Lions Floor Luxury Vinyl Plank?

5 years ago

Have you used Lions Floor LVP or are you familiar with it? We very much like one of the colors (Evergreen), but would like to know what others have experienced with the product.

    We ended up purchasing Coretec Grande Makkah, but have been waiting for a couple of months for it to be unloaded in Los Angeles and delivered to us.

    Alicia, did you end up with the Evergreen floors?

  • 4 years ago

    Following. I like the color Fiano which is a lot like the evergreen shown here. I can't find any reviews though so am nervous!

    Can anyone comment on their experience with Lions Floors, and perhaps specifically with the Evergreen type? Thank you

  • 4 years ago

    Would love to hear as well! A local installer said he installs it a lot and its great but haven't heard from anyone that has the flooring to know how it truly holds up.

  • 4 years ago

    The flooring doesnt hold up, I purchased for my home 2 years ago and it already looks awful

  • 4 years ago

    Oh no! Is it scratched from dogs or is it popping up? Thanks!

  • 4 years ago

    And which color did you get?

  • 3 years ago

    @ParkIt App Which color did you get and what is the problem with the floor? Fading, scratched? lifting? Have you reached out to Lions Flooring?

    I've decided to purchase Lion's Floor indoor Delight "Castle Forge" for my condo. 1st pic is inspiration pic. Rest of the pics are using visualization tool with my living room views & kitchen view. The floor specifications are good & what I was looking for (SPC, 6.5mm, 20mil wear layer). So often with these floors, their durability depends on the installation being done properly with level floor being very important. I'm hiring an installer who has installed these floors a lot and has stellar recommendations. I am hopeful but also nervous! Would welcome comments from anyone who has had this type of flooring installed!

    That will look so nice!

  • 3 years ago

    Trying to choose between these two. Probably go with the Lions on the right specifically because it doesn't bring too much attention to itself. Everything is kinda muted.

    Interesting that Parkit app joined specifically to make that one and only comment and never came back.

    It looks great!

    The color is called Lotus Clove. I didn't like it much until I brought the sample home and saw it on the floor of my home.

    Im about to have it installed in a week and a half. ill post pics and feedback when its done. the flooring vendor I used said that they are an up and coming brand that is making good flooring for the price. Im sure we all googled, but this is the only other objective thing I found online about the brand itself.

    We just installed Lion's Floor in Shangri La which is part of the Lone Star XL line. I am happy with the color. The pics below are before quarter rounds were installed. Of the two photos the pic with small hallway going into my bathroom is more accurate on color.

    I have had Lions Floor Flaxen Wheat in my living room and home office for about 3 years. It still looks brand new. Any smudges are easy to clean. Desk chair rolling on it seems fine. I have a calm dog 50 lb. dog, and no scratches. We used the living room for exercise during covid lockdown and the floor doesn't show a mark.

  • 3 years ago

    I am looking to put this Lions floor. Any comments? How is the floor holding up for people who have already installed?

  • 3 years ago

    How the floor “holds up” likely has more to do with whether it was a proper installation. Was the floor level before installation? Was a proper moisture barrier put down? Etc.

  • 3 years ago

    I am going to lay it on my existing hardwood floor. The current floor is glued to the concrete.

  • 3 years ago

    Not advisable to install LVP directly on hardwood.

  • 3 years ago

    The only complaint I've seen are by people trying to install it themselves... which again ties in with floor leveling I believe.

    David, What color was your Lion’s floor?

    anybody install forest timber?

    I'm looking at installing Lotus Clove by Lions flooring. Has anyone gone with this color? I'm looking for a lighter, neutral color.

  • 3 years ago

    Yes, Lotus Clove here. Hard to photograph, but the first pic is pretty much how it looks in person. The second pic is how it looks below my real oak steps. I like it a lot.

    Hello, has anyone installed the LS Spirit/More Mesa vinyl? I like it on the virtual visualizer and the website image because it looked warm and with very little variation. I took a sample to my home and the variation looks very drastic. I looked for other options and found Bambino/Timber Glaze. I like it, but it's darker than what I would like. Other colors are either, too gray, too, green or too pink. I like the lighter colors of the More Mesa but I am scared of the drastic variation. If anyone has installed it, please post pictures. Here is an image of the More Mesa and the Timber Glaze in my living room. Any information is appreciated.

    Mesa looks too choppy for sure, plus you'll have to guide the installers to keep them from doing all light or all dark areas. I did have to lay the pieces out in another room for them anyway so that the matching knots were not too close to each other.

