Customer Reviews for TrafficMaster Walnut Ember Java 4 MIL x 6 in. W x 36 in. L Peel and Stick Water Resistant Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring (36 sqft/case)

Easy to work with. Feels great on the feet, has quality texture and enough variety between pieces to avoid an obvious pattern. Great product for an even better price!

Even if you study the instructions and do everything according to the technology you will still get the same result, lose time and money. Unless, of course, the temperature of your place never fluctuates, perhaps this product is for you. Judging by this proposal, this floor requires constant temperature, constant use and walking on it. When it gets hot it expands while crawling and pushing itself from the center to the walls, glides on glue. Glue only for that the tiles more or less lie as they should. "...Avoid long term exposure to direct sunlight. High temperatures directly on the floor may cause the adhesive to reactivate and release from the subfloor. Use window treatments or UV tinting on windows. For the last piece which will be cut, allow for a 1/8 in. expansion space at the wall. Use the remainder of the cut piece to start the next row placing the cut edge against the wall. ..." Cheap vinyl product has HUGE THERMAL EXPANSION, and with stick/glue down vinyl products there is no way to prevent warping in sunlight since it is not a floating floor that can expand toward the gap at the room's edges. Or vice versa, the tile will narrow and there will be gaps between it. In my case, the tile was installed on primed dry plywood at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. As soon as the temperature rose to 28 degrees Celsius in the shade and in the room it became hot the tile expanded and rose at the edges. All requirements for proper installation have been met.

Our basement was in need of some tlc. We decided to try this out! Extremely easy to do! Like other reviews said make sure you are getting as close together as possible and take your time! We ended up buying a rubber mallet but it isn’t necessary! We had tile before and some were cracked so I would recommend the traffic master 3 in 1 underlay if you have the same issue. Corners were tricky but just take your time! I really love how this turned out and will definitely be purchasing again for future projects you just can’t beat the price to quality ratio!

Quick and easy install over old floor. Looks fantastic

I install this in my bedroom in my laundry room it looks beautiful I’m so happy

Absolutely love this flooring. I put this in my bedroom as a quick fix to my dog ruining my carpet and I get more compliments on this flooring than any other flooring in my house (high quality snap-in flooring and carpet). Futher, it was so easy to lay. We did look thru the patterns to ensure like patterns (such as heavily grained design) were evenly spread out thru the room. Now, I plan to put thru the rest of my house replacing all my carpet. It withstands my medium size dogs and is easy to keep clean. I'm extremely happy with the quality and appearance for the amazing price!

This was my first time installing flooring and it was very easy to use and cut when needed. I am actually purchasing a different finish for my daughter’s room!

Laid this over wxisting laminate flooring and juat WOW!! Looks like a million bucks! Super happy and have uswd in a 2nd project already

This looks amazing and is super easy to install.

First let me start by saying..... WOW! This flooring is stunning. Im currently sprucing up my home to put it on the market, so im making serveral upgrades. I wanted to replace the "cheap looking" flooring with something warm & more modern, but didnt want to spend a fortune considering we wouldnt be getting to enjoy it for too long. I found this, saw the 4 stars and started reading reviews. Ultimately i decided to purchase this flooring. I laid this flooring in a 360sqft area that had several funny cuts that i was going to have to make. I started by sweeping & vacuuming the area. Then wiped down the floor with rubbing alcohol to make sure it was REALLY clean (i laid this overtop of the existing flooring). It goes down easy & is super simple to cut for those pesky areas. Just score it with a utility knife, snap it and boom, done! I laid this floor by myself in 2 days, including laying it on 12 steps from my main level to my basement. Its so easy! Just be sure to clean your surface really well! Cleaning the surface with the rubbing alcohol made it stick soooo good! So long story short, if you are interested in this flooring.... dont hesitate, its amazing!

Cuts with scissors! Used a box cutter for the straight edges and the other shapes I used scissors. Looks great, used in a small bathroom and hallway. Just installed so can't speak to its wearability but first impressions are this will hold up well. Seams sealed tightly and it looks great. At 97 cents a sqft its even better. Put it right over some old flooring after i cleaned it really well. Bathroom floor has been down about 3 weeks and all the tiles are solid. I put one piece at the edge backwards (uncut side to the wall) had to peel it back up, it was difficult to remove which is good and it too sealed back down.

