So more a "factory built home" than a double-wide trailer. - If you
want it all the same, your best bet is high quality sheet vinyl, just
like it came with but possibly better quality. Your second best is
Luxury Vinyl Plank - clic-type, which costs more but you can install
yourself.


I think the term today is manufactured home.

I have no issues with sheet vinyl but my other half does.

We were looking at more LVP yesterday. The stick-to-edges type has a
25 year warranty and is highly water resistant. Starts at $2.09 a sq
ft. Free floating and no underlayment over OSB required.

Their cLVP (click-type) starts at $2.99 per sq ft. Waterproof and
lifetime residential. No underlayment required over OSB.

We don't need waterproof, just good water resistance for kitchen,
baths and laundry room. No outside flooding concerns. Thickness
difference between the two is marginal so no issues there. We actually
like the color options the offer on the sLVP more than cLVP.

Anyone ever use the sLVP? This is NOT the kind that sticks to the
floor. Only the edges stick to one another.

Used it in my step-mother's house. I'd go for the clic for the small
difference in price and the ease of installation (and the ease of
future repair - you can pop out a damaged clic-tile and replace it
relatively easily - not so easy with edge glued tile)
