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.

The villages development corp, puts vinyl plank flooring in bathrooms on many new houses. Not that that makes it okay or recommended, but they do it.
