Flooring

LVP across living areas (consistent throughout). Tile in wet rooms. Existing carpet eliminated wholesale.

Locked

  • LVP: foyer, living, dining, kitchen, hallways, rec room, primary bedroom, all 3 secondary bedrooms
  • Tile: main bath, master ensuite, upstairs bath, sauna anteroom
  • Heated floor: main bath only (electric mat)
  • Existing wall-to-wall carpet: removed
  • Garage / lower storage: existing concrete (no flooring change)

Open / to price

  • LVP product / brand / color / plank width / wear-layer thickness
  • Glue-down vs. floating install
  • Underlay (pre-attached vs. separate)
  • Tile selection per wet room
  • Heated floor system — electric mat (likely) vs. hydronic
  • Transitions at door thresholds (LVP ↔ tile)
  • Baseboards — replace with reno (height/profile?) or keep
  • Subfloor prep — what's under the carpet, leveling needs

Cost (see main budget)

Notes & context
  • Why LVP: waterproof, durable, ski-boot/snow friendly for an alpine vacation home; lower cost than engineered hardwood; consistent throughout = no transitions between living spaces.
  • Why tile only in wet rooms: waterproof + slip-resistant where it matters; cold/hard underfoot is acceptable in baths and sauna anteroom.
  • Heated floor in main bath only because new build-out is the cheapest place to add radiant. Other wet rooms (master ensuite, upstairs bath) are common locations to revisit before tile install — flagged but not in current plan.
  • LVP-compatible heated floor: electric mat works under LVP if the LVP is rated for it; confirm before final product pick.
  • Existing flooring: carpet wall-to-wall throughout; eliminated wholesale.
  • Garage / lower storage: existing concrete stays — out of scope for the LVP/tile install.
