I'm in the vinyl plank club. Go with the higher end stuff. I put it in my own house when built and its all I'll ever put in rental property. For all the reasons already said.

I put VP in my rental home. Renters had it tore up in a few years. Replaced with tile and good to go since. As mentioned above the VP seems to not take abuse, kids, dogs, dropping items very well. Or that was my experience. There is a TBHer on here. I will look up his name. I believe he is around the Austin area that sells, installs flooring. He help me via messaging on advice for installation of VP in my camper.

We have been very happy with the lifeproof vinyl panels we have been putting in all of our houses. I hate wood floors in houses, if it gets wet it will ruin it. We have been slowly redoing the house with the lifeproof floors and it is holding up great in the guest room and in the kids room so far. And doing great in the 4 rent houses we have put it down in.

I replaced the vinyl flooring on our entrance/mud room and our main bedroom with the VP that has the pad underneath. It looks great and holds up real well. Obviously the entrance gets a lot of traffic, the VP still looks new after several years down. Got it at Sam's Club, can't remember the name. Wish I had bought more to do two more rooms/closets.Last edited by tdwinklr; 06-11-2021, 04:57 AM.

We had to replace the entire wood floor in our house from a dishwasher leak. Insurance covered everything except the deductible but we still had to go through the hassle, moving furniture out/around, and move out for a week! If we would of had vinyl we wouldn't of had to replace the floor. We also have 4 boys that are constantly dropping stuff and knocking stuff over so we don't have to worry about them denting/scuffing it all up.

We have two dogs and a kid in a wheelchair. When it is raining we just throw a towel at the front door and get what we can but don't stress out over muddy paws or dirty wheelchair wheels.
Don't knock LVP until you have looked at some of the higher end stuff.
