The allure ultra that I just installed required a very flat surface. Any unevenness causes them to unlock. I have a relative who just installed the Ultra version, and I am thinking of doing the same, so here is what I have found in my research so far:. You can re-position it for 15 minutes, but then the bond becomes permanent. There was a product manual on the page too if you want more info. These planks are thinner than the Ultra. The Allure Ultra didn't have a video on that product page, but it does show that it has a different locking mechanism, the easy-drop-and-lock which is a click-lock installation technology.
There is a link to the pdf version of the product manual see source link below , but here is the info. Carpet staples or adhesive residue must be removed to ensure proper installation. Subfloors should not slope more than 1" 2. Fill large cracks, voids, or grout lines with a cementitious leveling and patching compound. If necessary, grind down high spots. Do not sand, saw, pulverize, chip, bead blast, or dry scrape existing vinyl floor, backing, lining felt, asphalt, "cut back" adhesives or other adhesives as they may contain asbestos fibers and or crystalline silica.
So, it sounds like you would need to do some sub floor work with either one of these. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.
I know your post was a while ago, but I just starting reading on BiggerPockets a few weeks ago love it! Good question! I opted to skip the cheap stuff and go with a rigid LVP with a thicker wear layer and lifetime warranty.

Allure vs Allure Ultra vs??? Thread starter Jeepmann Start date Mar 17, The friendliest place on the web for anyone with an RV or an interest in RVing! If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts. See posts with no answers. If you are a small shop or need commercial warranties on your vinyl flooring, look to the Allure Plus with a 6-year commercial warranty. For residential installs, though, the Allure Ultra offers a lifetime warranty. However this, like most vinyl planks is a bit misleading.
Instead it protects the purchase from defects in craftsmanship and manufacturing for up to 2 years from purchase, which ends the moment you install the flooring. After the floor is installed, it is protected from fading, wear layer separation from the core layers or the core layers form the base layers. Beyond this, nothing else is covered, including scratches, dents or peeling damage from use.
LifeProof and Allure are both exclusive flooring options sold through Home Depot. You can head to your local Home Depot and get samples or view their entire lineups in person. You can also shop online for a slightly larger selection.
Both options are durable and considered mid-range vinyls. The difference will be in the construction and style options. LifeProof has much more to offer in terms of sizes of the planks and colors, grains and stone options. Allure has the better warranty and their entire lines are generally found in all Home Depot stores.
For LifeProof you will be more limited in what you can get at your local store. Allure Ultra has about 25 style options, where Mannington offers over Durability is also not very close. In a surprising twist, Mannington is also quite affordable. Like Mannington, NuCore has a wide and varied selection with styles, sizes and colors pushing their line up over choices. The waterproofing, construction and warranties are the same between the two brands, but NuCore has a higher tolerance for large area installs.
You can effectively install up to square feet without the need for transition molding. Aside from the selection and where you shop , that is your difference here. NuCore has a slight edge, but Allure Ultra is available in more regions.

Most Allure planks will come in boxes that cover 20 square feet. You should get enough boxes to cover your floor and at least 2 extra boxes. The extra boxes will cover if you damage any planks during install and give you leftovers to perform replacements and repairs with down the road. Vinyl can install in more areas, including wet areas that laminate cannot go, but laminate can last longer than some vinyl.
You can read our full comparison between luxury vinyl and laminate here. Vinyl planks and tiles are designed to lock together and form a solid flooring without the need for permanent attachment, which is called a floating floor.
