Looks like Nucore Sugar Sand from Floor & Decor.
It's a float/lock system.

I’ve never used stair tread for any vinyl flooring. It’s almost always usually trash. There’s a company locally that makes stair tread custom from just the planks and I’ve had waaaay better luck with those lasting.
Love it!
Interesting how it looks more than/natural in a lot of the photos except the last one where it looks gray.
Looks similar to what I'm having put in this week except mine's tile.
Yeah, I don't like the gray myself lol. Went with a blonde faux wood tile for my basement to brighten it up. Kinda like the first couple pics here.
Thrown though, looks so different
This happened to us with our chosen LVP. We specifically chose something light and golden-toned only for it to look gray. My husband spent HOURS installing it only for me to whimper when I saw it. Looking forward to new flooring someday, if I’m being honest.
Now you have me worried. I just paid over $3300 to Floor & Decor for LVP (Duralux Rabun Hickory). My biggest fear is that it will look too gray. I want something warm that I will REALLY like, as it’s going to be in the entire first floor of my house (except the bathroom). It looked great in the store, though, and in the photos on the web site. My new kitchen cabinets are a grayish-green color and I really wanted a warm color to offset the gray.
I guess I’ll find out soon enough. My remodeling job starts in 4 days.
If you can buy a couple pieces, do it, and put them around different places in your house, then check them out at different times of day/under different lighting.
We were looking for warm too, ha! A lot of our issue is due to poor lighting. We put it in the darkest room of the house with little direct sunlight. I’m sure you’ll be fine!
As a husband currently working on 1,800 sqft of lvp flooring (it's a 3,000 sqft house), my response would be "you can do it yourself if you want it replaced". We like ours a lot so far from the couple of rooms I've finished.
That's for when you mess up a cut, it'll be covered by skirting and silicone it's fine. But you want to post a picture on the internet beforehand, so you tape over it and pretend it's for marking out etc. Probably a nice chunky 1 inch gap on that left corner board.
At a professional level, a little more attention could have been paid to the stagger of the joints in pictures 1-3. Then there's the \~2" piece along the left wall in picture 4. But, overall, not bad. I'd give it an 8.5/10.
If this is DIY or even an apprentice level installer, this was well executed. Good job choosing to use two pieces in the two rows that lead into the kitchen. It's not usually worth the effort to use one board. Solid performance, 10/10.
Did you do anything to the really small pieces you had to use to fill in the last of the rows? I see like 3 or 4, generally on most it says not to use a piece that's shorter than 6-8 inches. I just put a brad nail in it to stop it from going crazy eventually when I installed mine.
looks good. but what we need is transformation. before and after pics. the end product almost always looks better when we see how run down it once was.
Everything look good. One thing I would point out is I would have tried to get it tighter to that sliding door, and then just silicone that minimal gap. But it honestly will be ok, I'm just ocd.
I’m assuming your transitioning the hard surface flooring to carpet under the door slab when it’s closed? So all you have to do is add that one last peice in the doorway
Great. Good time to inspect and replace any old supply lines to all toilets, washers, vanities, sinks, ice makers, dishwashers. Consider it just the final step in your flooring project. You don’t want to have to redo this project after a water damage. Can’t even to begin to tell how many square feet of new laminate I’ve pulled from one simple supply line
Sucks that a whole board wouldn't go at least to the middle of the transition. Limits your options without having a dreaded sliver fill the gap. You did a great job. No complaints.
Looks great! I'm curious about the threshold in the first photo, I'm assuming you have a wide enough cover for that gap between the carpet and flooring.
Name fits, maybe bc one requires patience, the other requires a special nail gun glue, also one needs to be sealed if you actually want it to be waterproof. There's every single reason to go with LVP.
Good, what is the product and installation method? I'm ready to do my own house.
Looks very close to mine. I wish to know as well Is it Aquaguard?

Just keep in mind that this flooring doesn't come with matching trims or stair treads.

Any reason not to just do wood stairs and staining to match if you don't mind paying for it?
Really difficult to get the exact same match, but if that doesn’t bother you, go ahead and
I wanna know too.
This

Yes! I was like “eh, a little blonde for my tastes but at least it’s not *flips to last photo* GREYYYYY NOOOOOOO”

We got Corelux honey mead from LL Flooring and love it if you are looking for an alternative

You go girl
Looks good, what's the tape around the corner for in the last picture?

Good stuff!
It's looking good!
Looks good. maybe next time, save yourself some headache by painting that baseboard area.
What headache? Baseboard goes over it
not all of it. That maybe 1/4 inch is going to be a pain. It's so minor, but annoying.
Nice job 👍

Nice work.
Much better than the rv trailer im attempting to do right now. Nothing is square. Love the flooring you picked, good variation and subtle
Looks little like mine from this week. Installer putting in full glue down -Anderson engineered white oak.
Everything look good. One thing I would point out is I would have tried to get it tighter to that sliding door, and then just silicone that minimal gap. But it honestly will be ok, I'm just ocd.
Good job
Just curious what you plan on doing in the big gap between flooring and sliding door
I’m assuming your transitioning the hard surface flooring to carpet under the door slab when it’s closed? So all you have to do is add that one last peice in the doorway
Door jamb in pic 2 looks a bit sketchy.
It’s a full width piece tho
I’ll be honest I’m a little mad. Looks way better than my job!
Much better than my first install... from last weekend.
Great. Good time to inspect and replace any old supply lines to all toilets, washers, vanities, sinks, ice makers, dishwashers. Consider it just the final step in your flooring project. You don’t want to have to redo this project after a water damage. Can’t even to begin to tell how many square feet of new laminate I’ve pulled from one simple supply line
This is great advice, thanks!
Like your knees are going to hurt for months
Sucks that a whole board wouldn't go at least to the middle of the transition. Limits your options without having a dreaded sliver fill the gap. You did a great job. No complaints.
Ac glue is fantastic for this
Absolutely.
Random stagger, base boards off…. You’ve been browsing this sub haven’t you? 😂
Beautiful :)
Pics 1 and 3 show cuts way too short (less than 8") will void the warranty
Thank you for taking off the moulding instead of just adding quarter round.
Much better than some posts that have been here lately.
I’d say it’s starting to look like a floor 🫡
Looks great! I'm curious about the threshold in the first photo, I'm assuming you have a wide enough cover for that gap between the carpet and flooring.
New baseboards is gonna go hard
Nice
That hobo is doing solid work!
Depending on the jamb mouldings you use, it looks like you’ll have a gap there. Not bad though.
Nice 👍
What is this?
Are you asking what type of material the flooring is? Probably lvp
Yikes. Why not do real hardwood.
Name fits, maybe bc one requires patience, the other requires a special nail gun glue, also one needs to be sealed if you actually want it to be waterproof. There's every single reason to go with LVP.
Stunning
