Looking at options to replace the carpet/vinyl at my rental townhouse. I was originally looking at laminate but the strata and management company is trying to convince me not to go that route. I was at King of Floors over the weekend and saw vinyl "hardwood" lookalike planks there. They look reasonably close to laminate/hardwood though slightly more pricier.

Just wondering if anyone has used these before and has any input as to it's durability and sound absorption ability. My townhouse is an upper floor unit so there are people below my main floor and I'd like to try to keep noise complaints to a minimum with the new flooring choice. I'm thinking vinyl maybe a viable "middle ground" between laminate/hardwood and carpet.

Anyone used these before and can provide an opinion on what they think of them?
