Got turned on to this stuff, seems legit.. Lots good reviews online.

Half my floors are scored stained concrete, I have about 1500 sq ft need to put something else down on.
Actually it's about 1000, doing ref ceramic in bathrooms and laundry room.
Hallways and bedrooms.

Trying to decide.

A friend of mine recently had these installed. It looks good and is pretty much indestructible, especially with pets.

Planning a house right now and have been looking at these type floors. As single tiles, they appear realistic. The deal breaker for me is a prominent grout line.

If they would make tiles with rectified edges that don't show a grout line I would be more likely to install these floors in a new house.

With a grout line they look like porcelain tiles patterned with a wood grain.

They would also be quite loud it would seem.

Sorta my thoughts.

I've seen them laid down with a quiter grout line that made all the difference.

I used them for an outdoor countertop to match my deck. I liked how it came out.

You could do a sixteenth of an inch grout line and use epoxy grout that is a color match to the tile. It will be much more expensive but it will be for life and will look as close to perfection as possible.

My dad put rubber wood flooring in our workout/storage room. I didn't know it was rubber until he told me. I dropped Weights on it and you could never tell. I have no idea the price on it.

Nafco planks? I believe it's actually vinyl.

It's fairly popular. It looks very good if done by an experienced professional. Super easy to clean and it's CONCRETE so no one is gonna frick it up without a jackhammer.
