Re: Vinyl Plank Flooring 6Oct 29, 2010 12:32 pm Hi Anthony, I take it then that Allure don't produce a vinyl plank with a smooth surface? I love the concept of the floating floor, and the saving on prep / laying is huge, but think that the rippled surface makes the product look plastic. After all, not many (if any) real wood floors have rippled surfaces....they are all sanded smooth.

I love the concept of the floating floor, and the saving on prep / laying is huge, but think that the rippled surface makes the product look plastic. After all, not many (if any) real wood floors have rippled surfaces....they are all sanded smooth. They have various textures, but generally they are embossed. Ironically, the most expensive pvc floors, like Art Select from Karndean, are VERY textured to emulate the old style timber grains and textures...and the cheap ones have almost no texture at all...Some colours are more anad some less embossed in Allure - you need to look at the range in its entirety, including allure garage and allure boutique. Also, youll see Amtico planks on offer which are smoother. Re: Vinyl Plank Flooring 9Oct 23, 2014 12:11 am what sort of prices are people being quoted per sqm for the allure floors?
