The Vinyl Plank flooring by Shaw is made in the USA and I am impressed with the quality and price. This was my first time installing this type of flooring and it went down easily using the Shaw 200 flooring adhesive. All you need is a good sharp utility knife and a straight edge to make clean straight cuts. I would lay the planks with the cut ends next to the wall whenever possible so I would have perfect factory edges in the open areas. After I finished, I slid my sock feet all over the floor and it was perfectly smooth. Out of the 4 boxes of planks I used, I found none to have any defects. The floor looks beautiful and my wife is very happy with the results. Shaw also has videos online showing how to install the   flooring. I used 4 boxes of planks to cover a 14 X 12 bedroom and a 5 X 5 adjacent bathroom. With the gallon of glue, the entire floor cost       me 325. I know putting down linoleum would have been easier, but I don’t think it would have looked as nice.
