luxury vinyl plank issues all seem to be improper installs?
Does anyone have solid core luxury vinyl plank that has held up for years in your rental without splitting at the seams?
From all the reviews I've read, it seems people are trying to lay this stuff over unlevel floors.
you can't lay this over ceramic tile if there's lippage.
it appears no one uses self leveling underlayment before plank install either.
Has anyone here actually properly installed plank over a perfectly level floor... and still had issues?
What if you used a few drops of super glue while click locking the planks together?

I never use self leveler. Use LUAN board, sometimes two layers of it. The buckling people are seeing is usually from installing too tight to the wall. You need a gap at the walls.
