What floor is more durable?

Clickable or Stickable?

We will replace by ourselves.

Is it better to use specific underlying or have it already as a part of the tile?

Any additional advice?

I am all ears.

My experience is that click tile is the best. The edges of the stick down tiles always seem to get dirt in the glue and then they begin to work loose. That glue also doesn't do so well when it gets warm (as in a pier & beam house that's closed up on a hot summer's day without air conditioning).

Almost all of the click tile anymore has the underlayment built into the tile.

I still have a lot of the allure sticky edge stuff. I keep saying that I will try it again but I sucked at the last attempt so much I just let it sit.

Have a lot of new glue down stuff from Armstrong. It is self stick but I figure I will use releasable glue as well. I hope that it is better than the 1x1 stuff I used to use years back.

I still like going back to the click stuff. I can get it down fast, I have a shear to cut it (which will work with the other styles as well) and it has no mess for me.

I used to use only the sticky stuff. I have converted to only the clicky stuff.

And NEVER laminate, only solid vinyl planks.

As others have said, make sure there is a decent wear layer.

I definitely prefer built in pad.

For whole houses or larger rooms, the larger the tile the better. It goes down faster and there are fewer seams.

I literally just got back from picking up some 12mil 7.2in x 48in click vinyl for just under a buck a foot. More than I need for this project so if I have chipped ends I should be alright.

Plus I will use the chipped stuff in closets. Started doing that a bit ago. I put vinyl plank in the closet with a transition strip. That was it stays forever. Works great when I carpet bedrooms in the duplexes.

I concur that clickable is more durable.

I got 22mil

Was doing installation today.

The problem for me is to click the short side of the tile.

Is it any secrets how to do it?

I have found that it is really brand dependent on how to click them together.

I have run the long side in and rubber mallet the short side. Some I have slipped the short side in and then push the long side to click it.

My sister had some for a shed project that I had to click the row of short sides together then click the long as one big run. It was a pain for sure,

Don't use a bare hammer, use a taped up mallet or get a rubber click block. I found one of those at Menards. It is great to get the short runs in place and better for that then the hard plastic ones I use for the long sides.
