Any opinions on Gerflor Griptex Additions vinyl flooring?

As the title says anyone used this? The adds say it can be used on a subfloor with imperfections but I can't find out how much unevenness it will cover. Would save a lot of work if the floor doesn't need screeding.

Vinyl cushion floor is by design a flexible product. It is a blown vinyl type product. This makes it inherantly "mouldable".

You are considering purchasing one of the more expensive vinyls, yet in the same breath you are considering cutting costs, - that doesnt really make sense to me.

To try and actually answer your questions:

In my experience customers purchase a vinyl based on colour and design, not manufacurers claims, but yes some have bought this product and no one has yet complained.
I cannot comment on claims of covering imperfections, but given my comments above I strongly doubt them.
I along with every other member of the flooring industry would be very badly failing in my job if I did not advise a customer to have an uneven floor repaired before attempting to install vinyl flooring. In your post you indicate that this would require screeding - this is not an expensive process and the effort shows in the quality of the finished floor. It is a one off process that will outlive your tenure in the property.

Finally as usual why not enquire how much a professional would charge to do the job and then balance that against the hassle and cost of struggling to do this yourself

Good luck

Thanks, just what I wanted to know, it's always best to have the opinion of someone who knows what they're doing.
