Suggestions on where to Buy Vinyl Plank?

Solaritu · Apr 22, 2015

I have heard bad reviews for Allure at HD, bad reviews for Lumber Liquidators, and Lowes doesn't seem to stock much vinyl plank. Are there any places that is a good place and quality product to buy vinyl plank? I am looking for a basement so it isn't a room that needs to look amazing, just want something that doesn't look bad and isn't too expensive as the room doesn't get much use. Currently we have ugly stick and peel vinyl tiles. I want to go with a thicker vinyl plank that looks like wood.

I do everything myself, so I plan on doing the install myself as well.

How about some vinyl decking materials?

Probably not cheap, but it does look like wood, and is a thick material.

Yes I know that it is normally used outdoors, but who wants to be conventional anyway.

Try a real flooring store. The salesperson most likely will know a lot about the products. I have tried to buy flooring supplies in a big box and their flooring "experts" didn't know what anything was or how it was used.
One in a HD didn't know that they made different tackstrip for concrete and wood floors.

Why is allure bad? I am shopping for my kitchen. I think it was HD sample...I believe it is a 25 year warranty. I may try hobo store.

I would quit blaming the places that sell vinyl floor and blame the low quality flooring to begin with.Go to a flooring store and see what they offer.Then choose something else if you want a quality floor.

See if Build Direct has anything you might like. They'll send you samples.

But it's usually best to buy from a local independent, just gotta go look.

People put too much weight on long term warranties. What do you think is gonna happen if the floor fails 15 years from now? Right, NOTHING!

My first use of a glue strip vinyl plank was from a local, specialty flooring store. It is holding up as equally well as my allure floors in my apartments. Just saying.

I have over 600 sq/ft of Allure flooring laid over past 2 years. Easy to install.....glue joints holding well......clean up easy.....still look good.....price was (and still is) reasonable at HD
