Luxury vinyl wood planks throughout the house
We are wanting to replace our flooring throughout the house as we are going to be remodeling the kitchen and it has big tiles now. The rest of the house has cheap click together laminate flooring.
We want the same throughout the house once we start the remodel. What should we use?

last monthlast modified: last monthLvp is like laminate with a layer of clear vinyl on top of the printed picture of wood. Some have very weak click systems.
If you find something you like, order or buy a full box to lay out in your space to see the tonal variations. Some versions can be stripey. Modine by Flooret is good value, direct sales.
You can go for engineered hardwood. A light European Oak is very popular because that species does not have open grain or oxidize to yellow. 7-11" widths flat cut show the wood structure. This is what much of the lvp is mimicking.
Hurst Hardwoods, DuChateau, Monarch Plank, Hakwood and many others are distributing products mostly(except Hakwood) produced in SE Asia. Lord is a manufacturer selling direct in some cases. Lord Parquet Engineered Wood Parquet - LORD PARQUET CO., LTD.- PROlast month

Has anyone used Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout?
Comments (11)I'm not overly concerned about it looking like exactly like wood, because for me the practicality and price are paramount, living in a rural area with a busy family. I'll have a kitchen open to the dining room and living room, and I don't want hardwood in the kitchen. And I do like the idea of a clean look with the same flooring throughout. Plus I grew up with hardwood floors in a NYC prewar apartment, so I have particular expectations for hardwood : ) . Though I have to say that even the TrafficMaster Allure has fooled a lot of people, including visitors from Europe who live with hardwood themselves. And our dining room has windows on three sides, so it gets a lot of light. Besides, I'm so thrilled with vinyl plank flooring that I'm happy to tell anyone who asks about the details....See MoreFlooring? vinyl planks throughout or wood and tile
Comments (46)My husband and I recently relocated from Indiana to Florida. We installed LVP in our Indiana home prior to selling. With so many different types of flooring (hardwood being one) we wanted a co-hesive look for the 1968 home prior to putting it on the market. We used floating as to not damage the existing hardwoods should the new owner choose to refinish. When we moved to Florida the home we bought had old carpet, it was a no brainer on our part to replace the carpet with LVP due to humidity issues is Florida. We used the same brand just a lighter shade in our very large greatroom, dining, kitchen and guest bath areas. LVP is easy to clean, wears well with our two dogs, stays cool and provides a great waterproof surface when coming in from the pool. It's affordable and relatively easy to install for any DIYer with some experience in home remodel. We get compliments all the time and visitors have to reach down and touch the floor as they believe it is hardwood. I am sold on the product....See MoreLuxury Vinyl Plank vs. Porcelain WoodLook Plank

A benefit from using engineered flooring is wider plank width, up to 11-12". You get more of the wood structure than with 3-1/2 to 4-1/2" solid.
