  1. Wonderfully in-depth Amanda! I know a bit an about “floating floorboards” my dad does it for a living, even helped him a few days here and there laying them.

    1. Thank you for your kind comment, Leticia! And my goodness, that’s awesome you have some experience with these floors! Isn’t it such a nice way of laying floors?! My husband tiled our first home and my goodness this click-lock technique goes so much faster, it’s amazing!

  2. Some great tips here. Choosing flooring can be so hard and looking at real samples is so important. I love what you went with in the end.

    1. Thank you! Yes, we like it too! Our dining room is finished and I can’t wait to have this new flooring on most of the first floor of our home!

  3. WOW what a jam packed guide with so much useful information…this makes choosing flooring much easier xx

    1. Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I truly hope it helps others pick out a floor quicker than how long it took my husband and me! haha

  4. I love the flooring options that you choose. Your home looks so clean and bright! We went with hardwood floors (bamboo) and area rugs, and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms.

    1. Thank you! And bamboo is such a healthy option too! We considered it at our first home but our dog’s nails scraped up the samples and we couldn’t pull the trigger. But I’m sure there are better quality ones out there that are great! It sure looks beautiful!

  5. This is a really thorough review of flooring options. If I were to have my way, I’d go for hardwood floors. For me, they make the home feel more cozy. Anything wood is always pretty in a home.

    1. Yes! I love the look and feel of hardwood floors! They were our first choice, but extremely expensive where we live. It wasn’t worth the nearly $35k price tag! I have many other things I’d rather do with the amount of money! 🙂

  6. I always for hardwood or vinyl over carpeting. Love all the looks and designs though. So much great info here!

    1. I totally agree! Carpet is my least favorite for most areas in the home! And thank you for the compliment!

  7. I’m currently working on my place and was thinking for weeks on how the heck I’m going to do with the flooring! I have never done any sort of work like this before. I’ll be bookmarking this post to come back for a second read. Total life saver!

    1. So happy you were able to find this post helpful! Good luck with picking out your floors! It’s exciting when you decide on a favorite!

  8. Wow. This post is truly amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. I think you’ve sold me on SPC flooring! I’ll be following along on your insta to see more updates!!

    1. I’m so glad you liked it! Yes, SPC flooring is definitely working for us so far! We really think it’s an awesome choice!

  9. This is great! So…I’ve seen ads for We Ship Floors but thought they weren’t a legit company! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with them! I will be ordering from them soon! Do you have any affiliate coupon codes I can use?

    1. Haha, I was hesitant at first as well – but WeShipFloors.com is great! I don’t have any affiliate coupon codes, but they usually have a 10-15% off code shown on their website banners!

  10. Wow those are great tips that will help anybody who needs new floors.

  11. Thank you SO much for doing all this research for me! I was feeling stuck and now you helped me make my decision! I’m going to order some free samples from the place you mentioned. Thank youuuuuuuu!

  12. Saw your post on FB and couldn’t wait to read it. This is so helpful, you don’t even know! We almost went with a cheap vinyl from Lowe’s and I’m so glad I stopped to research more. I had no clue they could be toxic! You’re a life saver!

  13. Now that a little time has passed, update please? Do you still love your floors? I am considering ordering the same flooring from we ship floors and it’s hard to find reviews on SPC flooring. Would love to know how it’s wearing for you! Thanks!

    1. We really love them! The look is awesome and we constantly get compliments! We haven’t seen scratches from our dogs’ nails at all. There is only one location where we’ve noticed deep scratches – by our island where our daughter’s sit on the counter stools. Our stools have rough edges around their “feet” and the girls’ would drop the stools down (by accident) then drag them on the ground to pick them back up. That caused some deep scratches. Since we’ve added little “feet” protectors on the chairs, we haven’t seen any more pop up. You can only see them if you are about 12″ from the floor looking down at them though. This specific color-way is really forgiving! Hope this helps!