Ive used both the interlocking floating vinyl floor and this peel and stick kind. This is WAY easier to use than the floating floor, and it is every bit as nice! I love my new floor

This was easy for me to install. I just could not find a transition piece to put between the two floors. Love that it looks like a hardwood floor.

Great product easy to install

We purchased quite a bit of it; had it installed! Looked good for about 6 months, very little traffic on it! It All shrunk in both width and length; All across the floor! Contacted the company and was told someone would call us back....well! It’s been 6 months and no call back! I’ll try and provide you a picture! It’s honestly a waste of money unless your doing a quick job to get rid of your property! Just hope it sells fast!

I needed a temporary floor for a small area (240 sq feet) and this was absolutely perfect! I was able to install directly to my concrete floor with zero prep (floor was super clean and flat). I used a rubber mallet to lightly hammer the tiles to the floor. I thought, I would only keep the floor for a few months, until I tile the entire house, however, Im in no rush after installing these tiles. It looks absolutely beautiful and would actually consider using as a permanent flooring in the future. Not that it matters, but Im a woman and this was not difficult by any means.

Very easy!

Wonderful makeover on the ultra-cheap. The hubs and I (not very experienced DIY'ers) got it all down in about a day. Adheres VERY well, cuts super easily with either a utility knife or heavy duty scissors (which I used a lot for those funky-dunky little cuts you have to make around door jambs, etc). I didn't rent a floor roller, and now I'm glad I didn't because this stuff sticks just FINE without it. My calculations told me I would need 3 boxes, but I bought 4 because I was sure we'd mess quite a few planks up. In fact, we never even opened the 4th box. One tip - no matter how carefully you measure and cut, you'll probably end up with a few gappy spots. Buy yourself some brown caulk to fill 'em in! Once dried, it is undetectable. Check out the 2nd pic, my toe is pointing to one of our boo-boos. One surprise with this floor is the finish. It's basically matte, almost no sheen to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to put anything over it or not, it looks just fine the way it is, but old-school me still thinks that if the floor ain't shiny, it ain't clean! The planks are very thin and I'm not sure how they will hold up to three large dogs that eat all their meals in the kitchen (plus snacks - not to mention their large water bowl that gets sloshed about all the time), but for about a hundred bucks and a days work, if it only lasts 2 years, I'd still call it money well spent. Hubby loves it, too.

I was decorated my Apt. for this Christmas time, and used Home Depot, products. I'm very satisfied with all my purchases.

We placed this in our camp living room since we wanted something that was easy to clean due to no running water there. I does scuff easier then I expected it to which is kind of disappointing. It was easy to work with easy to cut and didn’t like to peel back up when I made a few mistakes but I found that to be good since I want it to stick well. Also the dog liked how cool the floor felt.

Great looking, Great priced Vinyl flooring. I did not use this on the floor but due to the thinness I used it on the wall as a feature in my bedroom based on some designer modern bedrooms. Adhered to the wall originally with Robertson's Vinyl adhesive...mistake; it has to be put on wet and then held to stay. Since this was a vertical application, regular bathroom tile adhesive worked the best.

Nice product, nice color

I was very nervous that I would not be able to lay this floor by myself, but it was SUPER easy!! Everyone that has seen it is in awe! Its gorgeous! So very happy I did it!!

This is a great product at a great price. Very easy to work with too. I did the kitchen in one of my rental properties in just two hours. Definitely recommended

Best Floor EVER! I installed Traffic Master Distressed Grey Wood in my kitchen, side entrance and stairwell. It came out beautiful. I figured I would put Traffic Master Walnut Ember Grey in my living room, dining room and hallways. Here are the finished products! This brand is so easy to use and looks fantastic. I did it myself at a fraction of the cost it would have been to hire someone (if you can find someone who would do such a small job!) I am a teacher and I need to save every penny, therefore, I appreciate quality and affordable materials.The unfortunate part is Home Depot had such a beautiful variety of Traffic Master and now the pickins are slim to none. I had to drive to 3 stores in order to secure my quantity.

Great product and easy to install.

I love this flooring! I laid this on top of a concrete slab that was previously covered in indoor/outdoor carpet. Just make sure the surface is clean, clean, clean before you lay it. I've had it down for a month and have zero complaints.

I purchased this product to replace the flooring and rug in my camper. It appears to be very durable and is very attractive, looking like hardwood flooring. It was very easy to put down and it was very reasonably priced.

I love the new floor, easy to install. I did it myself. It looks beautiful
