- This is an honest unbiased Flooret Modin review. It is our second video and made after having for a year!
We ordered and received this in September 2018. In the course of a number of months my husband tore out our old flooring, repaired the sub floor and installed this luxury vinyl plank flooring.

that double tape idea was GENIUS! thanks for the tip!!
That double sticky tape tip is golden!!
Greta tip on the gaps! I have a few gaps that opened up on our Pergo laminate I laid in our basement 5 years ago. Gonna give it a try. It has held up extremely well.
Follow up: used 3M two-sided tape and it worked great. Thanks!
Cool share thanks for the info and sharing, never heard of the item, bless day ahead Jackie.
I love your floor!!! I had never heard of the EyeVac...sounds great! I too love my stick Dyson, yay for technology :)
It is super nice! Especially since I have cut the boys hair for over 3 years (It's designed for salons I think)
I installed it in two homes, first house 650sq ft, new home I did 2000 sq ft. I love this stuff, dogs do not scratch it
Flooret Modin Ridgid LVP is the best in the industry. There is no acclamation required, e.g. you can bring in from your cold garage directly to the house and start installing! That’s partly attributed to the 70% limestone core.
Joe Latendre “So That’s How You Do It” does use clear gorilla glue for some of these joint concerns. Seems like a very plausible use. I am trying to narrow down colors to work with kitchen cabinets now. Thanks for the one year review!
nice tip on spacing, I've got one plank that has an end to end issue plan on using your trick.
We put Flooret Raeburn LVP in our kitchen and laundry room (California) in 2019, and have had zero scratches, stains, separations, etc. The separations must be a climate related issue? We have lots of people living in the house + 3 dogs with long toenails, who have scratched up our hardwood floors in other parts of the house, but haven't done anything to the Flooret. We have made so many messes on our floor and they still look like new. Super happy using waterproof Flooret in kitchen and bathroom. (The floor does show dirt pretty easily, as mentioned, but also so easily cleaned.)
Glad you didn't cry haha. Idk why I'm watching this, I just love home reno stuff. It could benefit us in the future, the house we are currently looking at needs an upgrade in the bathroom so maybe this will come in handy
I LOVE home improvement too! This would be great in the bathroom - waterproof!
Jackie of All Things Domestic well if we follow through with the house We're looking at I'll consider it. I want light color whatever I go with be it tile or waterproof vinyl :)
I installed 2600 sf of vinyl plank and had ONE end joint that opened up three times. I only had to do a "cha-cha" on the planks to close it up but it would return again quickly (also a high traffic area.) I'm not suggesting anyone do this but what worked for me was to work some glue into the end joint before closing it. The problem never returned. Thanks for a great review.
Thanks for your input!! Perhaps we will use glue next time!
Great review
Thank you for doing this review video. I have a question about scratching. I know you mentioned that you did not have any problem with scratching from pets, children, etc. What about furniture? Do you have protectors under the legs of your dining chairs? Can I slide a small cabinet out to vacuum under it without it scratching? I currently have bamboo floors and we are looking a replacing with vinyl plank. My biggest concerns are separation and scratching.
thanks, I needed this before buying. so many brands out there but flooret was one of my top 2. FYI the Dyson vac link isn't working.
Some vynal click flooring clicks on the ends too - it does not seperate, but it is much harder to install!
We have Bruce hard wood floors. They were only 4yrs old when we moved in and any of it near a window already had faded. Within 5 more yrs all of it needed refinished but we didn't. Now we've lived in our house for 15yrs and we want no more carpet and the wood floors need too much maintenance so I think you made the right decision. Also my wife wants wider planks and you can't beast this price. How is the sound though. I put life proof in our bathrooms. They don't have as thick of a top wear layer but they are thicker and very sound deadening. They feel solid but they are more expensive. Did you compare Home Depot's high end Life Proof to this?
Hi! It’s been awhile since you’ve installed your flooret floors. We’re building and trying to narrow down our flooring. Do you still recommend? Have you solved the gap issue with the planks in the high traffic area and warmer area? Thank you!
I moved in to a new home that has simular type of flooring different brand. It's falling apart now and I have only been here 5 months. I've had cracking, shifting and boards come off and now I need a new floor covering.
Does it feel of good quality? Is it textured to feel like wood floors?
Do you think the beveled edge discoloration issue could have been caught pre installation?
Did the end of the plank lose its locking edge? Try gluing it together with a super glue on that edge.
Quick question.If you happen to read this and have the time to answer.
Did your husband use a backer rod around the perimeter of the floor?
It is like foam/rubber strip to fill in the gaps between the wall and the vinyl.Curious if you guys did and still had/have the separation of the planks.
Either way thanks for sharing your experience.I'm in the process of debating what to install in my own home.Rather have hardwood.But the cost is a little out of reach.
But real people's experience is more valuable than any sales pitch.
Hi John, no he didn’t use that. maybe it would have helped? He left about 1/4” gap as suggested and it’s covered by our baseboards. Our separation is in a high sunlight area & we suspect the heat has a lot to do with our issue here.
Hi Jackie! Thanks for the thorough review! Do you know if you have the 40mil (signature) or the 20mil (base) wear layer?
She has Signature because Base is fairly new -- newer than the video.
