    Hello all
    Would love to get your expert advice... Have decided to get lvt installed pretty much throughout the downstairs. Admittedly karndean was my initial go to product being as I'd heard the most about it... However after doing bits of research and looking round I really like the distinctive flooring in particular tan and water oak from the signature collection... Can't find any reviews on this so was wondering if anybody could feed back... Durability wise is it as good as karndean? Or better even?

    Secondly I've noticed buying online is cheaper than going to a store... If I do this and find a floor fitter does this effect the guarantee or if there are any problems with product? Or is it safer to pay the extra and purchase from a store and use their fitter?
    Any advice appreciated thank you!

    The reason it's cheaper online is they don't have to pay thousands of pounds for displays and other overheads for you to choose your floor, also, because they sell so much because they are cheaper, manufacturers will sell it to them cheaper than the shops ,as for guarantees ,i have been told ,at least with karndean ,buying online means your floor is not registered with them so you won't get the same guarantee ,a shop will usually guarantee the whole job and deal with all the parties involved and sometimes take a loss to fulfil their customer service promise to you.

    Having sold tan oak and water oak for nearly 6 years, it’s faultless, be a much better option in the long run......however be quick as there’s some changes going on, I think that option is run under a different brand called m series by Harvey Maria, colour names will change but definitely the same product,

    Thank you both... Makes me think it might be safer to go via a shop incase there are any problems.... And yes distinctive I think will be my go to product.... What about the vintage parquet is this as popular as the plank and do you iu think it's worth the extra cash for the overall look?

    Depends on what look you are going for, the parquet is lovely but does cost a bit more, both for the product and usually install. Either way a superb option,
