Customer Reviews for Armstrong Flooring American Home Indigo Blush 12 MIL x 6.5 in. W x 48 in. L Glue Down Waterproof Vinyl Plank Flooring (34.66 sqft/case)

This came out exactly as I had hoped! It is beautiful flooring and has transformed my mudroom/laundry room/pantry into a classy space. It is super comfortable to walk on. I also chose it because it is waterproof.

Had a steep slope in my laundry room leading to my drain. Couldn’t cover it up or use a self leveling product in case of flood. Used this glue down product and it was moldable and looks amazing. Couldn’t be happier. I had professional installation, but he said it was simple and cut well.

+ For walls: horribly easy installation on tape + grain etched/bossed, sells well - less wood-effect than horrible-installing laminate I ordered three cases of vinyl plank -- sight unseen, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this stuff presents no surprises, they're pliable, easy to work with, easy to line up on glue, terribly easy to floor a wall with. The only downside for me was figuring out how to cut them -- I can't keep a straight edge or square motionless on top of them, which doesn't matter because my hand insists on making circles with a boxy cutter anyway. I wound up using a miter saw, chipped a few ends with it, figured out how to brace the plank without cutting off my fingers. I suspect one of those iron guillotine paper cutters they had in the elementary school office would work perfectly. I went with Armstong's Platinum; Indigo Blush has a nice gray tone but every once in a while its "red"/brown pops more than I wanted; their Platinum is just dark grey. I've got a mix of 3000k and 5000k LEDs in the bathroom I was wall-flooring, and that mix might account for the color shifts I kept seeing. I included a picture of a kitchen backsplash wall I did a horrible job on, with 12mm laminate -- laminate I think generally has a thicker "picture" base, so their grain will sell better than vinyl, but if you have *any* issues that pop up during installation, laminate is there to make your life that much more miserable. My sink/counter is a morgue sink/counter, bolted into the concrete floor, at a slight angle to the drywall; nothing in this house was assembled with a framing square nor plumb so getting the end planks to fit behind the counter was fighting about 8 axies at once. You can see where planks needed to create a gap behind the pre-rinse, with the exposed tongue-in-groove (which I'll saw off every piece of laminate I see for the rest of my life, they just cause problems.) Point being: the six hours of fighting the kitchen wall, plus routing the laminate, would have taken ~20 minutes with the vinyl, including "routing" (ie cutting circles with a box cutter.) The grain might sell better, but the exposed MDF tongue sells me as a failure. See instead the vinyl planked hazmat coffin I made to reface my tub -- ugly, but took no time at all. And from any distance it does sell as wood paneling.

Amazing, great color, easy to install and changes the look of the room. This is the second room I have used Armstrong vinyl flooring. This first was flooring was firmer, where this was more rubbery. Used to modernize a bathroom. Very clean looking and being water proof is a big plus. The thickness is perfect, thick enough to be strong, and thin enough that I didn't have to remove the old glued down tile floor. Installation is straight forward. I started along the bathtub. Trimming around door frames required me to make a cardboard template, but it worked well. I cut every piece before installing and wrote a sequence number on the back in permanent marker. I used a trowel to spread the adhesive following directions. Wear gloves the adhesive is messy. There was plenty of movement to set the planks cleanly. Glad I cut the planks before spreading the adhesive. I do not have a weighted roller so i placed cardboard down and used a dumbbell. This is very easy and painless and looks great. Would be easier with a helper.

The reason for the two good marks are the glue can be tricky if your not careful and it has not been down long enough to know exactly how durable it is so that will affect the quality stars for me. Love the look and feel as we were taking these out of the box. Were very careful gluing and followed all the instructions. The flooring looks amazing and was easy to cut where it needed to be cut. The gloss is a really nice low sheen to it, very happy with this choice.

The Armstrong American Home Indigo Blush has to look of wood but not the work. Luxury vinyl is the only flooring you will ever need. Looks good as is or you can throw a rug on it to define it. You can clean it up it the corners and the edge! I hate carpet because you can't do this. The vinyl is waterproof so the dog can get his dirty feet on it and it's a breeze too clean up!!!

The Armstrong Indigo Blush glue-down luxury vinyl plank is a great value for the price especially if you plan to install it in a room that isn't prone to super-high traffic. In my opinion, for high traffic areas, you might want a thicker, more substantial vinyl plank like the LifeProof luxury vinyl plank from Home Depot that we used in the kitchen and dining room. The price of this flooring reflects the fact that it doesn't have attached underlayment like LifeProof does and it isn't as thick but with this, underlayment is not required. We used this in a storage room that also serves as the back entrance to our home. It looks fantastic and the color is just right. The grey-blue is neutral and the color is light enough not to show every speck of lint and dust. It is easy to cut with a utility knife. It is waterproof so this is an excellent type of flooring for mudrooms and basements.

