Traffic Master warranty is worthless and Home Depot does not back up this poor product. I owned this flooring for 6 years. It looked awful after just 3 years. Contacted Traffic Master at year 3 and did everything they recommended to fix and it didn’t work. At year 6 I couldn’t stand it anymore and filed a warranty claim with Traffic Master. They made me jump thru quite a few hoops to prove the flooring was defective and eventually denied my supposedly ‘Life Time Warranty’. Flooring was supposed to hold up to just about anything. My issue was just simple scuff marks that wouldn’t go away using Traffic Masters guidance and recommended remedies. I went through the trouble to send them samples of the damaged flooring and they even admitted the flooring was permanently damaged from scuff marks, but since their recommended methods to remove scuff marks didn’t work I must have abused it or did something wrong. Really??? My household consists of 2 senior adults and 2 yorkie dogs! Bottom line, DON’T buy this flooring.

Ashlar Installation Tip and OverageWe installed this in our Kitchen last month and really love it... so much easier, cheaper, and less mess then putting down tile. We used only a sharpie marker and two utility knives for installation.
Installation Tip #1 - keep the wax paper supplied between each tile... these can be used to create templates for odd cuts or to measure your lengths.
Tip #2 - keep two utility knives handy - one for scoring and one for cutting excess when the tile doesn't snap evenly.
Tip #3 - weigh down your first few tiles so they don't 'float' and cause headache in your measurements.
Tip #4 - when installing Ashlar or any Tile looking Allure - adjust your overage to around 25-30%, we set the room at an angle and due to the overlapping edges and grout lines needing to line up, you need considerably more product then expected. Overall we used 8 boxes (200 sq ft) for around 150 sq ft area. Each box covers around 24 sq feet.
In closing, great product, less noise then laminate, less work then tile, and looks fantastic.

Great product!!Put this floor down in my small bath about two weeks ago. I was very impressed with the quality of the tile. It's like double the thickness of reqular square adhesive tile. As with some reviews I've read, I had no trouble cutting it. I used a razor knife. Changed the blade often. I scored the top of the tile a few times, and broke it in half like sheetrock. Corner cuts were a little harder, but not much. Also, here's a tip on getting the tiles stuck before you have them lined up as you want them. Don't throw away those wax sheets that come between them in the box. I laid a piece of that between the two glue strips on the tiles. Once I got the tiles butted together and lined up properly, I then slid the wax paper out and pressed the glue sections down. This floor looks really nice, and I've dropped silicone and wood stain on this floor, and I wiped it up quickly with mineral spirits, as the instructions state, and everything came up and no mark on the floor.
I'll be using this again, you can bet on it!!

I chose Allure because it offered a way to cover semi-rough uneven plywood underlay. Installation was straightforward but you have to take your time fitting pieces together. If you don't there'll be gaps at the joints. Instructions say you have time to pull pieces apart and reset, but you best do it quick because when it sticks its hard to get it apart. To get them apart I've had some success using a heat gun to soften the adhesive.
In less than two years we noticed the decorative/wear layer was wearing through in front of the commode and vanity.
Going on five years now and there's various size white spots in several places. That's the layer beneath the wear layer showing thru and for what it's worth, below that it's black. Time for some new flooring and you can bet it won't be Allure.

Piece of cake...Installed this in 6 hours, 110sq. ft.
The floor looks fantasic after all said and done. There are some seams that are not tight, however, that is not a product issue, I didn't take the time to align it tightly.
I never had done this type of work before, just take your time and measure it out as you move along. The most difficult part for me was cutting around the water heater and gas/water lines. I backfilled the cutouts with scrap pieces. I used the brick pattern since the instructions suggested it was faster. If you install to align the grout lines you will need to feed from multiple boxes since the grout lines are different.
Try to get it right the 1st time, you can unstick the planks once and even then it leaves residue on each strip so try to get it right. I had to do this once or twice no big deal.
I found it helpful to work atop a clothes dryer instead of from the floor to cut pieces and all.
Make sure you lay the product on a flat surface if you're going to store it awhile before laying.
Cool stuff though, i'll be putting it in my 1st floor bathroom.

Very pleased!Love these floors! We've had the floors in for about a month now. We have 3 dogs and put this flooring from the back door through the kitchen, and they mask dirt and are very easy to clean! Even when they're dirty from the dogs tracking in dirt from the back yard, you cannot see it! Not to mention they look great and were pretty easy to install!
The worst part of install was cutting them to fit around door frames that already had trim up...it can be done, but if we had it to do over, I think we would have taken the door framing off first and put them back on after floor installation. Make sure your baseboards are removed first, or that you have them maybe an eighth of an inch off the base of the floor, so these can slide under it.
We have an old house (build in 1940) and there were layers of old flooring in the kitchen, so instead of ripping all that mess up, we sanded down any areas that weren't smooth and laid these down. They're so thick, you can't feel any imperfections that were in the floor before.
Overall, best purchase I have made for our home in a while!

After 4 years...color wearing off.Not as easy as portrayed.
After viewing this flooring in the store and seeing the video and reading the literature we purchased 20 boxes of this flooring during the Spring of 2011. It was installed in the kitchen, front entry (including the coat closet) and two bathrooms (one with a linen closet).
It was not easy to cut with a razor knife - went through many, many new blades. Particularly difficult if the wall is rounded - of which we have many. Utility scissors worked a bit easier but it was tough.
Very difficult to make minor adjustments - once it is stuck - it is stuck.
After the second year we started to notice the colors starting to come off near the back door and under the kitchen bar stool area. The door sweep and the "button" on the bottom of the stool are both plastic. So now there are white spots where the pattern has come off.
Heading back to Home Depot with the receipt and the box - hopefully they will honor the 25 year warranty.
Will need to replace several panels.

Far exceeded my expectations!I'm a 63 year old woman that needed to save some $ by tackling a bathroom floor replacement myself. I followed the instructions provided. I am so impressed by how this tile job looks so perfect, even when installed by an amateur. I can't say that it wasn't a lot of work (ohhh, my knees!) but the end result looks like it was professionally installed. The seams went together tight, and cutting the tile was a piece of cake! I set up my metal ironing board, without the cover of course, took good floor measurements, then scored the tile on the ironing board with the help of a metal straight edge and two c-clamps. Whatever works, right? Nothing moved, and I kept scoring the surface until I got to the underlayment, which snapped clean and easy. Doing the time-consuming cuts while standing up was a much needed break for my knees and back. It's been 6 months and the floor is just beautiful!!! This project turned out perfect!
