I'm in the process of laying down trafficmaster allure ultra floating vinyl plank. So far so good I suppose. Takes a lot longer than they advertise, but I'm also a beginner.

I bought an air hockey table that weighs somewhere between 280 and 300lbs. With the expansion of the planks at some point, I want to make sure I won't have too much weight on there that will inhibit the movement. I will have an expansion gap all around.

I looked up the rating and my planks can take up to 200psi. The feet on my table are something like 4 inches across, so as far as specs go, I think I'm good. Just to be safe because of other factors, I was thinking of trying to disperse the weight more. Would it help to make something like wider plywood feet with felt to go under, or even a full platform? I figure I should use felt regardless though.

Absolutely use the felt, i've seen white showing through the original finish when things were slid back and forth on the finish.

If the table is 300 lbs and has 4 legs, you have 75 lbs. per leg.

HD sells a variety of the pads and feet that are different sizes and covered in felt.My advice would be to return the Allure when you go to get the pads.Unless your on a strict budget you can do much better.

The budget wasn't overly strict but the stuff we bought was $3 sqft, which isn't cheap for vinyl plank. It's one if the nicer we looked at and is totally waterproof, which was a necessity, unlike most of the other options. The stuff we wanted from lowes was on indefinite backorder, and the stuff we looked at from shaw and other flooring brands was quite a bit higher.

Thanks to each of you for the info. I was thinking the rating dividied by the legs would be fine. Just though if I widened the footprint a bit it would be a safer bet. The couches we're using both have two motorized sections and are pretty heavy as well, so I might put some wider feet on them too.
