Okay I think we've narrowed it down to 1) Armstrong Alterna, 2) CoreTec Plus 3) Mannington Adura.

All of those are decent, brand name options. Pick the one you like the best. You should be just fine.

Alrighty thanks, we have it down to the Mannington and Armstrong. The Mannington can be glued, locked, or grouted? With that being said, any recommendations on which of those look the best, holds up the best, most cost effective to install, etc?

Alrighty, got our first quote for the Armstrong installed and grouted for $2300 for 170 sq feet. Yikes. How hard is this to stuff to install? Which installation type is the easiest?

Does that include demo of the old floor, floor prep, and quarter round? If so, it's too low. For just installation over a freshly prepped floor, about right.

sorry I've been ill. That doesn't include demo or quarter round but does include floor prep.
