Field notes
The checklist offers comparison choices for vinyl, tile, and wood, including visible grout, foam backing, click profiles, and signs of wear. The measurement calculator asks for room length and width, then estimates waste and the number of boxes and planks. The linked learning material extends from wear layers and room suitability to tools, installation, care, and repairs; the page also cautions that its report is not a licensed inspection.