    I think that Timber glaze is the nicer of the two. Make sure you put them in some sun coming through a window. The flooring that has strong light on I perceived as the true color. In other words if you ask if someone likes the color of the floor, they will likely turn on a light in order to answer that question. I just looked down at my Lotus clove floors and they look as dark as your bambino sample right now and I know that's not the case.

    Thanks for the feedback, Paul. The Bambino look slighlty different in every room of my house, but not bad. Just darker in some rooms but lighter in others. Once I install a floor, I will work on lighting:).

  • 3 years ago

    Thanks @PaulF Do you find it to read a little "pinkish" in different lights. Photo's are so hard. I have dark floors now and want to go light but worried that it will read whitewashed or pinkish in different light. By chance, do you have a photo of it in an open room?

  • 3 years ago

    I had vibrant red oak stairs to contend with and Lotus clove had NO pink in it so I had to bleach the stairs for it to work. Now I notice the little bit of pink left in the stairs looks good with the floor. Like there was some pink afterall. I think maybe the bit of orange in the floor, which is the complementary color of pink is doing a visual trick in certain light. So, yes when the pinkish sunset light hits the floors it reflects it just like a white wall would. Not sure how these pics will come across on your screen but in person there is no pink in the floor but it does look extra good next to pink.

    White wash paint usually settles in the grain and this grain is dark but I know what you mean. This looks like raw white oak to me.



    Its good at reflecting pink.

    Good example here. Left side of the pic there is no pink but on the right side the recessed light seems really pink (on my monitor) for some reason and so does the floor. It's a lighting thing for sure!


  • 3 years ago

    @PaulF Thanks so much! It looks amazing! I was undecided between evergreen and lotus clove. I wanted lotus clove but after putting them side by side in my house, with my crazy lighting, we're going with the evergreen. It's just a shade more neutral which will work out best for us. I really appreciate you responding and going the extra mile with photo's and your review.

    Hi there!








    I wanted to share the Lion Floors I‘ve purchased. I‘m very happy with the look and color for my house. These is the Timber Glaze Bambino Collection.

  • 2 years ago

    @Mar Hello! This is the exact flooring I have picked out, Lions Flooring Bambino Timber Glaze. I love your pictures. However, my husband has been doing so much research that says the minimum thickness desired should be 7mm, I know this exact flooring is 5mm. How do you like it so far?

  • 2 years ago
    last modified: 2 years ago

    Good catch! I never noticed that the thicknesses varied on this brand. Mine is 6.5m, more of a light commercial thickness. Show your husband Flooret.com if he wants the ultimate.

    As a side note. Because of the embossed surface, it feels great on bare feet but it wears out socks amazingly quickly... one of the things I've noticed in the 4 months of living with LVP for the first time ever.

    Has anyone installed the peacock flush from the indoor delight collection?

  • 2 years ago

    @HU-796072056

    Hello! I chose the bambino because of the color I was looking for, the budget, the low foot traffic in my house. I have no kids or pets in the house. I was aware of it being 5.5mm. For more peotection, I recommend 7.7mm+. I’ve had my first incident where I dropped a knive on the kitchen, by accident, and it hit the floor with the sharp point and it made a small cut. I realized it’s very thin. I’ve placed area rugs where I spend more time doing things and could drop object by accident :). I’m clumpsy! Also, all my furniture have protection to avoid damage when moving them. Like anything, it‘s just taking care of it. I do have to say, if I do it again, i would demolish the old floors in the whole house and then be able to place the planks on the floor before installing since some of the knots are too close together. the installees where going room by room and i was able to be here. it would have been more days of installation and at that point I let it go. The installers tried, but it was hard since the plank design repeat every 10 planks and have an open floor plan. if you get a chance, tell your installers (if not you) to place them on the floor ahead of installation that way you can avoid that. keep that in mind in case you need extra days. My installers were not designers. Now I know:).

    Thank you for the insight! Appreciate it😊

  • 2 years ago

    These comments are so helpful! Thank you to all! I originally liked lotus Clove but thought it was pink/ peachy but these pictures definitely don’t look that way! I may have to go back to it! Room visualizer definitely does not do Justice! I have Shangri La piece right now. My concern with this is the white “ grout lines” how evident they may be. I don’t want lines. It also is very matte if that makes sense…Anyone try it yet? Pictures?
    Also, the picture above with the oak cabinet really helped me!

    Lions LVP flooring is awful! The 50 year warranty is meaningless. My floors looked beautiful when installed, but 2 years later the floor began literally coming apart at the seams. Lions will not address the issues with me, the consumer, but also will not work with my contractor. Clearly Lions does not offer a quality product, nor do they stand behind their product. After reading all of the awful reviews online I suspect a class action lawsuit is needed! Do NOT buy Lions LVP flooring!
