@Ana Girl1918 I would love to see pictures and your review. I have read a few reviews from people who had a hard time getting the planks to click together.

Thanks for checking carpet express for me tqtqtbw . The lattice pattern originally came in three different colors for the center of the pattern, with the same marble effect for the other sections, but only one was discontinued. The three original colors were: the Gardenia that you saw, which has a gray kind of center; a combination called Elderberry, which has a darker center; and the Hydrangea pattern that I want where the center is a muted aqua. The Gardenia and the Elderberry versions remain in the system, and evidently only the Hydrangea was discontinued. Just my doggone luck! For the heck of it, I called Carpet Express. They told me they would not have it since they don't sell much Mannington. Then I called Lumber Liquidators; they don't sell sheet vinyl at all -- just plank products.

Installing hardwood in Florida takes extra effort. The first part of that effort is having EXCELLENT humidity control in the home. In hot, humid climates that means the A/C might not be enough. It might require an additional whole-home dehumidifier. It can also rule out an 'open window' type of home. Again, it depends on the location and the humidity levels. Hardwoods must be kept in a 'happy humidity' range between 45% - 60%. At all times. Every minute of every day. For ever and ever. And ever and ever. That means you will spend more on your HVAC system to have that type of 'push button' control (whole home humidifier/dehumidifier). And then the type of build also dictates the best practice for installation of hardwoods. A concrete slab takes extra effort to glue down wood. A high-end adhesives must be used and those add $2-$3/sf...just for the glue. The hardwood and labour are on top of that. In Florida, the most appropriate floors are stone, tile, terrazzo or concrete. All of which are hard and cold. Of course a cool floor in a hot climate is a BENEFIT...not a drawback. Part of the cold flooring is it helps keep the house feeling cool. Vinyl is then the next option. The difference between the 'wood look' or the stone/tile look is simply aesthetics. If you LIKE the look of wood, then go for it. If you LIKE the look of stone/tile, then go for it. With vinyl you will require very good UV block on your windows. Ask your builder what level you have on your windows right now. You will want to find something with UV block ABOVE 50%. I prefer to see 70% - 75%. That keeps the vinyl and the house cool. But it also makes growing indoor plants a difficulty. Plants struggle with UV blocking windows at 70% or higher.
