I could not be any happier with this floor. It is exactly what i was hoping for. Definitly recommend opening and laying multiple boxes at a time to get the look. Can wait for the kitchen install this week! Floor looks amazing!

We have had it for a year and I have this throughout my entire house. I have a pool and Hottub so I wanted a flooring that I didn’t have to worry about water damage. I also have a dog and it holds up with pet traffic. The multi tones of light and dark browns and grays allows a neutral feel. We love it! I gave it a four because sometimes when installing it was a little tricky to get it to go together perfectly.

This flooring is wonderful. My husband installed it quite easily. There are grooves that snap one piece into the other. We weren't sure we would like them when we opened the box. This flooring was going in a small bathroom, so beware that it comes in three different sizes and about 5 different colors. We were able to piece together the color combo we wanted, but it would definitely work better in a large room.

Used it to replace the warped mdf below my corner kitchen sink without removing counter top. Was able to cut out mdf assemble planks and use mdf as template. Scored and snapped planks in little over an hour. Will use this product again.

Easy to install with the right tools and the finished product looks like real wood. They seem very durable too. Like it with matching quarter round and reducer transition pieces. Very pleased with the purchase and the neighbors are awed with how nice it looks after I finished the DIY install. I replaced my carpet with this product and couldn’t be more pleased with how it looks

We love the color and pattern of this flooring. We discovered that it is actually very brittle and lots of the edges broke in shipping ruining many pieces. It also scratches easily... pretty disappointed as I wanted and paid for top quality...

Looks Great but SRCATHCES Easy
I installed this flooring 6 months ago in an addition I put on our home. The flooring looks great and installation was easy. The problem is we have a 2 and 5 year old plus 2 dogs. There are scratches everywhere in the floor. If you have kids or dogs I would look at something different.

Did my research and made my final decision on the alpine backwoods oak. I absolutely love how it came out. I receive lots of compliments.

Best Vinyl Flooring Hands Down
My wife and I bought a home that needed new flooring and carpet. We have two Pug dogs and wanted something durable for them and water-resistant. In our old house, we had high-end limited wood flooring in the kitchen and connect great room that we loved. However, the ice maker/water dispenser connection for our refrigerator developed a leak while we were on a trip and by the time we got back home the entire wood floor was ruined had to be replaced. Had the Lifeproof product been available back then we would have used it then. We learned our lesson.
We used LifeProof in about half of our new home and we love it. The installers did the job in about a day and a half and they were impressed how fast it went and it how easy to cut and how tight it connected to each plank. The fact there was no need for an underlayment was another plus. After it was installed we noticed that it even reduced the noise level due to the quality of the built-in underlay. NOTE: This is the upper end of the LifeProof flooring so we cannot tell you about the lower-priced versions but both my wife and I are very happy. People that visit us even comment on how nice our floor looks and how it feels. NEVER AGAIN, will we ever have to worry about damage to our floor due to a water leak from a refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer, or leaky sink. LifeProof is a wonderful product.

Sample pictures don't accurately show color variation between planks. Some are very light and some are very dark.
Sample pictures aren't very accurate in showing color. Lots of color variation in the planks, wasn't terribly excited to find this after unloading 33 boxes into my home. Its a kinda a bugger to get the planks snapped together completely flush. Had to beat the snot out of some to get them to go and some wouldn't go no matter what. Other than that its easy enough to score and snap to cut.

Walton Oak
We just finished installing Walton Oak in our spare bedroom and we love the way it looks. The product was easy to install using a utility knife for the majority of cuts, and a jigsaw for the more complex cuts. We can't speak to durability, but a couple of friends have Lifeproof Seasoned Wood in their houses and they love the durability and ease of maintenance.

WORST FLOORS EVER. They scratch. They have been in our home less than 2 months and have cracked. Nowhere near “lifeproof!"

Beautiful but not sturdy.
I love the color of this floor! Unfortunately now I’m trying to match it with a different more durable product. My husband is a contractor so laying the floor was fairly easy. We’ve had the flooring down maybe 2 years and we have several puncture holes, scratches and chips. I know my family is very active but I really expected more from this flooring. Unless you are a very soft footed household, find a different floor!

Good tile, but not consistent in fit and color variation might not meet your expectations.
Just finished installing 1200 sq/ft and found several issues with the product.
Poor Fit - The planks come in three widths. The two largest width planks were very consistent in length; however the narrowest planks were not consistent with the next wider plank you pair it with for installation. I found several instances where the narrowest planks were shorter than the wider plank you pair it with, leaving a small gap between one section an the next (see attached image). This gap is small but noticeable and when you're feet drag across the floor, you really feel the gap.
The biggest issue with this, is that it's hard to visually see the difference in plank length until you install the next adjacent plank. Like I said, the gap is very small, but really noticeable after installation both visually and physically.
My take is that this is a manufacturing defect where the narrower planks were cut to length when the product was at a warmer temperature. Once the temperatures equalizes, the warmer planks shrink to a smaller length and you're left with these planks at different lengths than the others.
Color Variation - The manufacture suggests opening several boxes to get better color variation. Even with this, the color variation in the two smaller width planks is not as varied as you might hope. I often had 6 and 7 boxes open trying to match up to get a better color variation between these two planks as they join together to make one large plank. The lack of color variation lead to many being put together and looking as though they were one whole plank and not two.
Take your time and open as many boxes you can to ensure the best color variation.
Grove and Tongue - Be very carful with the corners! There is a small tongue peace in the corner of the planks that can be nocked off very easily (see attached image). If it does get nocked off, there is a weak spot that can be pushed down below the level of the floor.
Other Tips -
- Floor prep!
- You can use a Utility Knife to cut the planks; however, you will go through many blades and it takes several passes to actually cut the planks. Using a metal square helps greatly to keep your lines straight, but it's easy to get off your line and accidently score the plank out side the line you want to cut.
- Use a saw (table, chop, and/or skill saw). It's messy, but so much easier than cutting with a knife when doing large areas.
- Tapping block is a must to use on all planks. If you're not in a well lit area, it easy to think you have a solid connection between the two rows; however, the planks might not have fully locked together.
- If you have round corners in your house, use a drill bit to make rounded corners (I used a 1 1/4" Forstner bit to get nice corners, seem attached image).

Beautiful Flooring
Love the multi width and multi color of this floor. Make sure to get extra boxes as you will have waist and some of the locking parts can break easily. Overall, very happy with the floor.

Alpine Backwoods Oak
We had home depot install our new floors. The installation went well, but needed to wait around 7 weeks from order to installation. I was nervous about the coloring if there was going to be too much variance in coloring, but love the end result. We went pattern with 1.