Vinyl flooring has come a long way!! This Armstrong luxury vinyl plank flooring has exceeded my expectations. It was easy to install, just went and bought glue off the shelf at Home Depot for vinyl floors. Used a 1/4” trowel to lay glue. Just make sure the underpayment is level!, you will have difficulty if not and it won’t look right. It looks great and was easy to install.

Indigo Blush is an absolutely gorgeous gray plank flooring by Armstrong American Home. I love it so much. The luxury vinyl planks are gently textured with several different wood grain designs in each box. Their variations blend seamlessly together. Installation of vinyl flooring was so much easier than ceramic tile, because the vinyl floor planks can be cut with a utility knife. I highly recommend using a straight edge ruler to keep your line from wavering while cutting the vinyl flooring to fit, especially when you'll be shaving an inch or two off the width of several planks. It's easy for the line to drift way off course, and is crooked before you know what happened. I'm really pleased with the softness of the vinyl flooring, and how comfortable it feels walking on it.

I'm a fan of luxury vinyl planks and have used different types in several homes throughout the years. I like the easy maintenance and features like scratch resistance, waterproof, and price! The best part is that they look really nice and you aren't paying the high price of having a professional installer put these in! You simply use a utility knife or heavy duty scissor to cut them. My box of planks did not include the instructions or indicate the recommended glue to use. Since this is my first attempt at a glue-down plank, I had to go online at Homedepot.com in search of this information. I found it under the same type of planking but in a different color. https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/38/38cb0ec3-d446-41f7-9201-833864da7e90.pdf. These planks look beautiful but they do not have a beveled edge which would have made them look more realistic to real wood planks. They are easy to install, VERY flexible, and thin enough to cut easily with a utility knife. If you simply score the plank, you can bend it and it will snap apart. For my tiny bathroom I just staggered 2 planks rather than stagger 3 pieces like I normally do for larger rooms. These planks can be installed over concrete, flat tiles, wooden subfloors and more. No underlayment required. I installed them over tile that I cracked when I dropped a heavy tool. The tile was still flat so no problems. When these planks are exposed to water, they will not swell, buckle or lose their integrity. Perfect for bathrooms, basements or areas that get wet like entryways. This flooring is in the gray family. All in all, I like this planking and it was quite easy to install and it looks great!

This flooring looks nice, is easy to install/glue down on the sub-floor, and when it comes time to cut and notch around where necessary, it cuts easily with shears. There are different finishes but I like the Indigo Blush because it is not so dark it seems to swallow light but it is dark enough not to show every speck of dirt in the mudroom. That is where I installed mine. Carpeting was there before and it always took a beating coming into the house no matter what I tried to do to control foot traffic in bad weather. Now, I do not have that problem. What I like: easy to use, looks nice, easy to install, good price, good warranty, easily used on plywood (a vapor barrier is not needed) or concrete. The flooring is water-proof so anywhere you have humidity, this is what you want to use; it has a limited lifetime warranty for home use. I must admit I was surprised my installation turned out so nice. I recommend this product especially if you want simple with good results. It looks nice!

AMERICAN HOME INDIGO BLUSH 6.5 IN. X 48 IN. GLUE DOWN LUXURY VINYL PLANK (34.66 SQ. FT. / CASE), INDIGO BLUSH LOW GLOSS is a great vinyl floor that should be glue down. It has a realistic pattern with good texture. Low gloss make this floor look luxurious. Smooth back is easy to glue down. Since it is vinyl plank, this is very easy to clean. This floor would be great for a family with children or even for a wet area. Overall this is a great floor for general use.

I like that this flooring is solid vinyl making it truly waterproof, this is a must for us with muddy dogs and messy kids. The planks are nice and thick , just for testing I lightly sanded and it didn't wear the color, actually you can barely see the scratch marks because of the low luster finish which is great. So if you have a little experience in vinyl installation - these are high quality and a fraction of the cost of other options. But if your a novice , a few things to keep in mind- The installation is glue down only, the seams just butt against each other. Even though the description says no underlayment required- depending on what your going over - you might want to look further into it because you may need a underlayment. Because these tiles need to lay completely flat to make the seams meet up - if there's even small imperfections in the floor under it - you will end up with the seams out of wack and it looks pretty bad, maybe even dry fit before you start glue and you will if the tiles dont want to sit flat. Also you should count on needing , maybe renting, a 100lb roller, because again the seams look pretty bad if they pop because of improper adhesion.

