MSI Everlife Ashton Colston Park LVP vs Shoreway Oak Waterproof Rigid Vinyl Plank

Buy the Shoreway Oak if you want a tougher floor: its 20 mil wear layer and 5 mm rigid core outlast the MSI plank's 6 mil layer and 4.4 mm body, and its warranty runs to a limited lifetime residential. Buy the MSI Everlife Colston Park if you want a softer, quieter feel underfoot from its 1 mm attached pad and a russet, knotty wood look. Both are waterproof click-lock planks in the same 7 x 48 format, so the real split is wear layer, thickness and warranty, not looks.

• Choose the MSI Everlife Colston Park if you want a warm russet wood look with knots and grain, a thicker attached pad for comfort and sound, and a floor for normal residential rooms.
• Choose the Shoreway Oak if you want a heavy-duty wear layer, a rigid 5 mm core, micro-bevel edges and a warranty that covers light commercial use.
