The DIY Home Improvement Thread

We had LVP in our old house and have it in our current house. I would do it again hands down. After tearing up the ceramic tile and backer board to lay the LVP in our old house I swore I would never put ceramic tile down ever again. Like ever.

The labor isn't the issue for me, it's the feel of the material used. Vinyl has a hollow sound and feel to it whereas tile is firm and has no sound.

I like ceramic tiles. Im worried I will break one some time. Its nice and cold on hot days, but its a real slipping hazard with a small amount of spilled water

I also concern myself with maintenance of the stuff where if a corner starts to chip away, especially in the middle of the room, I'll have to pull up the entire floor to get to that one damaged plank. A tile, I just remove the one that's damaged and replace it.

Are you talking about just cheap vinyl tiles or LVP? We like the look/feel/sound of the LVP we used very much.

I just know it's vinyl and waterproof, not sure on the type.

My dad and one of my cousins have the vinyl stuff and made me not like it more, but made my wife like it. more.
