We bought Mohawk Luxury Vinyl Plank from Lowe's about $2.50 per square foot. This is a flexible flooring 100% vinyl, you can actually bend in a U shape. It cuts with a box cutter, or you can buy a specialized cutter at Lowe's, I used the box cutter. NO DUST, no mess. This is a snap and lock system like most floating floors. NOTE: the instructions are very specific about the use of underlayment, Lowe's gave me the wrong advice and suggested underlayment the instructions state NO underlayment! Also, this product is relatively quiet. I did 2 bedrooms, t closets, and a short hallway, about 600 square feet removing all the old carpet and placing this flooring directly on the concrete. The bedrooms are almost as quite with this flooring as they were with the carpet! I was able to do this my self in 4 to 6 foot widths and just moving the furniture out of the way.
Let me know if you would like to discuss over the phone or see the product.
