The planks have been designed with innovative GripStrip technology. The interlocking-edge design makes for a fast-paced professional installation job. Lay the overlapping GripStrip of one plank on the adjacent plank and press them together. That’s all there is to it. You will need little more than a utility knife in your tool kit. The planks are simply scored and snapped. Each box is enough for around 24 square feet. The cost is in the region of $1.80 per square feet, which makes it really affordable. You won’t even have to add the cost of an underlayment. The joints need to be staggered, otherwise you will have a weak floor that doesn’t look natural.

Use your common sense during installation of the floor. Start against a wall, not in the middle of the room. Don’t try to work with the whole length of the plank. Start at one end and do the rest of the section bit by bit from there. If you want to do some test-fitting, use the paper that is in the packaging - just check first that these won’t stick to the glued side.

Due to the nature of the Trafficmaster Allure Oak Resilient Plank Flooring installation, it will be possible to lift a section of flooring and replace it in the event of a mishap. You will even be able to dry the subfloor if there is some sort of flooding. Once you start to work with this floor covering, you will notice that there is minimal wastage. You can use fairly small pieces and thin strips without a problem. With laminates this approach probably won’t be a good idea.

It is easier to maneuver planks to fit than with laminates. Also, due to the nature of the material, the planks are far more flexible. This makes your job much easier, especially around cabinets. Be careful to keep the edges super clean from grit and dust if you don’t want to complicate your job.

Trafficmaster laminate flooring and real hardwood floors, as well as carpet tiles are other options. However, the realistic look and reasonable price of the vinyl Trafficmaster Allure Oak Resilient Plank Flooring makes it an ideal decor choice throughout your home. This seems like a great way to use your Home Depot coupon!
