We used the Allure, because at the time, it looked best for our purposes. I have heard from several sources about the expansion and contractions causing slight cracks. That is what we liked about the Allure, the offset adhesive strips that form a sealed surface even if it opens a bit in cold weather. We looked at other solutions, but they were much more expensive, or too difficult to install. We have helped lay several Pergo type floors and like that also. We have installed sheet vinyl at home previously, and it had to be glued to keep it from tearing.
