed my mind at last minute due to a pit in my stomach feeling. Once installed, I was sooooooo happy I went for it despite those samples!! It's beautiful. For me: it does not show footprints bad, does not creek, feels quality under bare foot (but not like real hardwood), does not shot per hair bad. Prior to provenza I had a really dark rich laminate. It showed EVERYTHING and just the dog hair alone i was sweeping multiple times a day. Footprints anywhere light shines in and the water dribbles from my English Mastiff after drinking water were just embarrassing!! So happy I went with my gut!! Seriously. please find my pictures posted 2 years ago in this thread. There are several of my floor in different areas and one of the image that finally made me go back to my gut and install finally mine. Best wishes!

leftontheinside We got our First Crush installed a few weeks ago, and there are saw marks. Some of our samples made them look very busy, and others didn't have them at all. We went through a local flooring store. The saw marks are definitely there, but not noticeable when looking at the floor as a whole (I looked at a lot of pictures because the saw marks were almost a deal breaker). We love the floors. They are beautiful! HU-751872317 We got a custom taupe stain made that coordinates well with the floor. If you still need something, I can get the formula.

Not sure if you’ve already installed your floors but thought I’d give you my two cents worth. Hope you’re still considering your flooring choices. First, we just had about 1200 square feet of Happy Feet lvp installed in our home. Like the end of August. The only thing I like about it is the color! We have the stone elegance line in the Kona color. Our previous floors were tile and engineered hardwood. This new floor is very textured and that is something I’m trying to adjust to. It also feels like plastic and has a hollow sound if you tap your nails on it or have any sort of a heeled shoe on. The installation was okay but half the floor has been taken up and relayed twice. The installation was horrible. So that and the fact that I’m walking on plastic everyday has me hating this floor! For the price I wish we had shelled out an additional 3-4K and had engineered put back down. We had a major drainage issue and we had to jack hammer through the slab to replace corroded cast iron pipes. So, a tench through my house, with floors ripped out, cabinets ripped out and insurance was a joke. The LVP is on top of two rooms of remaining engineered flooring. The lvp in the other three rooms and foyer was laid in top of plywood that was nailed to the concrete slab. It sounds like I’m walking on plywood. The install directions clearly state floor must be leveled, the installers didn’t and I brought it up several times and was “assured” it would be fine. The installation instruction also mention flooring grade plywood. 3/8” flimsy plywood is not flooring grade. The plywood actually caused the floor to balloon up because it had been laid against the walls as well as the lvp. No 1/4” gap around the perimeter of the rooms. So the third time they came out, floors taken up and plywood pulled, new plywood installed with a smear on adhesive vs the liquid mails they originally used and then nailed back down. The floor still has areas that give way to much, creating a popping sound when you walk on them. One spot in my kitchen sounds like the squeaker from a dog toy is underneath the floor. The 2 yr old grandson loves to step there. Maybe if this floor had been laid properly I could get used to the plastic feel. It does clean easily. Old wood floors couldn’t be matched, so that’s why this was laid on top. Was cheaper than removing 🙄. The plywood was laid to make the floor level with old hardwood. I’d rather have plain concrete right now than this crap!

Hi, our Vellichor is holding up very well; it has been installed for over six months and it looks brand new. Every room, including bathrooms 3500 sq. ft. Although we don't have children, we have two dogs, 40 and 50 pounds and one has sharp claws. We also have a 3rd dog over frequently, who is 80 pounds. They all run around on it and leave no scratch marks. I clean it with water and just a very small amount of Bona for laminate/vinyl flooring, using a Bona spray mop. We had our own flooring contractor install it, and the contracor for the remodel commented on the quality of the product. He really was impressed with it. It will smudge, as will all of the LVP flooring, but it is simple to clean with the Bona spray mop.
