![]() While there are brands with thicker flooring or more styles, we feel the company’s vinyl lineup is well worth consideration.About the Brand: In business for more than 50 years, Shaw Flooring is especially adept at manufacturing luxury vinyl plank flooring products in a range of styles and finishes. The overall consumer reviews for their vinyl flooring have been overwhelmingly positive, especially given the price. Whether Lifeproof flooring is the right choice for your home comes down to style and your budget. The company’s products are cheaper than what you’ll find from Shaw or Mannington’s top-tier lines but in line with vinyl flooring from Mohawk, SmartCore, and Home Depot's other store brand, Home Decorators Collection. ![]() Luxury vinyl flooring with a thicker wear layer is a little more expensive, although the price difference between tile and plank format is negligible. We have seen some styles close to $4.00 per square foot, but for the most part, you can expect to pay an average of around $2.75 to 3.00 per square foot for their click-lock flooring. One of the perks of Lifeproof vinyl flooring is the cost, which falls into the midrange for the most part. With that in mind, all of the company’s sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl have a limited lifetime guaranteed when properly installed. ![]() There are around 60 with wear layers at 22 mil or 12 mil, and more than 70 styles listed with a thinner 6 mil wear layer. That’s a bonus, but still a step down from high-quality SPC and WPC luxury vinyl flooring.Īs for the wear layers, that’s split fairly evenly between their premium and mid-range styles. Most are considered “wide” planks with a width of at least 7” and have rigid cores, instead of flexible ones. We found that Lifeproof vinyl flooring ranges from between 6mm to 7mm thick with a few styles falling below or above that mark. The core and thickness also come into play with structural integrity. ![]() While quality construction is important as well, when the wear layer fails, the image on each plank or tile will become damaged quickly. There are two factors to remember when it comes to durability and vinyl flooring of any kind – the wear layer and the warranty. Multi-tonal vinyl flooring is also an option although a far cry from the premium variegated planks you’ll find from major brands. Magnetic Rock is in tile format, but nearly black while Maligne Valley is a plank that’s a shade lighter but just as stunning. Chiffon Lace Oak is a great example, and there are darker hues to choose from as well. Most are shades in the grey or brown range, but there are several that are light and weathered almost to the point of being white. Homeowners interested in wood-look flooring have a larger selection with over 100 styles in stock locally or online through Home Depot. Some of the tile sizes are also listed under the “plank” category online – something to keep in mind when shopping for this brand. The sizes are somewhat standard with planks listed at 12” x 24” and 16” x 32” although most sport a 12 mil wear layer and have an identical warranty. While you can choose from shades like Aged Birch Wood or Travertine Stone, the main differences come down to color and style. ![]() The selection of sheet vinyl is relatively small with around a dozen styles, all of which have the same general specifications. There is sheet vinyl and vinyl plank flooring. We touched on the brand briefly in our Lifeproof 2020 review, but since that time, their collections have changed somewhat along with their pricing.Īt this time, all Lifeproof vinyl flooring sold through Home Depot comes in two basic forms. Lifeproof Vinyl Plank Flooring ReviewĪs one of the more popular brands sold through Home Depot, there is no shortage of reviews for Lifeproof vinyl plank flooring. While not clearly evident on the company’s official website, two of the brands they produce include the TrafficMaster Allure collection, which is also sold through Home Depot along with Lifeproof vinyl flooring. The company’s current flooring line consists of two lines with click-lock and GripStrip flooring. ![]()
