- Is this plank really waterproof?
- Yes. The rigid core is waterproof, so standing water and damp rooms will not swell or warp it. Wipe up spills anyway to keep the surface looking clean.
- Can I install it over my existing tile or concrete?
- It floats over most hard, flat subfloors, including tile and cured concrete, with a vapor barrier over concrete. The floor must be level, since the 60-inch planks rock on uneven spots.
- How does the 20-mil wear layer compare with cheaper vinyl?
- It is thicker than the 6- to 12-mil layers on many budget planks, so it resists scratches and traffic wear longer. That makes it a better fit for pets and busy rooms.
- Will the off-white color show dirt?
- Yes, more than mid-tone wood. Hair, crumbs and dark scuffs stand out on a pale floor, so it needs more frequent sweeping and mopping.
- What is in the box?
- The planks come as individual click-lock boards. Underlayment, trim and tools are sold separately, so plan for those before starting.
- Is it a good match for a whole house?
- It works well in kitchens, baths and basements because it is waterproof. In large, sunny rooms the pale finish can look washed out, and it is harder to match to existing wood trim.
