Vinyl Planking! This product is hot and getting hotter quickly. It has been around for a decade and used primarily for commercial installations. It comes in a variety of formats which translate to varying widths styles and colors. Its brand name was Traffic Master but dozens of manufacturers are now making it.

It is durable, will cover a lot or rough floors without telegraphing through and its total cost of ownership is very low. If you can cut a piece of paper with scissors you can use this product.
The product snaps together like laminate flooring but without the cold feel and awful sound that laminate has. It is water friendly and wears for years. Once you learn what it looks like you will see it everywhere. Safeway’s use it in their produce section, banks use it and it is frequently used as a transition threshold. With today’s new photographic technology used in producing this you will be hard pressed to distinguish it from stone, tile or wood products.
There used to be this stuff that was popular for a while that was a peel and stick tile but it was flimsy, didn’t stick and went the way of wood paneling.
