Customer Reviews for TrafficMaster Allure Ultra 12 in. x 23.82 in. Aegean Travertine Noche Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring (19.8 sq. ft. / case)

The color from the other I had bought is slightly off

Easy to install, easy to clean. I'm a little nervous about possible scratching, and the cleaning instructions say to use a gentle cleanser, not vinegar for instance ...

Nothing like the old peal and stick. I would never use this again!

Looks beautiful in our bathroom. (It was installed 2 weeks ago.)

This flooring appears to be durable and thick than some other vinyl options. I has a natural marbled look and at first glance one would think the floor was made of natural stone. The only negative for me is that having bought the product on line, I never saw it in the flesh and I didn't recognize that the planks have a "matte" finish. I prefer a floor with a shine that reflects ambient lights and has at least a hint of mirrored finish. These floor planks do not have the least polish to their finish but I imagine there are many customers who would prefer a flatter look so this is really not a drawback.

Easy to install, looks great, very durable

Having used this product quite satisfactorily two years ago for a kitchen and two baths, I expected the same quality and results. There have apparently been changes made to the design of the interlocking parts, especially on the ends, that made it impossible to achieve good results. Since I was under a deadline I had to make the best of it, would have returned if there had been time. Luckily it's in a hidden area.

Can not praise this product enough, Love It!!! Looks Great!!!

Simple and easy to use, suggest that you use a scrap piece to knock lightly in place. So damages will not effect fitment of the next piece.

I was worried about this as there are people who had difficulty with installation. I am not a pro and this was my first time. The floor came out very nicely and has been down for about 3 weeks I think. It looks great and appears durable. I rolled AND SLID my refrigerator over it without any damage. FOLLOW ALL OF THEIR DIRECTIONS. In addition here is what I did. Snap a line to start and MEASURE carefully to make sure that the floor won't have any short pieces. When I FIT the long sides together I really worked them, sliding them back and forth a little then lower them with pressure into the groove from a low angle and then used the rubber mallet to snap the short sides togethe,r and then the mallet and tapping block to tighten the long sides together. You may have to tap a little hard and a dozen times but be careful near the ends of the tiles, don't damage the connection groves. Use your weight to keep the floor from moving when you are tapping and periodically check to see if the floor has shifted after tapping. Wear glasses if you need them and look CLOSELY at your joints making sure that the tile corners, where they meet, are EXACTLY in-line. The slightest variance will cause problems down the line. CUTTING was a snap (pun). I used a yard stick and taped some rubber on the back so it wouldn't move. Used a razor knife with a fresh blade. I scored the line gently first and then with hard pressure usually twice more. If it was a narrow piece maybe three hard scores. Narrow pieces I then put on the edge of a table and used my knee to secure it on the table. Leave your score just over the edge of the coffee table. I put pressure on one end of the scored piece and pulsed it like jumping up and down on a diving board. As the edge breaks I would work my way down the piece to the middle and then go to the other end and work from there. If the piece is too narrow or the cut too intricate I used a JIG-SAW with a fine blade at medium speed. Hope this helps This flooring was used in the kitchen obviously. I plan to use the same product on the entire main floor of the house but in a wood design . Pros are appearance, water-proof, ease of installation and price. My CONS for the product is that it is thinner than I expected and it is ALMOST slippery. Of course slippery helped me install the stove and fridge and dishwasher though. Good luck

Very nice looking. Seems like it will wear well. Very thick, so cutting is more work than some other vinyl planks (I did most of mine using a table saw.) Definitely need to use tapblock - seams fit nicely, but needed tapping and then mallet to tighten end lock. Installed 125 sq ft kitchen with numerous indents in about 6 hours of actual laying time. As usual, open areas go fast, indents don't.

After reading the instructions the flooring was very easy to install.

The tile flooring looks great in my newly remodeled bathroom! It was relatively easy to install (according to the contractor). It has matching molding and transition strips to complete the look. Love the fact that it's waterproof.

One of the best purchases we have recently made, along with a brand new toilet, vanity, bathroom mirror, medicine cabinet, wall cabinet, towel bar set etc. We were worried most about this Traffic Master Allure Ultra flooring. Some of the reviews were less the favorable, and we were worried about installation. However, worried for no reason. This was the easiest floor for my husband to put in, he kept saying, why did people have a hard time with this floor, it is so easy to put it. He had no trouble at all, and has put down many other floors. This was the easiest, and looks fantastic. We love the look of this flooring, and it cleans so easily. Waterproof, great looking, easy to take care of, what more could you want. And no nasty dirty grout lines to worry about. And a look of Travertine, we got the ivory travertine, and are so happy, the others in my opinion were too light, this gives a bit of pop, with some color very pretty, and will match easily with other colors. You have some darker and lighter mix in the pattern, to reflect the look of travertine. Love it, and believe me if you know how to put down flooring, this floor was so easy to put down. We are very happy with our choice. But I also have the right tools, the right tools for the job, does make a difference.

A few tiles had a corrugated like finish, maybe from shipping. Otherwise the tiles went down good with a tight fit.

This flooring is impressive! There's only one thing to be aware of: Traffic Master is so precise in the manufacturing of their product, that I was not prepared to discover just how "uneven" MY flooring surface actually was. Consequently, a few areas of the 200 square feet I installed, were not perfect, but it still looks great notwithstanding. Easier to install than I first thought. Lifetime guarantee (for residential use)? Can't beat that! And the "tapping block" (sold separately) is a must, to ensure you get that clean, professional-installation look. One last "heads up:" The shipping company(s) could do a better job in their handling of this product. 3 of the 10 boxes I ordered were damaged, as were the contents inside. However, true to form, Home Depot made it right by me. Totally satisfied with the product and the finished look. All I hoped it would be and more!

Installation went smoothly given my previous experience with a Kahrs wood floor. This was easier. Just be careful in long runs if your first row is not anchored against the wall with spacers as the tile will shift and start to mess up the joint alignment. Install is only 2 weeks gone so no idea about durability.

It is very pretty and looks durable.

Easy install and a great look. I like that water can't get through.

This vinyl tile is wonderful. It is still great a year later! Water resistant. It looks wonderful! Easy to install.

It took my contractor two tries to install it, but the second-time was a charm.

Fantastic flooring, waterproof option for my bathroom!

Easy to work with. Really looks good and seems to be of excellent quality.

The panels were very hard to connect and then slide into the next one
