We got waterproof vinyl plank flooring for two reasons, ease of installation and pets. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/pB8S1ID.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EF4YfQu.jpg)

We were looking at the LPV flooring but made the jumpy to EVP with a 20 mil coating. Should be installed in the next few weeks.

I did my upstairs in the luxury vinyl plank recently. Easy to work with compared to old school laminate.

I would just put a no slip area rug mat down first , any place that sells area rugs will have it. Or the double face tape,but you'll have to get some good off to remove the adhesive residue if you get rid of them.

I have put allure from home depot in a bunch of bathrooms. Did a whole mobile home 2 years ago. Did my kitchen and master bath with the same stuff only it looks like tile. Put it right over sheet vinyl. Dont put any padding under it. It wont stay together on padding. Did my camper last spring. I dont think it will last long with the temperature changes. Its already moving some.

Just did a 800 sq.ft. kitchen with 7mm thick from Lumber Liquidators....with 2 Jack Russels and living on the water it should last for a very long time.... I'am still doing research on rugs and or mats....in the install instructions it says to not use rubber backed rugs....did find this.... https://www.rugpadusa.com/collections/for-vinyl-and-vinyl-plank-floors

Sorry guys, I'll reiterate: Looking for some durable rugs for the entryways that will stay in place and not ruin the finish of the flooring. The product we are getting is from Karndean, was told by the installer that rubber backed rugs will NOT work. Looking for some tough rugs that will stay in place as the dogs come and go, or a way to get the rugs to adhere to the surface temporarily without damaging the vinyl. you can get a slip resistant rubber pad to put under them or use double sided tape that is made this purpose. Yep...what he said

Don't want anyone to get in a doghouse over flooring, but it cracks me up watching dogs sliding on rugs in the kitchen. We had a mutt who would come full speed, hit a throw rug, sit down, and skid about 4 feet to his dinner bowl.
