After quite a difficult and time consuming installation of hardwood flooring through-out our lower level, we decided to look into other options for our bedroom. We saw this product at our local HD, yet they did not have the right finish I was looking for. I decided to go on-line and found this Alpine Elm which was perfect for our beach/lakehouse look we were going for in our Master bedroom. I found it odd that you had to PAY for a sample of flooring,so I went with the reviewers accolades and bought it-sight unseen.
What a pleasure it was when it arrived, just what I wanted! Shipping was free, I might add.

Pros: Very Adhesive, High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Modern, Easy to Clean, Looks High End

Yes, I recommend this product.

I just installed this on Sunday. I have an oddly shaped kitchen, so I had to do some mathematical prep, but, start to finish, it probably took my friend and me only three and a half hours to get almost three boxes of planks cut and laid.
It's beautiful, and the raised "grain" makes it all the more realistic looking.
I'm so happy with it.
I'd read other reviews online which said that there was no instruction book, but my boxes had a book in each one, and I found the instructions QUITE clear, and well-written.
Pros: Very Adhesive, Looks Like Wood, Sturdy, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Great Instructions
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wish we had this product 20 years ago when doing a first renovation. In the current application the old flooring was almost 40 years old but in excellent condition - just old, so I was able to go right over this old flooring. My palm was a little sore from the Stanley utility knife used to cut & trim, but I put on a leather glove and it solved that problem. The only other problem I could say I had was keeping the long metal ruler in place when trying to trim a long 36 inch piece but with the help of my wife that problem was taken care of. I really have to say this was one of the best products I have every worked with and if the occasion arises I will certainly use it again.
Pros: High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Sturdy, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Modern, Easy to Clean, Effective
Cons: can't think of any.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used this product on a 16X20 footprint in an old sheep barn that I am slowly renovating into my art studio. The old slab was uneven and heaved in areas because of the cold winters. This product is as forgiving as any product could be dealing with those perameters. It is free floating, moisture impervious and easy enough to install if you have a plumb line. Both in my studio and inside the main house bathroom which is the photo you see, the floors are not perfectly even and a bit sloped.
The adhesive bonds super quick so make sure to have as close to on end as you connect one to the other and so on.
Flooring, New toilet, and New Vanity in photo all for under $200 and the bathroom has a new lease on life.
Home Depot a pleasure to do business with every time and they stand by their products.
Pros: Very Adhesive, Feels Like Wood, High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Sturdy, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Modern, Easy to Clean, Comfortable, Great Accent, Looks High End, Effective
Cons: Hard to Remove
Yes, I recommend this product.

We have a den with a concrete floor that needed new life. The rest of the house has oak hardwood floors and we wanted something that did not pretend to match. We liked the look of this product and the price.
The installation went smoothly and the brief instructions were easy to follow. It went much faster with two of us installing: I did the cutting and sticking and my wife handed me new planks.
We have had the product in place for more than a month and are very pleased. Family and friends who have visited like the look and are impressed. Dirt is swept up easily and a floor like this is much easier to keep clean than carpet.
Pros: Sturdy, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Easy to Clean
Yes, I recommend this product.

We knew we wanted a more modern look for our kitchen floor, and I really wanted a gray, "dead" wood look. This fit the bill! The shade of gray is very light, with a few subtle marblings of "live" wood color.
The husband and I are beginners, and we found this to be an easy installation. (I will add that in retrospect, we wish we had a small saw--it would have saved us some time!) We used a heavy-duty box cutter for cutting and a rubber mallet for applying pressure at seams and corners. The entire room took us about 9 hours; we had to move appliances and make a lot of cuts with a somewhat inadequate tool, otherwise it would have been quicker! We ordered 7 boxes of material to make sure we had plenty; our kitchen is roughly 145 sq ft before any subtractions for floor cabinets, etc. In the end we had one box left unopened and another that was nearly full. We did not follow the pattern suggestion that came with the floor. Instead, we opted to do a 1:1/2 staggered pattern, and it looks wonderful! (The first row starts with a full-length plank; the next row starts with a plank cut exactly in half, and full length planks are laid down the rest of the length of each row.) My only complaint was that the packaging was a bit irritating: each plank was separated from its neighbors by a piece of tissue paper, and we had several boxes where the page of instructions was stuck to the adhesive strip of one of the planks!
We're very happy with this floor and plan to order the same product in a different color for our bathroom remodel. Returning the unopened box of material was very easy. We're very satisfied customers with a beautiful new floor! Good luck, fellow DIY'ers!
Pros: Feels Like Wood, High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Sturdy, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Modern, Easy to Clean, Comfortable
Cons: packaging was a little...odd.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This was my first use of resilient vinyl, after six uses of laminate products. I selected this because it was waterproof and laminate is not. Also, for longitudinal runs over 18 feet, a transition strip is required for laminate, and not for vinyl, on my floor in question (30 feet long) this was parmamount to the installation.
In addition, it is easier to install because of it does not require a saw since the vinyl is pliable and soft.
Only disadvantage is the surface scuffs in use, but the scuffs are easily removed by buffing and use of the Home Depot Allure finish product.
I will always use resilent vinyl over laminate in the future.
Pros: Very Adhesive, High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Comfortable, Looks High End
Yes, I recommend this product.

