Wildwoods 7 in. x 48 in. Slate Pine, Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring (18.91 sq. ft. / carton)

I have laid many laminate floors in my lifetime, and I have generally used either the glue down, or sticky tabbed laminate flooring because they were cheap and easy to install. Most floor installations take several hours to complete, so I was more than amazed with the Shaw Floors Wildwoods Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring. First, the plants are longer and the laying process moves so much faster with longer planks. Second, they snap together in seconds, without any problems or challenges. Third, mistakes and uneven edges are easily fixed by unsnapping the pieces, without any problem or effort, and snapping them right back together. Fourth, the plank flooring is high quality and feels like it is going to last for a very long time. Fifth, there is a black foam padding attached to the back of each plank, so there is no need for underlay or any material between the plank and the bare, flat floor. The process was so fast and easy that I hardly noticed when I was finished with the project and it had taken me just over an hour, Typically the same job, using glue down or sticky tabbed laminate flooring would have taken me 10x as long. They are easy to cut with a utility knife, and the enclosed instructions were so simple to read and understand. Overall, the Shaw floors Wildwoods Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring scores a 4.95/5 stars. I had to take off 0.05 for the fact that when I was emptying the planks from the box, one of the plank ends hit the floor I was covering, and a corner of the plank flooring snapped off. I have never had that happen with any other flooring product that I have used.
