Allure Fooring

I would like to put it in my units but the price is wrong. Any suggestions on something similar but priced much cheaper?

You'll get what you pay for. If you want a floor you might be able to get 5-20 years out of, go with allure and spend a few more dollars. If you want a floor that's toast after your tenant's kid spills a bunch of cool-aide, go with a laminate. After you work in the added time to install a laminate, you're barely saving any money, for an inferior floor. I have installed both of them, and allure is much faster and easier to do.
I'm not the biggest fan of its looks, but the people that have seen it have always told me they like it.
The most successful landlord I know has this product in many, many units.
Over time, with Allure, the savings are definately there.
On the short term, with laminate, pad and labor, the savings are, like I said, marginal.
