I hear or notice the noise way less now, but still hear it from time to time when walking over an area for the first time. We have a couple of seams that have a small gap forming. As others have pointed out and i have come to learn, the problems that we have with the floors are caused by the unevern (not flat) subfloor. So, from that perspective, i cant blame flooret. However, most people that are buying these vinyl floors are doing so for the advertised ”value” and installing them in extisting homes. When you consider the time and expense to make old subfloors PERFECTLY flat, they are no longer a good value. That is my biggest complaint at this point; they drastically under communicate the amount of time and money required to achieve the desired outcome. To those of you who installed these Flooret floors, im sorry and hang in there. The noise and /or your attention to it will improve greatly over time.

We've only been living with the Karndean a couple months, but thus far I couldn't be happier with it. We've installed it throughout our second floor and plan to also use it when we remodel our first floor. I now it was more than the Modin base. I can't remember exactly what I paid, but I know it was costlier than the Modin base. I maybe paid somewhere around $4.30 a square foot. Right now it seems to me that the 40mil wear layer on the Modin Signature is overkill (I have the original product with the 40 mil installed in a basement). The Karndean I bought has a 15 year commercial warranty; that's good enough for me.

OP: don't be discouraged here. there are quite a few pros and 'semi-pros' who really know their stuff. As with advice, you can take it or leave it but at least you get well rounded opinions and can go from there. what the fun if everyone agrees, at least you get something to think about with the differing opinions and it might be a better path in the long run:) that being said, i do agree with others to stay away from all gray floor. your best bet for a mostly un-dated floor is a medium brown wood tone floor. light and dark go in and out of style. glad u ordered your sparkly quartz b/c u love it and its your house!! i do like your 3rd sample, Nakan.. a nice medium brown wood tone !!

There’s a LOT of variation in my Savannah Oak but I like it. It gives it some interest. The cabinet in the bathroom will be Sherwin Williams in the navy blue with white quartz counter and white glossy picket tiles above the counter and in the shower and brushed brass hardware
