The wear layer is the clear top coat that takes the scuffs. On these planks it’s 12 mil, about a third of a millimeter, over a printed wood look, a rigid waterproof core and the attached pad.

Home Decorators Collection vinyl plank flooring installation

It’s a floating floor: the planks click to each other, not to the subfloor. The general order of work:

1Prepare the floorClean, flat and dry. Remove the old baseboard or quarter round.
2Plan the rowsMeasure the room so the last row isn’t a thin sliver; trim the first row if needed.
3Click and staggerAngle each plank into the last and press down. Stagger the end joints row to row.
4Leave a gap, then trimLeave the expansion gap the instructions call for at walls, then cover it with trim.

Follow the installation guide in the box for gaps, subfloors and rooms where it shouldn’t go. The pad is attached, so no separate underlayment is needed.

Vinyl plank questions

Short answers first, then where to read more.

Is Home Decorators Collection LVP waterproof?

The listings call the planks 100% waterproof.

That’s about the planks themselves; water can still get under a floor at the edges, so use the trims.

How many boxes of vinyl plank do I need?

Take the room’s square feet, add 10% for cuts, and divide by the case size, 23.8 sq. ft. for Palenque Park.

Round up to whole cases. The calculator above does it for you.

Vinyl or laminate?

Vinyl for wet rooms and basements; laminate if you want a thicker, more wood-like feel in a kitchen or living room.

Compare on the laminate guide.

How does it compare with LifeProof vinyl?

Both are Home Depot’s own vinyl lines.

See LifeProof vs Home Decorators Collection.

What’s the return window?

The Palenque Park listing shows a 90-day return window.

Keep a spare case until the job is done.

Who do I call about a defect?
