Vinyl flooring - plank or sheet??
Hey folks As soon as the weather cooperates and we can seal the roof, a new floor goes in! We're wanting to go the vinyl route, but with all the research I've done, I can't find enough info on ...

When you say LVT is glued to a plywood substrate, was that how it came, as in pieces that snap? Or were you the one doing the gluing? I think I'm confused because many things I read are interchanging the terms LVT and LVP, but there's a significant difference in function/installation, as well as price.
According to Lowes and a few other articles I've read, it's a self stick piece, just like the more cheapo vinyl squares - peel the back and stick on floor, and done. Then I have also read about LVP, luxury vinyl PLANK, which is manufactured just like locking hardwood, with grooves that snap, and results in a floating floor. Many suggestions here and elsewhere say the plank is the way to go, but then also refer to it as LVT, which is apparently totally different.
I'm just trying to figure out what to buy, and how much to budget - the tile is obviously cheaper, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out if folks here are talking about the peel and stick vinyl, or the floating snap together vinyl.
Any clarification would be super helpful!
