Get the rigid version (about ¼" thick) and not the floppy ⅛" thick stuff. Get the type with the pad already adhered to the back.It's all tough and water proof stuff. The more expensive ones look better and have a superior locking system. Check out IVC products on line. I've sold and installed their stuff on literally hundreds of jobs from apartments to multi million dollar homes and people are always happy. If you plan on doing it yourself I'd be happy to give you some time saving pointers. It's a product designed for the DIYer

Perfect, thanks!

The room is gutted, so no baseboards, door casing, etc.... There will be door thresholds. Maybe I can get those up, trim the bottom of the edge facing that room and then put them back down so the LVT goes under them.

So they are stiff enough go over the cupped boards without having to sand them? I bought a sander. Most of the floor is finished. I assume it might not be a bad idea to put a little something on some of the spots with no finish to protect the wood at the very least.

Great to get a second confirmation that the floating install is good as that's my preference.

If we go that route, I'll definitely hit you up! Thanks!
