I just brought home a rather large sample of the slate looking Allure Ashlar color, 21171 waterproof plank flooring tiles, and the smell was horrid. I know most people here are talking about the Allure that looks like wood. But has anyone used the Allure that looks like the slate? It is gorgeous, but I was astonished how the sample smelled. The stench was so bad, I had to set it out in the garage! Then I went back out there to get the numbers off the sample, and other samples of other vinyl brands were on top of the Allure sample. The Allure piece actually leeched the smell into the other tile sample while the rest above it (non Allure brands) were O.K. Good grief, what is with this smelly Allure product???? If the sample smells this bad, what would it do to my whole room? I am concerned about the toxicity of this product. I see several complaints about the bad odor. Has anyone had the smell problem with the slate looking Allure? I am disappointed---after reading this entire blog site, I may forget this product after reading the smell problems. Comments? Pretty please? Thank you so much!!!!!
