[QUOTE=coleprice;2408379]We tiled the floor of our Lanai and it looks beautiful. /QUOTE]

Our lanai enclosure guy suggested we skip the LVP flooring in the lanai. We have it in the rest of the house, but he warned that the lanai might not be as well-heated and cooled as the inside. We’ll have a split system to handle heating and cooling. He’s not installing the tile or LVP himself; he’s just raising and leveling the floor and installing electrical outlets. He’s always been great at giving us advice.

The designers at the Village Design Center also recommended against LVP in the bathrooms or lanai because of moisture. I guess no matter how careful you are, water can find a way to get through a seam or missed spot of caulking.

Maybe there’s a newer or special kind of LVP that would work better in the enclosed lanai.
