I saw the issues that came with hardwood floors first hand time after time doing service work for new home construction. I also used laminate in a couple of my own homes as an affordable alternative to hardwood but had issues in the first year with water and chipping.

We decided to install luxury vinyl plank when we built our current home. Its been over one year since we moved into our home, and I wanted to take a few minutes to walk through and show you how it has held up in terms of scratches and dings, spills, and humidity, and temperature changes!

    Product is: Mannington’s Audra Dockside Series - Color = Sand. You’ve just been saved from endless scrolling. Thank me later!! 😅😬😏
  • It's nice to see Shia Labeouf finally get his act together.
  • I highly recommend this type of flooring. We had a flood in 2016 with over an inch of mud left on the flooring glued to a cement pad in a converted garage. We used water and a squeegee to push the mud out, scrubbed and bleached the vinyl and it still is great. The flooring has been down since 2004.
  • I,ve never seen a more honest and useful review about vinyl flooring. Your review has clearly helped me in my decision to choose my next home flooring. Thanks so much.
  • Did anyone notice how 🐕 never left his resting spot on the floor while Mitch was recording? What a beautiful home and family. Great video!
  • I love this product. I’m happy to see someone show it a year later. Thanks.
  • I love this product! We have it at my office and I am so impressed with everything about it !
  • @jc1400
    I’m putting this in my bedrooms and upstairs. I love it, it’s easy to do. My husband passed away earlier this year and I’m able to install it myself. I
  • Thank you so much for this. I'm in Waterloo and about to do our floors and you really helped us make a decision. Love the results and side note: your kids are beautiful. God bless🙏🏽
  • One year is too early to evaluate it but just to watch that beautiful creature sleeping in the middle of the place is worth it!
  • Thank you! Perfect timing to find this, we're in Durham (same climate!) and about to renovate! Sold on vinyl now.
  • Thank you for sharing this - I am grateful! I am getting ready to get flooring put throughout my entire house.
  • @Sushi2735
    Had this put on my entire first floor. Had the store put it down. Looked great even after 8 yrs. when I sold the house.
  • Great honest and transparent video. Thanks for showing the scratches and the floor wobble.
  • Looks great! Toewtalley! It's all aboat the quality install. ;D Outstanding wood and milled look. Love the dog chilling on the floor the whole time.
  • Thank you so much for this! I have a mobile home and I was told to use this but the lady at Lowe’s highly recommended laminate which would end up costing us 3k for two rooms which aren’t that big. I was told the moisture would buckle and just ruin laminate but she assured us it wouldn’t. I like the thought of this stuff so much better.
  • LOVED THIS REVIEW because it was what I needed to get us over the hump of deciding what flooring to get so THANKS, WE APPRECIATED IT.
