I have used the stuff 3 or 4 times and it works REALLY well.

@clearsailing i would lift your trim and put the edge under to help keep it down…

make sure the floor is clean first. don’t want any pebbles under or it will cause a bump, and not look good…
long hallway might be fun to install – but no worse than anything else!

sorry for the late reply – but basically since it’s all stuck together – the last row is still a part of the entire floor – and isn’t going anywhere. that and i hid the edge under the baseboards

Looks great.

I want to use it in a kitchen and pantry area.

Since each plank only connects to each other, how does the side or edge that is not connected to another plank stay in place and/or not lift up?

I am installing it in rooms that have molding trim on the walls at the floor level already in place. If I don’t use anything to hold it down on the edge that is not connected to another plank, is that a problem?

Thanks

I’m looking to do my Living Room/ Dining Room/ Hall with this. I have a Condo which is on a concrete slab. The old carpet is up now for about a month and I’ve checked for any moisture and have none. Any comments or suggestions from anyone on this idea? Thanks.

I bought the Trafficmaster Corfu plank tiles for my kitchen. I haven’t installed it yet but I can’t wait! Good job on your floors they look great. (Love Flock of Seagulls too btw lmao!!!)

The majority of complaints about this product is when it is installed in basements. The temperature swings cause the pieces to expand and contract so they warp. Also, concrete + moisture + trafficmaster = mold.

The only other common problem is that the product marks up easily.

Further, I seriously doubt this would last 25 years, but it is cheap, looks good, and is easy to install.
