Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Glad you like it.

great point and I may need to shoot a video that covers all of the various flooring types and installation types. I can certainly see why consumers are confused.

If a substantial amount of water is spilled on the floor it will seep through the cracks and settle underneath. From our experience it will take some time to dry out unless the planks are removed (no airflow). Biggest issue with moisture is the swelling/cupping that will result in the planks. We seal our concrete substrates with a moisture barrier that will essentially trap the moisture between concrete and bottom side of the planks. Without a food source, doubt you would see mold and we haven't experienced that over past 15 years.

subfloors are never perfectly flat and the milling on the factory finished floors isn't perfect either. If you slid two factory finished planks together, one plank may sit slightly higher than the one next to it and leave a sharp edge. Basically the bevel provides a smooth transition between each plank and allows for imperfect subfloor conditions. The bevel isn't required when sanding the floor since any high spots would be sanded flat.

heard this complaint before and will see if we can tone that down. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Your comment is misleading. To blatantly state all LVT is toxic and garbage is patently false. LVT didn't become the number one commercial floor covering without having tangible benefits. We love hardwood as much as anyone and it accounts for about 98% of what we do but our singles biggest pet peeve in the industry is cheap engineered planks that can not be refinished. Low cost solid is great above grade but that is not viable option below grade. Our preference will always be solid or high quality engineered but for those with a limited budget, it is our opinion that a non-toxic LVT is a better performing option over cheap mass produced crap that can never be refinished. Thanks for watching!
