Anyone installed this solid vinyl click material? The one I was shown is a 12" by 23 7/8" stone pattern.
I looked at a job yesterday that may have that material to be installed over concrete in the kitchen, dining room and living area plus 3 bathrooms and a hallway that are wood. Most of the area is connected except for 1 bathroom.
The dining/Living room area to the right had a big dip in the concrete, so they cut out the entire dining room slab except for 8 inches around the perimeter, and re-filled it with a new pour. It's flat now.
The concrete is about a month old, and they think that since the flooring is "water resistant" that residual moisture coming out of the floor won't be an issue.
Also, the new concrete has drywall mud totally covering it in globs and from the texture over spray. Not that the trapped moisture and drywall mud residue under the new flooring would cause any issues.
Anyway, aside from the floor issues, is this material user friendly? I didn't take my straight edge with me, but the floor looks to have some serious rolling slopes, humps, and a few dips in it........ Lotta prep if it can be made to work.
I don't think they plan on using any underlayment. If they did, I wonder how that would be affected by moisture.
The layout doesn't leave much for T transitions. They don't really fit in anywhere visually.
