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

My wife and I have installed flooring in 4 rooms (1000 plus sq. ft.) and have only used laminate. When we did this vinyl was not available so my comments are limited to this option. Laminate (good quality) is very real wood looking. It needs to be installed on a very flat surface or you will get clicking when walking on it. We would never install laminate in an area subject to water spray or spills because it can warp if not cleaned soon after a spill. They were easy to install. Hope this helps.
