I love this color.. we are acutally going through all of this trying to figure out which is best with kids/dogs/kitchen etc.. laminate, LVP, etc...I have been looking at the mannington collection resortation styles. Im afraid it will look/feel cheap and sound echoy. thats why i personally haven't pulled the trigger to tearing up our tile in the kitchen. but our carpet is way over due to be pulled up.... ahh... so many decisons when making this choice. did you decide on this floor? post a pic. id love to see it. I love it has the perfect shades of natural and darker tones that way its not to light or to dark, and can use browns or grays with it for your furniture or decor.

Brittany, I was also looking at the Mannington Restoration laminate, but have decided against it. We are looking for a lighter color flooring and have found what we want in AtroGuard laminate. It seems to have a better locking system than the Mannington, and it has the same 72 hour surface water protection promise that the Mannington has. We are going to order a full box of Sunkissed Acre to put together and look at for a few weeks. I will also do some surface water, stain and dent test on it as I did on the Mannington Restoration. The Mannington did pass those with flying colors I might add. I just like the locking system and availability of lighter colors in the AtroGuard product. There are some reviews of the AtroGuard on their FB page and also on Houzz. I did contact several people that had reviews on the AtroGuard FB page, and they all gave it great reviews.

The AtroGuard has several patterns that have the brown and gray undertones. You might find one that you like.

Thank you for considering Mannington! We have a wide range of colors and styles in laminate flooring, and the Restoration Collection does carry the 72 hour warranty. Also, we are a 104-year old company based in the USA and all our laminate flooring is made right here in High Point, North Carolina. Please reach out if you have specific questions, we are happy to help guide you to the perfect floor!

Kitty, thank you for the comment. Everytime I mention laminate to people they look at me like I am crazy b/c I tell them i have two kids and a dog, they keep trying to get me to go the LVP route, which is fine, but I have friends in the same situation as me with laminate and they have no problems. I like colors in laminate better than LVP.. so were still searching for the right choice. I will look into AtroGuard.

We installed Mannington Restorations in half our main floor in October 2017 and the rest in April 2018. I had only good things to say about it until we got a puppy in June 2019. It never looked dirty & really didn't get dirty, even with 3 small kids, didn't scratch or dent. Sometimes the kids would spill and we wouldn't see it until it dried because of the color of the floor and it didnt matter. Then we got a puppy. If the dog pees it cant sit for even a minute or it will warp the floor. We have 4 spots in our house now with bubbled/warped edges and mannington says it's because pet urine molecules are smaller than water. I'm not sure what "pet friendly" means or what mannington considers a "pet mess", but I would definitely not buy these if you have animals.

Pet urine particles are smaller than water? That’s total crap. So now I know not to get Mannington for my cat loving home.

DO NOT USE THIS GARBAGE. THE WARRANTY IS A FRAUD. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT WATER RESISTANT NOR WATER PROOF FOR 72 MINUETS LET ALONE 72 HOURS! IF YOU HAVE ANY LIVING BEINGS IN THE HOME THIS PRODUCT IS NOT SUITABLE. THE COMPANY DOES NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER!

I agree, purchased mine 7 yrs ago. Floor was and has a beautiful look. Microbevels enhance the look of wood but it enhances exposure to moisture, rippling and chipping if something hits it just right. And you CAN SEE IT. You have to live in the desert, have no animalas, drink no water, not even use a spray bottle and a microfiber cloth to clean. if i had to do it all over again….LVP or sheet vinyl…lol!!

i might would consider the floor again if it were WATERPROOF, but spill shield…nah! You cannot find videos, samples etc. of it. i found one video where the installed applied with a little bottle on cut edges (that was against walls or under door frames…really?

If they made their images on a poly rigid core… they would probably sell out.

I will never buy laminate again ever, no one i know of has ever had floors that look the same 5 years in…all with similar experiences.

DO NOT BELIEVE MANNINGTON'S POST! THEIR RESTORATION PRODUCT IS GARBAGE! IT IS NOT WATER RESISTANT FOR 72 SECONDS LET ALONE 72 HOURS. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT I MADE!

I'm writing this for those considering Mannington Restoration laminate SpillShield Plus, or Casabella Aqua Proof laminate, because my wife and I have been looking at laminate flooring for quite sometime. There are so many flooring products out there on the market, it's really gets overwhelming to chose the right one. We brought home two laminate samples, one was Casabella Aqua Proof laminate and the other was Mannington Restoration laminate SpillShield Plus that we liked. I wanted to test the water resistant of these two products, so I put a tablespoon of water on each, and left it sit on the cross section where the planks intersect. I left the water on the Mannington for 8 hours and then wiped the water off. Sorry to say, but the top edge of the laminate raised and around the spot it bubbled up the surface. So Mannington SpillShield Plus claim about 72 hour waterproof technology did not work for this sample we brought home. Now, remember if you spill something, you are going to wipe it up, but what if something spills that doesn't get wiped up right away. Furthermore, what happened with the Casabella Aqua Proof laminate, I put a tablespoon of water on two different sections of the planks, and after a couple of hours the one spot where the water was, was still there, and the other spot of water was gone. I wiped the water off and stood the sample on edge and the water started dripped out from around the plastic edge that the sample is encased in to protect the edges of the laminate planks. So, maybe the one spot where the water sat did fine, but the other spot didn't hold the water on the surface, and seeped into the core of laminate. On the surface of Aqua Proof planks, we didn't see any change of the surface at all, but where would the water have ending up, under your flooring. Now, was it just our bad luck that we had defective samples, or is this just an advertising way to say that these laminates are water resistant or waterproof for 72 hours. I hope this might be of some help on your selection of laminate flooring.