When installing, how do you avoid beveling?
The clicking and popping could be attributed to your subfloor. Possibly you needed to screw down portions of your subfloor prior to install.
Your floors are beautiful, you might want to consider getting new register covers or refinishing your old ones, it would really spiff it up!
We do need to do that. I want ones that really blend in, but $$$$
are the bevels white for kingswood?
Do you have a lot of sun exposure in any of your rooms? I have a West facing house with a lot of direct sunlight.
Hi Jackie, how well does your floor hide dust and dirt? Does it leave foot print tracks when you walk on it barefoot or with shoes on?
Dusty footprints when my husband is coming in from working in the garage show up like someone walked through flour. I feel like they show almost anything that isn't sandy. BUT they're super easy to clean.
What did your husband think of the repeat on the flooring? I've seen some comments that there are not many variations in the planks. Of my three board sample, two are identical. That worries me!
Another channel SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO THAT reviewed this flooring and said it was difficult to find a repeating pattern amongst the many boxes he'd purchased.
Eyevac, that's actually a damn good ideeeuh.
Love my eyevac!!
4:59 top plank, Looks to me the locking edge was cut off causing separation
why don't you add some glue? before sliding it back?
We could, but it’s so easy to do this and it works for quite a while. I just don’t want to potentially mess up an easy solution 🤷🏻♀️
Jackie of All Things Domestic Glue will not screw up closing. But it does prevent future separation. The more you close the weaker the joint becomes. Glue is your best bet.
I'm not familiar with the product but sounds like it's a good one and has worked well for you! Beautiful floors! We won't have need for new floors anytime soon but it was still interesting. 😀
It is a good economy option instead of wood! I have been very happy :)
Quick question..do you have any boards coming apart on the sides not the ends like you showed? We are building a new house and I’m searching flooring options. Our house we’re in now has vinyl plank that is separating on the sides, and I don’t want that happening in our new home.
No, I don't have that issue. Out sides are pretty close together; we haven't had any issues with gaps forming there, just the ends.
does food get trapped in the enhanced open bevels?
No
Also I would pull it up and replace the plank with a new plank it has a missing lock edge and maybe the installer did damaged it and didn't think it would be an issue and your left with the issue later. I have had a snap together floor for 20 years and window from floor to ceiling south sun all day long.It's a floating floor so maybe your spot near the vent is damaged when installed.Sun and cold do make a difference but not enough to separate unless it was not installed correctly.
why does he think it won't last so long? It seems like it'd have a 20+ year lifetime
Time for some new vent covers.....
on the list, low priority!
All of a sudden, due to a water leak, I am forced into making a flooring decision for my entire downstairs. Flooret is on my short list. But I don't have much time to research!! Gah!
Yes! We did tons of research and felt like flooret was a good product for $$
We do have exposure to sunrise and early sun. That is where we actually experience most shifting as shown in this video (in our bay window full of sun)
I love how easy to clean, the floors look great. We have some flaws, but I haven’t ever regretted the install.
Experiencing that right now!
Im really sad about my flooring
What color flooret did you install?
Kingswood! we get so many compliments, too!
Wood floors are a nightmare with kids and pets.
I build Early American Reproduction homes, farmhouses, cape codes, vikkies etc and used to install actual pine board flooring but it’s so expensive now I was so happy to find a wide-long plank. HOWEVER, why is there a beveled edge at all? It’s a dirt groove and apparently doesn’t hold the color. A groove or crack between planks was something didn’t want! It’s an engineering flaw and very disappointing.
My husband really liked the look of a beveled edge. BUT ALL THE DIRT LIVES THERE :(
It's a design choice, I believe, that many laminate and LVP flooring brands have adopted to make it appear more like hardwood planks. I don't think beveled edges were an option when I installed my laminate floor 20 years ago.
beautiful eyes girl
nice toes
Cute toes
I cannot recommend this company. We had their flooring professionally installed (floating) in our kids' playroom about 3 years ago - nearly 1000 square feet of product. I reached out to Flooret a couple of weeks ago because we had planks separating at the sides. Flooret's initial response was to suggest that I glue down the separating planks. When I pushed back on that, they offered to send an inspector. The inspector's report states that the gaps were caused by an installation problem because the tolerance for level on this flooring is only 12/64" difference in a 10 foot span. The inspector managed to locate FIVE instances of areas exceeding this standard (none of them by more than 4/64" or 1/16") - OVER NEARLY 1000 SQUARE FEET. So, Flooret now recommends that we "simply apply a wood filler in the gaps that is in a matching color." That's not an acceptable fix. If the flooring is moving because the interlocking installation system is defective, there's no way filler won't simply "pop out." Really disappointing and a very expensive mistake to choose Flooret. So much for a lifetime residential warranty.
I would think that is an installation issue. It sounds like the planks were not put in tight enough to prevent them from moving. Have you reached out to your installer?
That's an installation issue. The subfloor need to be extremely level before laminate or LVP are installed, or they will separate after a while. Installers need to check before the install and fix any issues before the floor goes down.
I have to agree with the others. You would've had this same issue with any LVP, so unless Flooret recommended this installer, it's not their fault
A "One year" testimony is a joke. How about a "10 year" testimony ?
Do you have a time machine for her to use?
How about you just not comment.
