LVP- Gaia, Flooret and Provenza

2 years ago

Finally decided that LVP is probably the best choice for our home out in the country considering the dog and cats. However I'm at a loss as to what is the best quality. I love the look of Gaia Sole (Or Eyre but concerned it's dark) but I'm wondering if the Black Series is far superior to the Red Series. I don't like the colors as much though. We're on a slab FWIW. I also like Flooret in Nakan and it has a 40 mil wear layer. Not sure what the best criteria is to use for purchasing- a thicker wear layer or thicker padding as in the Black Series. Can anyone provide their experience with any of those I've mentioned? This will be going in our entire house, except the bathrooms.

We have Flooret throughout or new 2 story beach home. I love it. Even though it has a 40 mil wear layer (best in the industry), it will scratch if a dog skids through with untrimmed or long nails. We get lots of sand in the house, but I do not let it remain on the floor for long! (Love my stick vacuum) Nonetheless, we are very happy with our purchase.

Hello Raidergirl,

We appreciate your interest in our Gaia Flooring Products. If you are interest in having samples sent to your home our Gaia Team will be delighted to send them out to you for free.

In regards to your question about the difference between Red and Black Series.

Red Series
- 8mm thickness
- Hand designed embossing that is registered with picture
- 2 Balancing LVT Sheets
- Size of plank: 9“ x 60”
Black Series
- 10mm Thickness
- Best quality of embossing with depth and definition that is state of the art.
- 2 Balancing LVT Sheet (made to be thicker)
- Size of plank: 9.05“ x 70.87”
What separated the both series?

The physical difference of the Red and Black Series can be seen an felt.

Black Series is thicker, it has a deeper etch process to resemble the wood like textures some would prefer. The plank design is also noticeable larger. This visual can assit in making a larger space feel more welcoming and luxurious.

@parehm, We have Flooret Modin in Arbor in our entire house (actually just laying our living room and kitchen planks today!). We did extensive research and got samples of the Flooret, Provenza, Coretec Plus, Mannington Adura Max and Kardean. We chose the Flooret because it felt and looked the best, and we especially liked the extra wide and long planks, attached underlayment and 40mil wear layer. Some people don't like the bevel but we love it. The next best choice for us was the Coretec Plus, but it was $2 more per sq.ft and didn't look as good. We have a beach house and two 90-lb dogs that constantly bring gritty sand in on their paws. We've had the Modin in our master bedroom/bath and high traffic hallway for 9 months. This floor takes a beating and cleans up beautifully. The main negatives are the shipping cost plus having to deal with a freight company for delivery. But the company has been great to work with by phone with excellent response times and customer service. I always prefer to work with local dealers, but in the case, we have no regrets going with Flooret.

LVP that looks like Engineered European White Oak? ;)
Q
Comments (32)
@AJD. I know this an old post, but I am curious as to what the tile is in your original post? Was that a backsplash tile or countertop? If it was for your countertop, please let me know what it is as I really like the look of it. Only difference is that I am looking for a lighter European White Oak LVP, SPC with minimum of 20 mil and natural or micro bevel. Having the hardest time finding something!

I ordered a couple boxes of First Crush to layout on the floor. I read one persons comments about a few hundred dollars being a good investment into making sure the color is right. Good advice. Thanks for the comments back. They are all appreciated!

Hi Gaia Flooring Inc, could I get a sample of the Black Series Athena color? I'm pricing out and picking various building materials for my upcoming renovation.

I was also looking at Flooret 40mil wear layer as well to compare with the Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection 10MM thickness 30mil wear layer. But the total thickness on the Flooret only 7MM thickness, too thin for our hot area in Sacramento, so our salesperson told us to go with the Medieval Floors. He said if the vinyl planks are too thin, it will bend with constant sunlights by the patio or by the windows.

The Gaia Sole has 4-pattern repeats, but the Medieval Floors Paris has 8 or 10-pattern repeats of almost (or maybe same) color.

Correction to Lily Wong's comment above. The Gaia is 5-pattern repeat per their sales team.
