Absolute best review of laminate vs lvp of all the you tube videos I have looked at. One thing you cover that the other seem to overlook is the flexibility of the lvp. I have a little bit of a wave in the floor. That info was really important to me.

I love to see another trades person telling it like it is. 4th or 5th video and you're the first person I have seen tell the truth. My client took back my thick and expensive luxury vinyl planks in favor of waterproof laminate because the guy they like at Lowe's told them they needed laminate in their laundry room and bathroom. How ridiculous. Now I'm on my way to the shop to load up a miter saw and table saw just so I can go back and install an inferior product then what they had

There is a guillotine cutter that replaces the saw for straight cuts on laminate. Huge timesaver.

I put pergo wood laminate in all my bathrooms and kitchen with kids and dogs 15 years no problem with buckling, etc. when I installed it in the wet areas, I also put waterproof wood glue in the tongue & groove joints which I think did the trick. Have you ever tried this?

I had a water leak from the sink that damaged the sub floor. I have a rug over that area. Some day I want to put a black and white square patterned floor in the kitchen. So I guess the vinyl plank would be best? Do you install in SC? 😁

Hey I have been looking everywhere for that type of laminate flooring. Glad to know its not the best for animals. Can you (or anyone) tell me the name of that laminate flooring patern/color/look? Can you (or anyone) tell me if there is plank flooring that looks close to that laminate flooring? Any guidance would be awsome.

I'm thinking about buying some lvp from a wholesaler. I want to make sure that I'm getting actually what I'm asking for so is there a way to tell by the feel of a board or the look between laminate and LVP? I'm also going to ask him if you can give me the name of the code and if I could find them online so I can get information verify information
