Would appreciate some input and recommendations before we shop at Lowe’s this weekend. I have installed laminate flooring before, never vinyl plank. I assume that it’s much easier.
Priority for us is-
1 Appearance
2 Ease of install.
3 Cost.
4 Durability.
TIA

We have had both in tow different houses. The big difference is how they feel when you walk on them. The vinyl is very think and on the concrete slab it does not feel good. The laminate looks better and feels better. As for the other items you listed they are all a wash although vinyl is very durable you will never wear out laminate either. The only plus for vinyl is water will not effect it but if your house floods you will be tearing it out anyhow.