ARMSTRONG AMERICAN HOME INDIGO BLUSH GLUE DOWN VINYL PLANK FLOORING IS WELL MADE AND ATTRACTIVE. I LIKE THE VARIATION OF PATTERNS IN THE FLOORING THAT PRETTY MUCH ELIMINATES PATTERN REPEATS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DURABLE VINYL FLOORING THAT SHOULD WEAR WELL IN MOST HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. THE MAKEUP OF THE FLOORING ALLOWS FOR IT TO USED IN DAMP AREAS LIKE BATHROOMS, KITCHENS AND CONCRETE BASEMENTS. THIS IS A GLUE DOWN PRODUCT SO ATTENTION HAS TO BE FOCUSED ON THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SO YOU GET THINGS CORRECT THE FIRST TIME. I WOULD HAVE LIKED IT TO HAVE MORE OF A TONGUE AND GROOVE DESIGN SO AS TO GIVE A TRUE WOOD FLOOR LOOK. THE SHIPPING BOX WAS VERY FLIMSY AND HAD A LOT OF SHIPPING DAMAGE BUT THE FLOORING WAS OK. I LIKE THIS FLOORING AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

I purchased this vinyl flooring for use as prop flooring and wall covering for a photography studio. I love the flexibility of vinyl flooring for that kind of thing. As for flooring itself, the box covers 34 sq ft (16 "planks"), and lays very well. It also feels very tough and has a decent thickness. The box I'd gotten managed to fall over and get twisted and wedged between some stuff in my shop and still laid perfectly flat when I started working it. Don't forget your vinyl adhesive!

Very nice thick glue down vinyl planks. These are very durable and have a nice finish. My dad even thought these were real wood flooring when he saw them on the floor. Easy to line up and stagger. The planks fit nice together and a snap to use. Just pre layout trim where needed glue down and you are done! This design seems to minimize waste vs using vinyl tile squares .

I picked these up to use as counter-tops. They actually look really good. What gave me the idea was that they were water proof and guaranteed not to swell or bow with moisture. Just don't set a hot pan on them. They were easy to lay out and cut and very easy to glue down. The seams in the pics aren't there anymore since they are glued down now. I took 2 pictures so you can see the color difference at 2 angles. I highly recommend these great vinyl planks for a flooring option and I recommend them for different projects like counter tops/walls. I may seal them with epoxy or something for heat protection.

The Armstrong American Home Indigo Blush 6 1/2in. x 48in. glue down luxury vinyl plank ( 34.66sq.ft./carton ) is a beautiful color. These planks are 0.080in. thick with a nice low gloss finish. They have a urethane wear layer that protects against scratches,scuffs and stains. I have a small room that I want to mix a few different colors for a look that I like. The planks can be installed over both concrete and wooden sub floors.Very good quality.

We placed this in our bathroom. This was our first time installing anything to be glued down. I recommend that you wait until the glue is tacky before settling down each piece. We did the first section wet, per the glue instructions, and the pieces slid. After we adjusted that, each piece went down nicely. They were very easy to cut with a utility knife. Where we had the glue mishap, there were small lumps, however the rest of it laid down nicely and smooth. It feels great underfoot. It has held up under heavy moisture since its installation. I have had many compliments. Love it. Had to find the instructions online.

This vinyl flooring from Armstrong is inexpensive when compared to other types of flooring, with each case covering about 34 sq. ft. I had not worked with vinyl previously, and was surprised at how thin and flexible the planks were as I removed them from their box, but also was impressed with how closely they resemble natural wood. The grain and coloration of the flooring adds a lot of depth. The color of this flooring is grey with light brown overtones that give the appearance of aged wood. The grain pattern is subtle but is pronounced enough to provide grip, so the flooring isn’t slippery. When installed, it’s difficult to distinguish this vinyl flooring from natural hardwood plank flooring. The planks are cut square on the edges, not beveled, and are installed with each plank butting up tight against the next, without overlapping, and you can install them tight to the wall or baseboard. Unlike hardwood, engineered flooring, and most laminates, this flooring is entirely waterproof which makes it ideal installation in any room or level of your home, even in a damp basement. This is my first time installing glue-down vinyl flooring, and it wasn’t difficult, but you do have to install the first row perfectly straight and take care not to make a mess with the glue. To install, snap a chalk line across the room. Working from the corner of the room opposite the door, you pour glue on the floor being sure not to cover the chalk line, and spread it out with a notch trowel, much like you would with mortar for ceramic tile. Once the glue was applied, I put a row of vinyl flooring down on the glue, and pressed it into place with a rubber roller to ensure good and even adhesion with the glue. I’ve also seen this product used to create an interesting accent wall. The product trims easy with a razor knife. The finished floor looks great, and I am very satisfied with it.

