I did my entire living area with Home Depot click together vinyl planks and left it floating. I used the higher grade (about $3.19 a sf.)as I liked the thickness, and it comes with pad attached to each plank. I had done glue down years ago, and it was really awful to get up. My son was a flooring contractor and did most of the work. It went easy once the old glue and torn-up OSB was fixed. It has traveled nicely with no problem at all. I really like the look. It's the closest you can get to real wood look without the wood. And it has, according to Consumer Reports, the very best resistance to wear.
