Luxury vinyl flooring and heat - does it mark?

We need to replace our dining room floor in our new house. Need something hardwearing and easy to clean (pets and toddler). We settled on luxury vinyl flooring which comes in planks.

I am now having second thoughts as the room is south facing and has French doors with large windows either side so the sun streams through virtually all day and it gets pretty warm. During the really hot weather recently the existing floor (laminate) got extremely hot underfoot. (I will be getting blinds but don't want to shut the sun out!)

The sales guy who came to quote and bought some samples said it would be fine, however the samples he brought in had been sat in a very hot car and were pretty bendy and flexible. They soon cooled and stiffened up but now I'm concerned that when the vinyl heats up in situ it'll be softer and more easily dented.

Anyone have this type of flooring and can help?
