it's best to have extra planks from the ones you bought as they may not sell that design and color anymore in the future.

[@creativesuit1930]

Even the exact same designing color is different from batch to batch. Also, if you have leftovers from the install, they will be the same age as well since the color changes with age.

[@MorrowTravis]

You pulled them out in 2010 because vinyl 1.0 (aka linoleum) went the way of the leisure suit. They were a fad and disgusting to most people by the '90s. That was my point. I know they're durable and easy to install. But this fad of vinyl 2.0 (aka plank) will be more costly to update than a wardrobe. I recommend solid hardwood. It's naturally beautiful and people take the time to refinish it at any age. I would submit to you that I've done my research, but this comment isn't for you. @@valleyman1959

[@bobbyking1456]

it is nice to have the ability to remove an indavidual tile, but floating floors do have an advantage as when the floor needs to be replaced you just take it apart without having to destroy the tiles and there's no glue to clean up. Also aligning it is much easier and they are more waterproof in most cases. Definitely think about it if you're not on concrete as there are a lot of floating floors that can't do that.

The one issue with putting it on a concrete floor in a basement is the risk of the concrete leeching water in humid conditions, the trapped water can not only separate the tiles from the floor but if it doesnt separate them then you have a thin layer of trapped water which can cause mold issues

[@jasoonmo]

I grew up working with my dad as a floor and tile installer, and as someone who has been laying floors his whole life glue down LVP is some of the easiest stuff to put down. It cuts easy, you don't need to beat it into place like grooved LVP (I always called it click together but IDK if anyone else does), and it look pretty good. only thing I like more is glue down carpet tiles because it feels better and is harder to feel high and low spots. a million times better than linoleum sheets so thank God I wasn't alive in a time where that was normal to put in your house.