The existing peel 'n stick tile had worn out and the bathroom need a budget minded mini makeover + paint job. This tile was fairly easy to install (once you get the hang of it) and required only a box cutter for a tool. If my bathroom was square it would have been a snap but it had some odd angles in the corners. The true test and challenge was getting the right shapes around and behind the toilet + the heater! It took me the better part of a Sunday afternoon to get it all laid down. I consider myself a decent handy-woman so I was up for the task and did an amazing job. This is a great product and I LOVE how it looks in the bathroom and recommend it. To the manufacturer: Add grid lines to the paper so you can re-use it for a pattern and cutting odd shapes. To anyone doing this: Buy some wood filler in "natural" and use to fill in cracks you might have missed. Over all rating? A+

This floor looks awesome. We used it for our outdated guest bathroom and laundry room. Laid it right on top of the existing linoleum. We used a utility knife to easily cut the planks. It only took us a few hours to do both rooms.

Love the color and look, not impressed by the product. The seams are coming unglued, and I have to continually push them down to readhere. We carefully followed the guidelines, so am very disappointed. It was a several day process for us to lay it, so am dreading having to have it fixed.
Pros: Modern, Comfortable, Great Accent
Cons: lifts up at seams
No, I do not recommend this product.

This is a great product. This is the second floor I have covered with it. I will also be covering a large area in the spring. We did notice the flooring is easier to work with in warmer weather. The color we used this time was Alpine Elm. The theam of the room is Boston Harbor Island sand white ceiling with one large wall painted white and the other three walls are ruff cut pine painted a light grey. The ceiling fan will be white paddle palm leaves and there will be star fish and other notical decorations. The flooring is perfect for this theme, simple to install and durable. My only suggestion for anybody who will be installing the flooring is to buy a pair of cutting sheers (snips),(do not try a box cutter or razor. they will not work) a speed square, measuring tape and carpenters pencil. Good luck and you will not be disapointed in this product.

I first examined the product at my local Home Depot before purchasing because the colors are not anything like what you see online. The installation process was easy enough for one person with minimal skills and the proper tools. A strait edge, tape measure and a box cutter is all I needed to install this product. I purchased an extra box just in case I would need it. It took me three hours to install in a 100 square foot area because I took my time and made sure that every line was plumb/even. Be sure to keep your work area clean as you go because getting anything on the sticky edge or under the planks will not allow it to sit right. The product will be slippery when wet so be sure to put down a throw rug for wet shoes. The product is very resilient (no scratches from the animals and dirty shoes). I think the product is priced right and is much better priced than tile/vinyl/wood and much easier to install.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The planks were easy to install even over a slightly less than perfect floor. The planks were easy to cut, but change your blades often. Once I got into a rythym it went down very quickly and it looks great.

I would suggest you order at least one more box of product than you think you may need since the originator had a more difficult time getting one more box to me than it did the first order of multiple boxes. Also, don't drag any heavy furniture with sharp edges across the product, since it is possible to scratch it across the grain-which will always collect dirt and is near impossible to spot 'fix' since it breaks when pulled out.
Pros: Very Adhesive, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Modern
Cons: Hard to Remove, Scratches Easily

TrafficMaster flooring gives the appearance of real wood flooring, but it is, indeed, valued-priced. It is also very easy to install. We used it in our master bedroom walk-in closet, which has built-in shelving that reaches to the floor, so we needed to do numerous cut-outs around and through the shelving. Happily, this proved to be a very simple task. The whole project took us less than 3 hours (and that included ripping up the old wall-to-wall carpet). As to its maintenance, instead of dragging a heavy vacuum into the closet, I use a Swiffer duster for routine cleaning. We highly recommend this product.
