Ours popped up within a year with mildew under it in several rooms. I don’t know where you live but if you’re in the humid south save yourself time, money, and moving furniture and just go with literally anything else.

LVP can create a vapor barrier below your floor. If you have hot humid conditions underneath, your subfloor is screwed.

If it’s a slab on grade, you’ll be fine, other than maybe some mold under the flooring.

Definition of an oxymoron. Like genuine imitation bacon bits.

Unless you specify the material and demand delivery in the packaging, they can install anything they can get away with.

I was assured during my last build that LVP was now on par with wood and fine to use even in bathrooms where it would get wet.

Its popping throughout and will need to be replaced.

I will never, ever purchase another LVP product in my life.

Wood for living areas, tile for bathrooms.

I am three years in with LVP. I bought commercial grade. I still don't love it. It looks good but the barefoot walking sensation is crap. I'm doing hardwood next time around.
