Achim Tivoli II Peel and Stick Vinyl Planks vs Achim Sterling Peel and Stick Vinyl Plank

Both are Achim peel-and-stick vinyl planks in 6 x 36 inch format, 10 per box, 15 square feet. The Tivoli II is the thicker plank at 0.08 inch, so it hides small subfloor flaws better and feels more solid underfoot. The Sterling is thinner at 0.05 inch but its listing states a 5 year limited warranty and light commercial use, which Tivoli II does not claim. Owners of both rate them 4.2 out of 5; complaints on this type of product usually center on adhesive grip on uneven or damp floors, so prep matters more than the badge.

• Choose the Tivoli II if you want the thicker plank for a warmer feel and more forgiveness over slightly uneven subfloor in a bedroom, basement or rental.
• Choose the Sterling if you want a stated 5 year limited warranty and a plank rated for light commercial traffic in a kitchen, foyer or small office.
