Now, vinyl used to be shunned as a cheap flooring, but oh how things have changed! Vinyl plank flooring can be just as expensive as nice hardwood floors and it is actually the "new" thing according to the flooring specialists we spoke with. We actually had trouble finding one in our price range! However, I was persistent and found a great one online.
This particular flooring has a beautiful color and texture. There are lighter areas and wood texture throughout. This complements nicely with the rich brown color of the plank. I like this because instead of the flooring looking country it looks more "modern farmhouse". Which is exactly what I wanted!
The flooring also installs fairly easily for the average DIY-er. It can be cut with a utility knife and clicks together snuggly with maybe a little gentle taps from a tapping block or something similar. We made sure to follow all of the manufacturer recommendations as well for installation.
As far as wear goes, this particular plank is 4.2mm and waterproof (some only say water resistant fyi but I'm not sure if they are actually any different). Other than that, we haven't had it long enough to determine how easily it scratches. I'll have to let you know in the future! I can say, however, that for now I'm in love with them! Can't wait to add the baseboards! For now, my daughter's messy toys will have to hide the lack there of!
