We had 1700+ square feet of Mohawk revwood premier installed in our home with premium underlayment approx 6 months ago. We paid extra to have some low spots in the subfloor leveled. There are some spots where it makes a crackling/creak noise when you step on it. Unfortunately the few spots that drive me nuts are in the main pathway of our house that connects the bedrooms to the living/dining/ kitchen. I brought it up to the installer immediately and he came back to check it out and said call in 6 months so it has time to settle. He said they may need to GLUE DOWN some of the loud areas to reduce the noise. Unfortunately it’s no better (possibly worse) and so he’s going to come back out to see. I’m appreciative that he’s so responsive and wants to help, but I have concerns about a partial glue down based on my google research— still can’t find a clear answer on whether it would be a bad idea long term for him to glue down the loud spots. If we had to fix the subfloor further and redo it, he’d be looking at redoing almost half the floor space due to the location of the problem. Any advice, lessons learned, etc? We did not go cheap on this— I just wonder if they didn’t fix the subfloor well enough before laying the laminate.

Hello all, We are looking at redoing our first floor and are considering the two products in the title. Flooring is going down onto a slab foundation in place of glued down 3/8 engineered flooring. My biggest complaint with the current flooring besides color and poor wear is how hard the floor is and is like walking on concrete. Has anyone had any experience using the products I mentioned? We have dogs that are hard on the flooring so scratch resistant is probably most important. Thanks in advance for any feedback/advice/suggestions.

We are looking at laminate plank flooring for our home, to replace carpeted and tiled areas over about 1200 sqft. We want this to last!

We're pretty sold on Mohawk Revwood Plus/Premier, and we have found a style that we like a lot (Sterlington Malted Barley Oak or Smooth Amber Oak). We were disappointed however to find that, unlike most of the other Revwood styles, these planks are only 8mm thick, instead of the usual 10 or 12. We will add a 2mm underlayment (like Floormuffler Ultraseal). But we are wondering if we should steer clear of the thinner planks, and try to find a thicker style that works. (So far, we haven't found a color/style that we like as much in the other Plus designs, or in Premier, or Karastan)

Searching about laminate thickness, it looks like thicker will feel more like real wood, be less noisy, more forgiving of subfloor imperfections, more durable and impact resistant, etc. But how much differences does it *really* make?

Any thoughts from those who have this floor, or work in the business about these differences?

Thanks!

I’m considering this based on a recommendation I received and wanted to hear from you guys if you have this flooring and have had any issues with it? It’s supposed to be waterproof with lifelong warranty. Going for a lighter shade if that helps!

So the flooring rep says revwood laminate is on par with lvp and there's not much difference - LVP is just more popular because it's more trendy. Prices pretty much the same between the lvp and revwood, but I do like one of the revwood colors a lot. I have a dog so would like something harder to damage, waterproof, and low maintenance. Is revwood laminate really going to be as durable as lvp? Please help!
