Mannington Laminate Floors

8 years ago

Have any of you put Mannington Restoration Laminate with Spillshield in your home? If so, please tell me how you like it-pros and cons. We are seriously considering it for our home except in the kitchen and bathrooms, but I really would like to hear from those who have it already installed.

Why not the kitchen and bathroom ? I have not used that floor from Mannington but I love the Adura and use it in bathrooms and kitchens all the time.

Patricia,

After an under slab water leak two years ago in our kitchen that required a 3x7 ft. hole in the floor, we had Mohawk LVT put down after the repair. We really like it and don't wish to replace it. When we remodeled both bathrooms four years ago, we put down ceramic tile on the floors which we also like.

Our carpet is ten years old, and since we both have dust allergies, we decided to use hard surface flooring in our family room, dining room and bedrooms rather than replace with carpet again. I really like the Mannington Restoration laminate, and have been doing my own durability test on it. There was no damage when I left standing water on a seam between two planks for eight hours. I tried scratching it with a small stone in a tennis shoe sole, and also with a key and had no damage with either. I also dropped a hammer from waist height on one of the planks and had no damage. The Mannington Restoration laminate is supposed to be surface water resistant for up ro 72 hours so I will be doing my own test on that also.

I have looked at some large samples of the Adura Max vinyl plank, but prefer the look of the Restoration laminate. It has a nice matte finish which I especially like.

Did you wind up putting in in? Do you have photos? I'm trying to decide between a few brands and this was one of them.

No, after more reading on laminate and the extra care required with it regarding maintaining indoor humidity between 35% and 55% and always the chance that another leak could ruin it, we have decided to install an SPC plank flooring, SuperCORE, from WeShipFloors.com. It’s a stone polymer composite, waterproof, dimensionally stable and has a more realistic “wood look” than any of the laminates I had looked at. It is 7 inches wide and 60 inches long and is a floating click lock flooring.

There is a huge thread here on Houzz that has lots of info, photos and reviews on SuperCORE (Adura Max vs CoreTec) if you think you might be interested. I just received an order of 1500 sq. ft. of the Krypton from the Originals line and will be installing it in a few weeks.

Good luck on your flooring search. It has taken 15 months for me to find what I wanted.
