Problem is - when I called Oceanside to ask some questions they said it's not their product. The logo isn't the same as the Oceanside floorinig I can find online.
Seems fishy....
Anybody have any experience with LVT thats 12mm thick, Oceanside brand?
In Multifamily stuff my guys have laid around 500k sq feet of LVP in the last 5 years.....the wear layer is an important number...the thicker that is..the better it will do with scratch resistance etc. The thicker the main product the more "perfect" the subfloor must be otherwise you wind up with air pockets/broken seams, click sounds etc. The thinner the floor the more imperfections in the sub floor you will see over time reflected in the flooring. 12mm it THICK...is that including the built in pad? Wear layers for us were min spec at 20 mil, most of what we used was around 5mm.
Next is the brand thing....anyone can slap a label on stuff. In 2017 I figured out it was FAR cheaper to go direct to the manufacturer in China and buy by the container since we did large project. They will label/brand it however you want. So in reality the brand name doesn't mean shit, nor does the warranty. How its constructed makes a big difference, and the wear layer.
What are they charging you per sq ft for the product? not labor.
Are you measuring the 12mm from the board? or is that the spec they gave you...it looks like only the top half of that sample (starting at the black is the actual product.
