Is the Life Proof product at Home Depot really "Waterproof"?
I will be replacing an engineered wood kitchen floor that has water damage from a backed up floor drain in the nearby utility room.
With a 60 year old home on a slab, I doubt that the floor will stay dry forever.
We are going to install USFloors (usfloorsllc.com) COREtec vinyl plank cork backed flooring in our place. Good stuff. One of my old computer clients is a flooring company and he highly recommends this brand.
I worry about rolling desk chairs. I am in mine a lot and there is a bit of weight distributed in those five casters.
I put click vinyl from Menards down in a kitchen but sold the house so have no idea about how well it stood up.
Have a house with a leaky basement that I just started on. Wondering if I put the plastic down and take it up the walls if that will allow the little moisture that gets in to make it's way to the floor drain. But then I have to worry about the slight taper for the drain as well.
Just wish I knew more about the vinyl planks.

If you're worried about the chair casters, it's easy enough to use a chair mat under the chair.

I have a rolling desk chair at my computer. I have been rolling around on it for over a year now and haven't got a single mark from doing so. I'm impressed...it was a concern of mine too. We did put the pads under the legs of the heavier furniture but mostly so I could slide it better for cleaning, but we literally have zero marks on the floor from dropping firewood, the furniture, the cats, etc. When we redo the kitchen floor, we will be using vinyl planking in there as well. My linoleum in there has gouges from things being dropped, cuts from knives, etc. I've dropped knives on the vinyl planking a few times...no marks.
+1 on the loose lay vinyl. I put it down in the basement and it's been super durable. I did drop a knife on a section but all it took was a couple of suction cups to pull it out and a new piece went right back in. We got ours at Floors To Your Home. Who? Floors To Your Home, that's who.
