Product price is typically less than hard wood.
Its way more durable that hardwood and is not as prone to damage.
Its easy to repair compared to hard wood glue in a new tile typically its an invisible repair.
Its glued down to a smooth subfloor surface needs to be clean and smooth similar to a linoleum installation when it comes to subfloor prep.
Order an extra box based on sq ft needed save additional materials for repairs that way you have the same dyelot.
Its more durable than hardwood or laminate, we install vinyl plank in food stores like safeway and retail stores like sears.
No special tools are needed a "good utility knife" carpenter's square and a straight edge. Snap a chalk line and ensure your first row is straight, I prefer a dry tack adhesive so you can work on top of the product, some manufactures insist on wet set which is a little more challenging and can get messy.
Armstrong has a good DYI vinyl plank also very easy to install and subfloor prep is not as critical as the tile are glued together and not directly to the subfloor.
