I was able to purchase Ardex on Walmart of all places, 3rd party seller at under 30 bucks per bag. What I'd like to do is first get my subfloor flat enough for the 1/4" plywood.

I'm going to start one dip at a time until I get use to the process. I'm familiar with the hard water in SoCal. Even the beach cities had it.

I'm looking for Ardex but it seems to be only available online. I saw a few posts that claims Ardex Feather finish and the Henry product is the same. Is this true? One of the other issues I find is that many of these products don't support OSB wood.

Thanks for the feedback! We are in our forever home now but I have a lot of square footage to cover on the first floor so probably won't go with super expensive underlayment. I was recently shocked to see the cost of 1/4" plywood underlayment @ $33 per 4x8 sheet. I do have squeaking floor...

This is another option I would consider. If filling in the major low spots and using a 1/4" underlayment will give me the proper surface for a clean LVP install then I'm in. What 1/4" underlayment would you suggest?

Finding the right product that is compatible with osb and has a decent working time is going to be the challenge.

I'm looking for best outcome. This first room is a test to determine if I want to DIY or pay someone. The following rooms are more of a challenge. I'm thinking using a self leveler for the entire room might be an option.

Thanks for the reply. My next step was to measure subfloor heights around the room. I used my rotary laser level and found the high point to the low point was just over an inch.

I'm preparing a room that had carpet for LVP installation. Found that I have OSB for the most part but I also have a 2x14' section of plywood along the wall where a floor vent is. Where the OSB and plywood run together under a wall they appear to be the same thickness but away from the wall the...

From what I read cortech is now under Shaw industries.

Thanks! I stumbled across ReallyCheapFloors.com and found this video that describes the differences between Shaw's Floorte Pro LVT product series and their starting prices for each series. They seem to have very competitive prices, the lowest I have seen so far. Turns out their locations are...

What are the best brands for Vinyl Plank Flooring and best places to buy? Is Shaw one of the better brands? Is 12mil wear layer good enough home when you have pets? Thanks! Don

Got my samples. It looks like the same stuff except it has a lighter shade of pale.

I agree, Lowes is low probability. I'm trying to get a sample sent to me from the manufacture. I'll checkout the Southern Boys videos.
