Vinyl plank wood flooring is an excellent choice for new flooring in your home. Two advantages include easy installation and a waterproof surface. There is a wide range of color, texture and style available to fit your personal taste. I recommend the following brands as the best vinyl plank wood flooring on the market.
“Mannington Adura LocNGo Distinctive Luxury Vinyl Plank” flooring is available for $3.99 a square foot or $79.80 a carton. The carton will cover 20 square foot but individual pieces may be bought to ensure you will not have leftover. The dimensions of each plank are 48″L x 5″W x 0.16″T. Mannington” plank flooring may be used on, above or below grade. The sub-flooring may be wood, cement, vinyl, linoleum or ceramic. This makes it nice so any floor may be recovered with this vinyl plank wood flooring. “Mannington” warranties their vinyl plank wood flooring for 5 years following the date of purchase. The flooring is warranted for light commercial use. It will not discolor from mold, mildew or alkali. Check out www.efloors.com to purchase this brand.
The Home Depot offers “Metrofor Hand-scraped Aged Resilient Vinyl Plank Flooring” in an 18 square foot case. The flooring costs $5.64 a square foot or $101.50 per case. The flooring has the texture of clay-backed ceramic tile with a vinyl backing. This combination makes this vinyl plank floorings solidity beyond ceramic. The pieces are 36.4″L x 6.4″W x 2.3″ assembled height. You may purchase “Metroflor” at your nearest Home Depot or at www.homedepot.com.
“Konecto Sierra Plank Collection Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring” is available at http://flooring.builddirect.com. “Konecto” is $3.27 per square foot or $65.40 per box. Build Direct sells in pallet purchases only. But, if you’re doing a big job, the best price is here. Konecto” flooring comes in 36″L x 6″W planks. This flooring is ideal for first time Do-It-Yourselfers. It may be used in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, entryways, offices, business, and high traffic areas. It has a 25-year residential warranty and a 6-year commercial. “Konecto” uses recycled vinyl whenever possible.
Installation of any of the vinyl plank wood flooring is relatively easy. Make sure you read the instructions on the box to see what type of adhesive is required to install the flooring. If you are a first timer, shy away from the full spread adhesive, as that is more difficult to work with. It is not impossible if you have patience, just be sure that you are up for the challenge. Either a “peel-and-stick”, tab or spray adhesive planking is easier to install.
Vinyl plank wood flooring is the easy way to a beautiful new floor. It is more economical and easier to install than the traditional wood plank flooring. There are more choices in vinyl plank wood flooring than in the traditional hardwood. Choices range from color to texture, ease of installation, and cost. My personal favorite is simulated oak but with the diverse choices, finding the flooring that matches your personal taste is easy.
