Lifeproof luxury vinyl tile

Bryan Freeman
Posted

I really like the LifeProof click-lock lvt for rental properties. But, it's a bit pricey at around $3/ft plus installation.

I'd really like to find something equivalent to this product at around half that price.  Or, maybe there are ways to get the same product outside of home Depot at a much cheaper price?

Any suggestions?

Try Floor & Decor.  I just got many boxes of click & lock Nucore LVP 22mil wear layer with cork underlay for 2.59/sq ft.  I looked at LifeProof & Allure and the wear layer was way less & underlay would have been extra.

@Bryan Freeman I agree... but as of now, I haven't found a better/cheaper product.  There are some vinyl flooring options, but most are thinner and/or require additional underlayment.  I'm still using Lifeproof in most of my renovations.... but will be watching here if someone comes up with a better product!

I've noticed some sellers on Facebook marketplace and craigslist that sell LifeProof at a discount.  From what I understand, it comes with no warranty and may be unboxed.  I'm guessing they are some kind of 2nd quality product that didn't make the cut at the manufacturer.  They are usually listed at around $1.89/ft (as opposed to $3/ft for the same product at home depot)
