I don't know LW but I have sold Nuvelle and NAF. My impression of all three is that they sell and market a line of products made in China. I'm not sure there's much difference between the three. Which NAF product did you have a problem with? If you had hollow spots, it's possible that you'll have to pay to have the floor leveled. An unlevel subfloor is the usual culprit of hollow spots but they can also be caused by too much foot traffic before the glue has set up. That's not unusual with flooring trades being in the house with others near the end of the job. Checking is an unusual problem. It's often by the wood being in too dry of an environment or dried improperly.

The tile you see at the bottom is from the entry, a small area with a step down to the carpet. That tile is the same as in the kitchen/eating/hallways. This is the view of the dining/entry from the living room. The dining is carpet, it's all one space. I agree that a dark color might be too dark for the space, and I want one uniform color. I was asking if anyone had brand/color recommendations of LVP that is lighter than the samples I had, which are too dark. I am in FL and do not want hardwood, my dh wants waterproof (he's in insurance claims, so...) This is not my forever home, I just want a quick and relatively inexpensive solution to the carpet. If you have any brand/color recommendations of a light, uniform color LVP, I'd appreciate it!

OK...I'm sure these guys believe what they are saying...but they are discussing FLOATING FLOORING. That is sitting on HDF (fibre board). The WATER PROOF stuff is 100% cork. It is 4mm - 8mm thick. There is nothing but cork...cork...and then some cork. Nothing in the middle. When people say that cork isn't good with water, I always ask them: What is in wine bottles? Cork. What is the material that kept the Titanic's Champagne 'sweat' (ie. now salt water intrusion)? Cork. I'm not kidding. Google the sale of Titanic Champagne. It exists...and so does the CORK that kept the sea water out (at 3800m = 12,000 feet). Cork is glued down to the subfloor. It is butted tightly together. Then a polyurethane is applied over top = water proof. You can spill GALLONS of water on the floor and it will sit there. The cork does nothing. It doesn't care. So long as the water does NOT reach the walls or the cabinets you are fine. This is IDENTICAL to stone. This is identical to porcelain. So long as the water does NOT reach the walls, you are fine. Just suck up the water and go. Cork is the same. Whosoever 'poo poos' cork's water proof properties does not know the REAL cork flooring. The CLICK together stuff is a different animal and it needs to be TREATED as such. I can get a floating cork floor in a kitchen. No problem. How? Because I know what I'm doing and I know what I'm dealing with. Am I an installer? Nope. Just a sales chic! But I've done it, personally, on several occasions. I can also install a decent glue down cork tile in a BATHROOM. Yep. Baths, kitchens and entranceways = super happy places for glue down cork tiles. But cork is expensive and takes +++ MONEY to install (if it is glue down). So the cork industry tries to make it easier to install....but the SALES people (and many installers) fail to understand the product and they FAIL to follow installation/maintenance instructions. I can get the softest wood floor (cork) to be water proof (glue down tile) and to be the toughest floor you will ever meet (Loba 2K Supra AT applied x 2 coats after installation). But then again, I know what I'm doing; I know what I'm working with and I UNDERSTAND what cork is. I think you would be hard pressed to find the same with the Gents in the video. As for resale, the EXPENSIVE cork glue down tiles = as valuable as marble flooring. Nope. Not kidding. But then again, I understand cork.

I bought more than needed and have 19 unopened boxes of Provenza LVP Moda living sweet talker. The flooring is absolutely beautiful installed throughout my home. I couldn’t be happier with this flooring! If anyone is interested in north or north east Texas please let me know!
