Debunking Common Myths

 

“Glue-down is hard to install.”
Not true. If you can measure, cut, and follow instructions, you can handle glue-down with patience and basic tools.

“6 mil isn’t durable.”
It depends on usage. For homes, rentals, or light traffic spaces, 6 mil is often more than enough.

“All vinyl looks fake.”
The Southwind Colonial Plank line is designed to look like real wood—people often can’t tell the difference until they touch it.
