It is also water proof / resistant so excellent for laundry, bathrooms etc. If you choose a nice thicker product with a good underlayment it has a very solid feel underfoot. Much closer to the feel of actual hardwood than any laminate I’ve ever walked on.

I agree 100%
Laminate is >< close to going the way of the Dodo

It is Rigid Vinyl Plank not Luxury Vinyl Plank - according to salesman only difference is the rigid is - you guessed it - more rigid. It is 5 mm thick with a 20 mil wear layer. It has the padding attached and is floating not glued - although it can be glues if desired. Additional padding can be added. Price is $2.79 sq ft.

Am I being snookered - it seems awful cheap to me. Next option up is $1 more a sq ft but is a more commercial grade with a 28mil wear layer.
Any thoughts?

My thougts are the same with all stuff like this. Buy the best you can afford. My concern with Rigid vinyl is "what is making it rigid"? It is a wood core? Can I score and snapit like LVP? Does it lay down like LVP?

Fellas , if you’re concerned about whether this floor has more water resistance than that one…………….
you need TILE
with a waterproof membrane underneath.

Redid both bathrooms with LVP brand LifeProof 5 years ago. Very happy with the results. Will probably do the same with the bedrooms and den in the years to come.

Thanks

Because I've never seen any that doesn't look like chit to me. Obviously, others disagree. My wife would pull brand new carpet out of a house... I'd remove LVP.
