What's your favorite flooring?

[Karen Young]

Have a B+ condo with carpet in living area that needs to be replaced-what's your favorite flooring? Do you stick with traditional colors (browns) or do tenants like the modern grey trend?

[Mike Dymski]

Hey Karen, I hope all is well.  Can't sleep; so, I'm up posting on BP.  Lot's of landlords on BP like laminated vinyl plank.  The big box stores and flooring companies all have it.  It looks excellent, has a long warranty, can stand up to water and just has a durable look and feel to it.  I am using a similar wood-look but sheet vinyl in C class units and the tenants love it.  Sheet vinyl would not be appropriate for B+ but you get the picture.  The LVP is everywhere now...apartment complexes, hospitals, doctor offices, schools, etc...are using the (commercial) glue down version.  Most people likely don't realize that it's a vinyl product...the technology has come a long way.

Regarding color, you can find the modern grey mixed with a little brown and have something both modern and timeless.  Below is the color that I am using.  It looks less rustic in real life.
