Which LVP is good to for a sunroom that has no climate control?

Finally! The diamond in the rough. Spent hours this morning researching LVT. This was the most informative & easy to understand post. At least I know what to actually look for. Now I just have to find a quality retailer in my area. Thank you!!

the best explanations and visuals I have reviewed. thank you for taking the time to put the video together.

Can liquid seep under the LVP if not discovered quickly?

Good job.

Thank you 😊 what a load of fantastic info 👏 👍

Very good video. Clear and very informative.

Why does Mohawk still require vapor barrier for there lvp

How does LVP perform with in- floor radiant heat?

Wow!!! You did an awesome job!! This was what we were trying to find out from the retailer and internet! If you were in NJ, I’d buy right away from you! Thank you! You are an excellent teacher!

?LVT is made from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. PVC is hazardous to both the environment and human health.

Ummm… balancing layer anyone? Umm stone polymer - calcium carbonate aka - chalk - not good with water - ummm wood polymer - aka plastic and “wood” not good with water -

Product put in water is a nice trick but zero ambient conditions or alkalinity issues introduced

You mentioned quarter inch gap Lol why? Exactly expansion and contraction - why is that ? Exactly

Flood your house and see how that product reacts.

You’re actually part of the misinformation problem on these products. Customers believe you. As an installer and moisture testing professional, I can tell you these products are a nightmare.

I haven’t even got into the Sun coming in through your French doors and heating these products well over 100 degrees. By the way- zero warranty from the Sun

Purchase at your own risk and buy a product with a balancing layer at a minimum

What is the best brand you would suggest Vinyl

Nice explanations. You forgot to mention installing bull nose molding vs. taking out the molding and re-installing it. Also you did not mentions the strength and quality of the attaching mechanisms. A lot of mfg provide weak joints that can be snapped off easily.

very informative, appreciate it;

This gentleman sold me!!!
Too bad I don't live anywhere near Utah. 😁

WOW. Thank you for this information!! Excellent!
Wish you were in Georgia 😢

Thanks for the great video. Does it do well with in floor heating? Should I go with the 20 as my apartment will be rented out on Airbnb?

Question: What is luxury vinyl plank? Answer: Hideous!!! Especially the grey color.

Bought a house that had brand new LVP back door had a leak and buckled everything. Maybe it’s waterproof to a point but water destroyed my floor quick…

I have old vinyl square tiles (glued on) in my kitchen. I can put LVP over top of the old tiles?

We’ve had LVP for 11 years and it’s held up great. Most people haven’t been able to tell that it’s not wood.

Is Luxury vinyl plank TOXIC?

Bryan you are amazing with your know,edge. A+++++. You convinced us. Thank you so much for explaining the difference. Love it!❤

Best combination of a wealth of information and to the point without making it a 30 minute or longer video like a lot of people do.

Best explanation A++++++

Garbage material

The truth is, vinyl plank, luxury or not, is garbage.

Thanks for a great video, i wish i saw rhis when working.

Another type is a hybrid wpc/spc core. Wpc on bottom so it confirms to the floor and spc on top for regidity. The shaw stuff i have is rated for 1000 psi compression strength, so can take about 700-800 lbs before indenting (the psi rating is usually rated for 10% deflection of material, so usually 70-80% of this will not cause it).

Wpc also has a slighty higher R value and its softness will cause less foot fatigue. Of course its a tradeoff and why commercial is almost always SPC.
