    Best Brand of Floating LVP for Living Room?

    Have decided to go with Floating LVP for our 350sq foot living room. We have used Armstrong in the past; not from H.D., but from reputable store. Would this be our best bet again? Have used their glue down for everything else. Any recommendations are very much appreciated! I am in the CT area.

    Padding with Floating LVP?

    Do I need additional padding with floating LVP that already has padding? From what I have read here, it seems that you guys are saying that it will only cause problems, is that correct? I have decided to go with floating LVP and my installer says to put extra padding. He is a professional...

    Recommendations for Glue Down LVP?

    So I am thinking this is going to be very expensive for 350 square feet. I may have to look into floating LVP. Does Armstrong make a decent floating LVP? And would I need underlayment with this type?

    Recommendations for Glue Down LVP?

    Thank you for this, so very helpful. My installer said he would need to put underlayment down on the sub floor. Is that part of the prep being well done? He said that's what makes it expensive; the underlayment. I forgot about that.

    Recommendations for Glue Down LVP?

    Thank you SO much for this informative answer. Wow! That covers a lot. I am looking at Alterna Vivera glue down, right now. Their Alterna Vivera Better. It has a little thinner layer than their Best, but that should be sufficient for my husband, cat and myself? Meaning, it won't be too thin...

    LVP: Floating vs. Glue Down

    Hi! I now have 5 floors done in glue down LVP and love them. I want to do my living room and my installer is insisting on interlocking floating LVP. I really think I should go with glue down. I am trying to weigh the pros and cons. Can anyone share their opinion on which to go with and why? What...

    Best online order COREtec or Armstrong LVP?

    Ernesto is right on! We purchased our Armstrong LVP flooring from Pro Source in Hartford, CT and it was great! They have samples there that you can view or borrow. Quite a bit cheaper from retail and you are still supporting a local business. We had our own installer put the planks in and it is...

    LVT Recommendations

    Hi, Are there any LVT brands you would recommend at Home Depot or Lowes? Or would you suggest only using a local, privately owned store? I am looking for mid range LVT to replace old flooring in my condo/kitchen/bathroom. I hope to sell in 5-10 years, so I want it nice enough to live in but...
