There now is a new category of flooring that most stores now are offering called hybrids. Some have longer warranties. They are much easier to install than laminate.

Our previous home we had top quality rolled vinyl and it was fine. Be sure your furniture has quality slides on it they are not very expensive and easy to install. |

Mover gouged it when switching out my fridge with another. Still under warranty inspection, had the vinyl guy come in and heat-seal the gouge. Hard to see where it is now unless I get down on the floor. Can't feel it under my feet either. He did a good job and it was free. He told me if I was to try to replace a panel, even if it was the same color and everything, it could possibly stick out like a sore thumb because the rolls (of the same style/color) are not all exactly the same. He recommended those foam floor saver discs to go under the couch and recliner. Not plastic he said. Picked up a set from Amazon and so far they're working great. Moved recliner across the floor and they stayed firm under during the slide. But yeah, you talk to any of these installers and they'll tell you that the floors and counters they put in are cheap material. Last edited by mikeycereal; 08-16-2022 at 01:10 PM. |

Along with carpet they used to have true hardwood and tile, 12" 18" 24", then wood-look tile, then engineered hardwood, then Luxury Vinyl, now glorified linoleum. There's a trend going on but they do what they gotta do to keep the prices somewhat down.

Since 2010, We have had tile in 3 houses, doesn’t seem any harder to walk on than the vinyl over slab.
We have never had cracking In grout, or discolored grout. New build will be completely tiled, carpet for us wrinkles down the road, and doesn’t seem to wear well in FL, but that just our thoughts |