Great looking vinyl planks. Each plank measures approximately 6 and a half inches in width and 48 inches in length..A little darker than what they appear to be online. High quality material and waterproof. Cuts east with a box cutter or bladed knife. You will need an adhesive to lay the vinyl. I got a can of the 3M Rubber and Vinyl 80 Spray Adhesive and it seems to hold it down really well. Installing in the master bath, but there isn't a lot of heavy traffic in that bathroom anyway,, Great price point...

This AMERICAN HOME INDIGO BLUSH 6.5 IN. X 48 IN. GLUE DOWN LUXURY VINYL PLANK (34.66 SQ. FT. / CASE) arrived quickly and in somewhat satisfactory condition as the factory carton is rather flimsy and easily bent and or twisted by regular shipping carriers. This is a glue down product and requires somewhat more planning and effort to install over peel and stick varieties. IF you've never used a glue down product before then watch a few videos and perform a general trial layout sans adhesive for best results and least frustration. The flooring itself is of good quality and the finish pattern I got looks fantastic where I'll be installing it

If you had suffered before with the laminate floor material by water penetration into it. Due to underlayer of the laminate material is not water proof. Now, you can install the vinyl plank to solve this problem. This vinyl floor plank is manufactured by Armstrong, which is famous in flooring qulaity material. When pull out from the box, this vinyl material is pretty soft. The material is feeling strong and tough. Size is correctly as description. the plank is ready for installtion once pull out from the box. I figured out the first step after you remove the old flooring material. Before installation you have to Clean and Leveling the whole floor which you are going to put the new plank on it. If you are not a experience DIY. I suggest to hire a pro to handle the job will much secure in perfection. A glue is require for installtion. For water proof flooring mainly apply in kitchen or basement which mostly water attack area. Trim of cut you only need a sharp knife will be done. There are different color available for your selection. Thinking of water resistant floor plank, this may be one of the Best choice for you.

I really like the color. I chose to utilize this product as a headboard piece rather than flooring. It looks great but I feel like there are better options when going this route. I wish that these planks would have been interlocking. With having to glue them down, it was a little messy at the seams. I think that this product would be better off as a solid roll out sheet, rather than planks. I did get the look that I was going for though.

I first saw this vinyl flooring in a luxury vacation rental and was super impressed with how nice it looked and how easy it was to take care of. What a wonderful product! Where were these planks when I tiled my entire first floor using porcelain tiles? I need a flooring that is waterproof - these luxury vinyl tiles are vinyl all the way through and completely waterproof. They come in nice 48 inch lengths so there are fewer seams and are very easy to cut using a ruler and utility knife. Installation using the recommended adhesive is very easy (so much easier and less messy than porcelain tile). If you need durable waterproof flooring that is easy to install, I highly recommend these luxury vinyl tiles.

Absolutely gorgeous color!! Love it.

Easy to install. Exactly what we were looking for.

Easy to install and looks great

I want to start by saying I never write reviews about products. This may be the first tike ever. I’m in the middle of an entire remodel of our first floor. My wife convninced me to try this flooring. When I saw how low the price was, I was won over to give it a shot. I am an above average DIYer, i havebuilt dining tables, refinished our kitchen cabinets,installed pario doors, hung drywall, and built a bar. I remodeled an entire rental apartment we own a few years ago. I like to think I know a thing or two about home improvement. This product humbled me. First, the glue is not easy to work with if you dont have experience. I had a hard tome getting it even and figuring out when to apply the flooring (you have to give it some time to start setting). Then, I had a hard time getting the planks to fit together evenly. I did lay new underlay and it was fairly level. Still I had several edges that appeared “buckled.” I could not fix this no matter what I tried. In a 10x12 area, there were probably 25 seams that were raised. It didnt look bad per se, but in time I knew the kids running through the house would pull it up further. After two days, i was unhappy and stopped laying it. I decided to go woth a floating floor which is more DIY friendly and that I had experience with previously. It cost just 40 cents more per foot for a decent locking vinyl floor. If you dont have experience with laying floorijg using glue, I encourage you to go with the more user friendly product. I do want to note, the product itself is beautiful and could be great with the proper knowledge about instslling it.

Looks great lays easy. Key tested and did not scratch. Time will tell. Buy so far so good.
