Anyone have long term experience with glue down LVP in a commercial setting ?

Experience - no.

From what other posters/landlords have stated on here, LVP is the way to go. Easy to fix up and durable. Get dark colored LVP. Shows less scratches that way and looks nice.

I was in a home with LVP flooring the other day and the stuff looks great. I'd rather the woodlook tile that I have now in my home, but again, I heard that replacing sections of LVP make it preferable for landlords and rental properties.

Check the Mil thickness on the west layer. We have used it on a lot of commercial buildings and looks great, just have to pick the right stuff for the application/ amount of traffic etc

Commercial settings vary. If it’s like an office setting not a problem.

I have it in a beach condo and it gets beach up pretty bad from furniture wheels. Not horrible, but no where near tile.

pretty soon LVT is all you’re gonna be able to get. VCT is being phased out

Put lvp in my past 3 homes. The first two got a few scratches. Have had commercial grade in this house for a year with no scratches. I don't remember the exact wear layer number but seems like it is in the 20s.
