M flooring and S J Mccarthy, iI am looking for flooring for our entire downstairs to replace our open floor plan worth of engineered hardwoods) only 3 years old) due to a water "leak" with no vidiblevisible water anywhere from the fishwasherdishwasher which created tons of mold on the backs of the neighboring cabinets. Anyway, we visited a local flooring company (Irefuse to shop at big box stores) and the sales guy showed us Mohawks revwood plus. I had already nixxed laminatwlaminate from our search and wasn't even considering it for the reasons you both mentioned above. I looked at LVP first but greatly dislike the extreme variegated looks the companies are doing. So we looked at revwood plus ansand my husband fell in love with one color. He would have purchased it right there but I'm the reviewer between us and need to make sure we are picking the proper product for us. We took the sample home and it grew on me. But it still has the plasticy look, and definitely the feel that a lot of laminates and LVP wood look alike flooring has. So iI dontdon't know if iI can get over that. But the part that iI do appreciate is that the top layer is totally waterproof. No, one plank cannot be submerged in a bucket of water and not have damage but once it's installed due to their locking technology, moisture cannot penetrate below. So it remains on our list. For the plastic feeling I may have to nix it, But we are going to compare it to all the other brands and types we are researching. I do not want T strip transitions and this is also the other reason I may need to nix revwood plus. Which is why iI may be swayed again bakcback to engineered hardwoods. But at least I've done tons of learning in the process. As the local flooring company told us that even though LVP touts being "waterproof" which it is - even if there is a home water leak that needs repair then the LVP would still have to be taken up to dry out the sub floor. So either with this revwood plus laminate or an all embodied "waterproof" LVP, there'd still be work to be done to dry everything out.

This video was helpful to me to hear morwmore about the product and that the top later and jlintsjoints are indeed 100% waterpeoof. As a consumer I am desperate for any reviews of homeowners for any flooring iI am researching. This is from the company, but it still was informative. https://youtu.be/cLSUS19YGaA

Stephanie, Did you decide on a floor yet? I am in the same boat as you... Was leaning towards COREtec LVP, but am intrigued by the RevWood. I'm getting confused what will last the longest - LVP with WPC or SPC, or a laminate like RevWood. Too many choices! We plan to stay in our house forever and have pets. So we want something that will last decades, and will be installed throughout our whole house (except bathrooms). Looking to spend around $6 sq ft. Only requirement is that it is a floating floor (dont want to glue or nail down). This process is waaay more overwhelming that I ever thought it could be.

Kristine Kelly, At first I was using premixed Murphys Oil Soap that comes in spray bottle. Supposed to not leave any residue. But after a lot of research am now using just plain water. Works well. Shaw makes a spray that you can find online too. Haven’t tried it yet.

Suggest you borrow several samples and look at them under different lighting and room scenarios. The colors or hues may change depending on the warmth of the light, or on its proximity to other colors. I did it with Revwood Plus Asher Gray Oak. The variations you noted in your preferred style may actually help tie your room colors together. If you can afford it (money and time-wise), buy a box yourself to test it out. Good luck.
