Hi, I’m looking at flooring for our new home and had been considering vinyl planks as the preferred option for hallways, living areas and kitchen/dining.
We are currently in a rental property while we build, and the laminate flooring in that house shows water splashes, footprints and also paw prints from the dog. I clean it with vinegar/water at least once a day, but don’t want to have to constantly do that in our new house.
Do vinyl planks have been the same problem of showing every footprint as laminate floors appear to do?
Am I better getting a lighter colour with texture, rather than a smooth plank?
Any advice would be welcome. 😀

Forum Flooring & Floor Covering Re: Flooring that does not show footprints 2Jan 09, 2019 11:08 am Hi, my 2 month old home has Karndean Luxury Vinyl Planks for all rooms. Its a great product however prints ARE visible. I have Mountain Spotted Gum which is a dark shade. I now think that I should have opted for a lighter shade. See my other posts for flooring photos.  08 Oct 2018 70 Loyal Member Re: Flooring that does not show footprints 3Jan 09, 2019 4:11 pm  IamSAMHi, my 2 month old home has Karndean Luxury Vinyl Planks for all rooms.

Thx IamSAM, I have seen (and admired) your photos and wondered if they might be harder to upkeep because of the colour. I’ve also looked at hybrid flooring and am now thinking that may be the way to go. Unfortunately we decided to sell out villa in Greece but we were working on this project from zero. So it was planed carefully, if you need any help or advise you can… 59 10155 I’ve read through a number of timber flooring threads and it seems quite difficult to be confident about timber flooring companies in Perth unless they are larger… 0 1110  Pick an inconspicuous spot and chip at the edge of one of those ridges (chisel or similar), taking a tiny chip out will show you if its real slate or not. 1 402 |
