TM Hickory vinyl plank flooring has a very light color to it.\n\nThe plank flooring is engineered wood with vinyl layer. This flooring is water-resistant, so you may not want to put it in a heavily wet environment like a bathroom.\nI installed my flooring in a kitchen/dining room combo.\n\nFirst, I had to make sure my existing ceramic tile floor was sound. Yes.\nNormally, you place a vapor barrier down but, in this case, my tile floor was already waterproofed.\n\nThe plank flooring does not have underlayment backing, so you need to add a thin foam underlayment pad for moisture protection and sound. Read the instructions carefully and you will be fine.\n\nI also purchased a floor install kit which made the job easier. Stagger the planks, and do a layout before install. The planks are click-to-lock, so easy to install.

The flooring is NOT easy to install, and you need to use tools on every single plank to get it to lay properly. If it is not 'just so' the pieces will bubble up, and it does not click into place easily like other flooring. I had to use a dead blow hammer and a flooring installation kit with the tapping block on EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. to get it to be properly installed. Pieces cut fairly easily, but I also had to buy a table saw to finish the floors (which was another $350 I wasn't planning on). Overall, I liked the look, but this product is cheaper than others for a reason. You get what you pay for, and this flooring needs several add-on products to have it properly installed. I do NOT recommend this flooring for first-time folks trying to install their own flooring. It is not user friendly and you will need help.

This flooring is beautiful and was a breeze to install. The light golden color is gorgeous and really brightens up the room and makes it look larger, too. I mixed it with another lighter shade laminate flooring and it looks great! It’s durable, easy to clean and installed really quickly. You simply snap the tongue into the groove and then tap gently down the slat to seat together well. You want to make sure you clean all dirt and debris from subfloor before installing to prevent any damage or noise. This flooring has a good quality foam padded backing to protect the floor from noise from debris particles and for comfort. Absolutely recommend.

Super affordable and gorgeous, really happy with this purchase! Giving this ole house a brand new look. Installed easily over the existing hardwood floors that were worn and creaky. Purchased cork underlayment and it reduced noise significantly. Just installed a few days ago. Easy to clean had some minor paint splatters from finishing touches to the base molding and they came right out. Pretty and low maintenance is just what I was looking for. Thanks Home Depot!

We really like this flooring! First of all it's blond in color which gives it a nice clean wood look. Installation is a snap - literally each piece snaps together! When you install make sure the surface is smooth and flat. Then install laminate flooring underlayment padding. After that determine what direction you want the flooring to flow. I recommend buying a laminate installation kit. Nice thing about this laminate flooring is that it's very durable.

We got this to replace the flooring in our kids play house. My grandpa built this play house about 40 years ago so the flooring was needing to be replaced. This laminate looks great in the playhouse especially since the flooring was rather shot. It was rather easy to install and it is cool that it has the pad attached. I would definitely recommend this flooring to others that are updating their flooring.

Looks very nice and Easy installation I also purchased a pull bar kit with gap squares and a rubber hammer makes Installation so much easier. I read all instructions which helped so much and used a skill saw to cut wood.i placed this floor without removing my trim then I placed quarter round around to cover expansion gap.It’s floor looks amazing!!

I had this flooring installed in my basement after carpet removal, I absolutely love it! My entire home smells better for one, which I never noticed was an issue to began with. My basement now appears more spacious and of course it's much easier to keep clean no vacuuming!

Getting started was a bit rough and highly recommend a kit to get things going in the right foot. I love this natural tone and look forward to working in my new studio with these amazing floors.

We have installed 3 different vinyl hardwood floorings and this by far has been our favorite in both looks and ease of installation

Floor isn’t as easy to put in as they say but still pretty easy to install. Floor looks great and for the value you can’t beat it !

Flooring color was what I was looking for and it was easy to install. Not quite done with the install.

Just beautiful. Really brightened up a north facing condo. Love it

Love my new floors, did myself, so easy to install it was perfect.

exactly what i needed. Perfect for the price and was easy to install

I love the appearance of the floor. Flooring does not come with underlayment, have to buy separately.

This Traffic Master Milo Valley Hickory looks like natural Hickory wood, and is one of the easiest laminates I have installed to date. The planks are wide and very rigid, having a plastic-like feel to them. The color is very light, which brightens the room and gives it a clean, modern look and feel. There is no foam underlayment pre-installed on the underside of each plank, so you will need to purchase and install it separately, before putting down this flooring. There are 8 planks per case, and a case covers just over 21 sq. ft. The planks are 8mm thick. The product description says the wear layer is AC3, which is suitable for heavy residential traffic. The edges are slightly beveled as opposed to square. The planks fit very tightly together with very little effort. For a while, deeply beveled flooring was the thing, but it just provides a place for dirt and dust to collect, so my preference is for the planks to have little or no bevel, as this flooring does. The color of this particular flooring is on the lighter side of the spectrum, with some variation between the planks, giving it a very realistic look. The planks feature knots in the surface pattern and have some texture that you can feel when you walk or run your hand over it, but the texture provides less grip and a bit more slip than other floors I have installed. The finish on this floor is matte, not shiny. While the planks are mildly textured to provide a bit of grip, they are still easy to wipe clean with a broom, Swiffer or damp mop. The graining is nicely done and very realistic looking, giving this flooring quite a bit of character. I found very few duplicates in my boxes of flooring, which adds another layer of realism to this flooring. When installed, this laminate flooring looks just like natural hardwood Hickory plank flooring. It even sounds like walking on hardwood. This flooring also addresses a lot of the short-comings of earlier laminate flooring, with thin, narrow and brittle click-lock system, that would fail and separate over time, but this flooring is well-made with wider and durable click-locks along the length of the planks for a longer lasting floor that will resist separation among the planks better than earlier models. This flooring is water resistant so it can be installed in most rooms of the home, even a damp basement. Installation is typical of other flooring and goes down very easy, with minimal effort, but a rubber mallet, spacers/shims, a pull bar, and a tapping block are useful during installation, especially when pulling the planks together. If you don’t have a tapping block, you can use a scrap piece of flooring, but I recommend the tapping block. They are only a couple of dollars and you can get them at The Home Depot, along with an installation kit and everything else needed to install this flooring. The installed planks looks great and I am very satisfied with this flooring.

Very beautiful floor

DO NOT, NOT PURCHASE THIS FLOORING IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON INSTALLING MATCHING BASEBOARD/MOLDING WITH IT AS "HD" DOES NOT, NOT CARRY IT, NO ONE DOES. BUYER BEWARE: THEY DO NOT WARN YOU (ON THEIR WEBSITE WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY TO PURCHASE IT BTW) UPFRONT THAT THERE IS NO MATCHING BASEBOARD, NOR IS THERE ANY OTHER PRODUCT MATCHING BASEBOARD TO CLOSELY MATCH FOR THIS PRODUCT! (Per Maia/Maya at HD)

Looking for a new floor but want one that's easy to put down but solid, something that will last? This is one of those interlocking plank floors. What some call click lock. Goes together easy, does take a little patience and learning. Heavy too, a box is about 30 pounds. Still, delivered or picked up. Flooring to go. Doing a room takes time, but it can last a long time too.
