We had Johnson Hardwood"s Luxury Plank Vinyl flooring, Public House- whiskey sour installed by the builder after we looked at the product at a flooring center recommended by Johnson. We have lived in the house for exactly 2 years, and for the first year the flooring cleaned up nicely. In the beginning, I had contacted the "technical rep" for Johnson, and he recommended Rejuvenate LVF cleaner as it is low Ph. That is the only product I have used on the floor since we moved in. We loved the floor so much that we paid $7000 to have it installed in our lanai last year. In the past several months, the floor in the main house is blotchy or spotty throughout, and it looks like certain areas have a film. We clean up water and spots immediately, but the spots continue to show when the floor is wet or dry. So far the lanai doesn't have the same problem, but it's only a year old now. I did report these issues to the technical rep at Johnson, and he wants we to contact the maker of Rejuvenate as that product is likely the cause of the spotting all over the floor. He also wants me to find out who the contractor bought the flooring from when the house was built, and I am to provide the name and contact info for the flooring contractor who installed the floor in the lanai last year. I have tried to take photos with my iphone, but only a few of the spots will show up. I clean this floor at least twice weekly with the Rejuvenate and I vacuum it daily as everything shows up on the dark floor. I know I am going to get the run around from the Johnson rep. I am so upset that we paid top dollar for what we thought was a quality flooring only to have it look like cheap vinyl flooring. I wish we had never heard of Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring.

@Devin, our Guardian Oak has held up great. No scratches that I can see and that is with a dog, a cat, and two kids. We have felt on the bottom of all the furniture, but I did just check the bottom of the stairs where the cat and dog regularly chase each other with audible scratching as they rush around the corner. I couldn’t find anything. With the animals, we vacuum almost every day. It does show dust and dirt, but we’d rather see it and vacuum regularly than unknowingly walk through kid crumbs. :) Our only issue has been the install concerns I mentioned. We get some movement at the end joints still, as they had trouble going together in spots. Shaw suggested CA glue as the solution, but I haven’t been brave enough to try that yet.

Any feedback so far using shaw lvp ?

I installed the Shaw Prodigy HDR Plus in Hygge and so far it's just as bomb-proof as Shaw says. It looks so much better than any LVP I've seen - more like high quality laminate or engineered hardwood. I wanted to know if I needed to buy new rug pads on account that rubber doesn't play nice with vinyl and was curious about the make-up of Prodigy HDR since it lists it's construction as "PMgO". I found the official Customs Ruling given to Shaw in 2019 after they inquired about what tariff should be used the classify the PMgO (aka Magnesium Oxide Fiberboard) construction for import. The product is identified as "PMgO" flooring. The flooring panel sample measures approximately 7.5"(W) x 47" (L) x 10mm thick. The board is constructed a fiberboard core that consists of approximately 80% wood fiber and 20% magnesium components and filler additives. The core is faced with a melamine-impregnated, photographic paper layer, and is backed with a melamine-impregnated, balancing paper layer. The back of the panel is overlaid with a 1.5mm-thick ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam sheet (the floorboard is approximately 9mm thick). This EVA sheet functions as an underlayment. The fiberboard core is constructed of wood fiber that is bonded by a reaction that occurs when the fiber is mixed with the magnesium and additive components. The resulting panel has a density exceeding 1.0 g/cm3. The panel is tongued and grooved on all edges and ends with an interlocking profile. The magnesium fiberboard flooring is an innovation in fiberboard flooring products in that it is wood fiber bonded with magnesium components, as opposed to organic resins. Nonetheless, the product remains undeniably composed of bonded wood fiber as are the products of heading 4411, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The instant panel does not meet the definition of "medium density fiberboard" (MDF) as set forth in the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System (ENs). The ENs explain that MDF is manufactured from dry wood fibers bonded with thermosetting resins. As the instant panel is not bonded with resins, it is precluded from classification as MDF. The PMgO board is instead bonded with inorganic magnesium compounds. As such, it is more specifically described by the language, "fiberboard of wood...whether or not bonded with resins or other organic substances." There is lots of copy written calling it "Stone Plastic Core LVP" but it's actually a Wood-Magnesium core. The surface is Melamine with a "proprietary PetDefense" scratch-resistant coat of what likely Aluminum Oxide. The only "Luxury Vinyl" present is in the attached underlayment pad so Prodigy HDR Plus isn't actually LVP at all - it should be a new "Magnesium Oxide Fiberboard" category of flooring - essentially bomb-proof MDF.
