Home Depot Allure vinyl floor

We installed Allure in 96 2 bedroom townhouses @ 2009/10 which were rental units, at the request of the property owner. This was during a complete interior remodel of the entire property, and despite our recommendation not to use it.

All of it failed within a year after installation as the end joints of the individual pieces opened up from shrinkage. The property owner went to war with Home Depot who at first resisted, and eventually agreed to replace the material but not the labor. Good for us as we were paid to remove and replace........1100 sq ft X 96.

The second round failed also. Consistent climate control both times within mfgr specs. You get what you don't pay for and that stuff is cheap garbage as is most of the in house brand flooring at the big boxes. It may work well for a doghouse or an outhouse, or something.

Home Depot gave me all my money back for the product too but I ate the labor for the Alure installation. Then I had to pay labor again to get the Pergo we replaced it with installed. The only good thing about the Alure is it comes up easy ;).

The Pergo is doing great in the RV and the house. One advantage I've discovered is that it's removable. I had a dishwasher leak and had to remove some of the flooring to dry the suffloor out. Afer all was dry, I reinstalled the Pergo. Snapped right back together.
