Confused by all the choices of LVT, laminated, flooring.

[Jane S.]

Went to LL Flooring (used to be lumber liquidators)

Want to install “LVT” in older home, about 500 sq ft sunroom and kitchen. Used to just go with pergo them days are gone and gone.

If anyone out there has experience installing LVT or laminate or ??? Something i dont know about. Please respond. 

There are various thicknesses 8mm 7mm 5mm some with pad, this is for family with kids & dog my typical tenants. Also want to put new floor in 2 bathrms. Can’t afford hardwood, house already has gorgeous mid century hardwood floors.
Will be hiring a handyman/contractor. 

This material in the $2.15-$3.50 per sq ft is expensive … I guess I should avoid the ones priced under $2?

Thanks and have a great holiday!
