They laid it right over the sheet vinyl installed by the builder in the rest of the house. I slide furniture over it all the time and no marks so far. They told me the only thing that would damage the surface is if a knife was dropped point down and that would be hard to see due to the busy woodgrain pattern. There are different wear levels to be purchased and I got the most durable one.(Floor masters on 301) I think it was around $7/sq ft installed, 2 years ago. Laminate is like a photograph glued to particle board. And sounds clicky.

My daughter has vinyl plank and although she loves it, she can see tiny scratches in it. The movers also tore a bit of it when they installed her refrigerator in the kitchen. She has a Coretec product.. Laminate is a photograph incorporated in the design…but what is the design on vinyl plank? I find my waterproof Mohawk laminate very durable. The new laminate is waterproof and feels just like wood. However, my laminate is not in any wet areas of my house. I would choose vinyl plank if I was needing it in wet areas.
