What we'd check before buying Grandeur
- Ask for the wear layer in millimetres and the finish type (aluminum oxide, UV oil or hardwax oil). Why it matters.
- Check the humidity range in the warranty against your home in winter. A $15 hygrometer tells you.
- Finish warranties cover wear-through, not scratches. Warranties decoded.
- Ask for the AC rating (AC4 for pets and busy homes) and how many hours of standing water it's rated for.
- Check which rooms the warranty allows. Many exclude full bathrooms.
- Laminate vs vinyl, honestly.
- Ask for the wear layer in mil: 20+ for kids, dogs and rentals. Specs explained.
- "Waterproof" covers the plank, not your subfloor. The truth about waterproof.
- Check the heat and sunlight section if the room has big south or west windows.
- Keep the receipt and a photo of the lot number on the box end. You'll need both for any claim or matching repair.
