Hi all,
We are building a new house and need to select our flooring. Our home will be 2 storeys, carpet upstairs.
I am seriously considering vinyl planks (about 2 mt long) for downstairs. Choices flooring has a great looking product on sale for $98sqm installed, with 15yr warranty.
We had solid timber installed (blackbutt wide) in our last house and whilst I loved the detail, the boards shrunk so we had gaps and it scratched/dinged. For a premium product I was disappointed, especially with the shrinking (we are in Perth).
I would love to hear any feedback on the vinyl planks - Choices also had some at $38 Sqm - I guess we would go with the $98 version.... Colour/size/warranty
Many thanks

Hi, Those sound lovely, have a look at a good quality Bamboo too - must be strand woven and cold pressed if you're in Perth. Its so hard and scratch resistant - almost scratch proof. I'm sure it would be stronger than laminate, and quite economic. I love ours and I don't panic about the dog coming in occasionally (or my stilettos)
Hi Denten, assuming you went with the vinyl plank, good to your experience, we are in the same position with our new built
Choices is an absolute rip off

Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity.
