is this 100 % water proof?
Asked by victoria April 6, 20211
AnswerHi Victoria, This product is a waterproof flooring which means that it would take 72 hours for standing water to penetrate the seam. We have a Consumer Concierge team available if you have additional questions or concerns. We can be reached at askshaw@shawinc.com or (844) 742-7429, Monday through Friday, 8 am until 6 pm est. ~kj

Asked by Akabeccab March 6, 20212
AnswersThat’s a good question, I would make sure the LVP was as clean as possible then I would put some good adhesive on top of it before you lay down the vinyl flooring But then again I am no professional contractor by any means.
Does this work with floor heat?
Asked by Penn February 25, 20211
AnswerThank you for the question, Penn. Shaw Inspiration Vinyl Plank flooring can be installed over a radiant heated concrete subfloor as long as the heating systems components have a minimum 1/2" separation from the flooring product. For your convenience, I have added a link to the Installation Guidelines here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/b0/b09a4f78-f38d-479a-a383-7d81cd4c654b.pdf. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact a member of our Consumer Concierge team at 844-742-7429 or email us at askshaw@shawinc.com. We are available Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 6 PM Eastern Standard Time. ~kj
Can this be installed directly over Dricore, or do you need an intermediate layer?
Asked by Mac February 17, 20211
AnswerHi Mac! Thank you for your interest in Shaw Inspiration. Adding a moisture barrier is optional; however, we recommend that any moisture issues be remedied before installation. Should the DRIcore fail to keep the moisture out and the flooring fails, it could compromise your warranty if there is evidence of moisture in the subfloor. If you need additional assistance or have other questions, please feel free to directly reach out to our Consumer Concierge team by calling 844-749-7429 or email us at askshaw@shawinc.com. We are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. ~kj

Asked by Tom February 5, 20211
AnswerThis product does not require any underlayment. An underlayment approved for glue down vinyl floors can be used for noise reduction if desired, but is not needed or required for proper installation. If you have further questions regarding Shaw Inspiration Vinyl Plank Flooring, please contact our Consumer Concierge team at 844-742-7429 or email us at askshaw@shawinc.com. We are available Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 6 PM Eastern Standard Time. ~kj

Floor is great with one exception. Out of the 7 patterns that come in the boxes 2 of the patterns show up 3 times as much as the others. If you care about keeping the patterns from repeating too often I would recommend adding 20% extra to you count. In the picture the 2 stacks behind the other piles are all the extras of the 2 patterns I set aside to avoid repeating patterns too often.

We will mix and match the Forest, Overcast, and Meadowland flooring to create a multi-color pattern that will blend together. The project is still in the planning stages right now. Our home was built in 1959 and was used mostly as a summer retreat. The existing wood has many dings and gouges. Bondo makes a great filler to level out the substrate. A rubber roller works great to press the laminate down onto the adhesive. If you press along the vinyl it develops a surface tension and snaps back. This effect is small, but could lead to gaps in the flooring that would make both the flooring and the installer look less professional than they are.

Good afternoon HomeDepotCustomer. Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this great review on Inspiration. We are very thankful for the helpful installation advise for our future readers. We do recommend that all flooring be rolled with a minimum 100-lb roller after installation. Use a hand roller in areas not reached with a 100-lb. Thank you again for the great review and we hope that you continue to enjoy your new floors. ~clf

Good afternoon HomeDepotCustomer. Thank you for taking your time and submitting this great review on Inspiration. We do recommend installation on original wood floors that are nailed/stapled to a wood subfloor as long as they are structurally sound, level and fastened or bonded adequately. Also, all flooring must be rolled with a minimum 100-lb roller after installation. Use a hand roller in areas not reached with a 100-lb. roller. Thank you again for submitting the review and for the helpful advise for future readers.We would love to see photos once the installation is complete. If you would like to share your photos, please send them to askshaw@shawinc.com. Thank you again.~clf

Luxury Vviyl plank flooring is an awesome invention - it gives a nice wood finish, yet it's 100% waterproof. There are certain areas where this product makes a lot of sense. We use it in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom and laundry room. Anywhere where water is going to be present.
Installation: This is not our first attempt at installing Luxury Vinyl plank flooring. I've done it two other times, so I'm getting much better at it. The pros - super easy to trim, lays nice and flat and installation goes fast. The cons - the glue is super messy, any damage to the subfloor shows through and it's easy to get things off square (edges are not parallel to the wall). The method I use is - I first make sure the sub floor is good - no divots and flat. I start at a doorway, then cut the pieces and lay them out. When i get to the edges, I carefully cut them to size and lay them on the floor. After all the pieces are cut, I go back to the doorway and pull a few rows of planks. I then put the glue on the floor and use a trowel with short "v" shaped notches. I then let the glue dry until it's no longer tacky, then I carefully lay the plank and push it in place. Then I do the next plank until I'm at the edge of the glued area. I then pull more planks and do the same until the floor is done.
How does it look: I don't think many will confuse it for real wood. Yes, the planks have grain and a nice pattern printed, but it's definitely not wood. I will say that it looks good and it makes the room look good. I posted pictures of the vinyl flooring near the cabinets and appliances. It definitely looks much better than the old flooring.
My rating. I love this stuff, so it gets a 5 star. Appearance is really nice, but please know that it's not like a real wood floor. Quality is good and it feels like it'll last a long time. Ease of installation is 3 of 5, because of the messy glue and waiting for the glue to "dry" before laying the planks.
I highly recommend this Luxury Vinyl plank flooring!

This is a nice product that is not only good for floors, But as you can see in the pic below It can be used for a wall decoration as well. In my RV the walls are covered with 1/4 inch lauan plywood. I decided to put this up using Roberts 2057 VCT adhesive(from Home Depot). It will cover the walls well and will add an extra layer of protection and insulation. Easy to cut with a razor knife and a straight edge, an easy DIY project for any level of skill. Whether your using it on a wall or floor it works well and adds protection. Looks great and easy to do...

We needed to update the flooring in our mudroom. It had original red oak flooring from the 1950s and we were reluctant to replace it with a vinyl product. However once we saw this product and reviewed its durability, we were sold. It was easy to put down with mastic and it looks amazing. I took the pictures of the floor during the layout. It is much more weather resistant than the old wood flooring and my wife loves it.
Install note: Most strips have a light side and a dark side running the length of the strip. It's critical to match the dark sides to the next panel. It looks amazing and the spaces between the strips completely disappear!
