Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Four-sided click-lock system installs cleanly over tile, concrete, wood, and existing vinyl without demolition or adhesive
- 100% waterproof planks with pre-attached IXPE underlayment handle wet areas and below-grade installs without additional materials
- Pallet covers 1,166.88 sq ft — large enough for open-plan floors and multi-room installs with consistent dye lot
- 5MM rigid core resists the soft spots and telegraphing that flexible LVT shows over imperfect subfloors
- 12 MIL wear layer provides scratch, stain, and dent resistance that holds up under regular residential traffic
👎 Cons
- Pallet weight of 2,012.4 lbs requires freight delivery coordination — not a standard parcel shipment
- At 0.2 inches finished thickness, transitions to thicker flooring types like hardwood or tile need careful threshold planning
- Rigid core LVT cannot be refinished — individual damaged planks must be replaced, so ordering a few extra pieces for future repairs is worth factoring into the initial purchase
- The greige colorway photographs warmer in some lighting conditions than the product name "Gaboon Gray" implies — a physical sample is the only reliable color check
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this flooring be installed in a basement or bathroom where moisture is an ongoing concern?
Yes. The planks are 100% waterproof and the IXPE underlayment does not absorb water, which makes below-grade installs and wet-area rooms workable without moisture barriers or special adhesives.
Does the subfloor need to be completely level before installation?
The rigid core construction tolerates minor subfloor variation better than thinner LVT, but the subfloor should be flat within 3/16 inch over a 10-foot span for the locking joints to seat correctly and stay tight over time. Fill low spots and grind high ones before laying the first course.
Do I need to buy separate underlayment for this product?
No — and don't add one. The IXPE underlayment is pre-bonded to each plank. Stacking an additional foam pad underneath undermines the rigid core performance and can cause the click-lock joints to flex and disengage.
What tools do I need to install this flooring?
A pull bar, tapping block, rubber mallet, utility knife or vinyl cutter, and a tape measure cover the full install. A miter saw speeds up end cuts on longer runs. No specialty flooring tools are required.
How does the Gaboon Gray colorway work in rooms with warm or cool-toned finishes?
Gaboon Gray reads as a greige — a mix of warm gray and beige undertones that photographs as a rustic, natural wood look. It tends to work with both warm wood cabinetry and cooler painted trim, but confirm against a physical sample under your room's actual lighting before committing to a full pallet.
