Another trick I've done and will add here: instead of using screws to hold the initial run of boards in place, just stack your boxes of flooring on the initial area you've done. This is particularly useful in a basement or other concrete floor application where using screws isn't an option :-)

This project has turned out magnitudes better than it would have without your videos. Thank you so much.

I have learned so much in just the last couple of weeks. Again, thank you.

I’ve been doing tile in 1+ million dollar homes and have really enjoyed your videos. Recently my brother asked me to come install some of this cork LVT in his house. I told him that I have never installed it before but I have done a lot of hardwood. His wife laughed and said he doesn’t care because he knows I will pay attention to detail. So I turned to your videos to get some great pointers 👍 I will be working on slab on grade so instead of screwing it down after setting the first 3-4 rows,I am planning on taking the full boxes of lvt and weighing it down. But periodically checking on my squareness. Thank you for your helpful videos.

@rebeccaplank9013 4 жыл бұрын

One thing I didn’t see mentioned in this video that from a designers perspective is very important, pulling flooring boards from different boxes for dye lot variations. As well as planning out a random pattern with boards as they repeat only a small number of “pictured” wood in any given box. The boxes are loaded randomly and have more of one plank than another and can be noticeable when laid down to close to the same board. I think most people don’t really think about this when there’re DIYing a project. Same goes for natural stone tile. Especially from big box stores. Otherwise, I learned a lot from your video. Cheers

Jeff, this video was extremely helpful! My question is, what if you want to lay this plank flooring over existing floors that have a combination of wood and carpet? I would love to see you do a video where you show the instructions of removing carpet, installing plywood to meet the level of the existing hardwood floors and then installing over the entire area. I hope that made sense! I love watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you! 😊

@MAGAMAN 2 жыл бұрын

I would guess that you never want to put this or any other flooring over carpet. If you have wood and don't want to remove it, remove the carpet part and shim it up with the appropriately sized plywood of water resistant board approved for flooring underlayment. DO NOT USE MDF OR PARTICLE BOARD. if any liquid gets on that stuff, you will have a mess. I would really recommend removing any existing flooring because there may be issues underneath that old flooring that are about to cause problems and you don't want to have to remove all your new flooring to fix them.

@Lewisusa11 2 жыл бұрын

I'm getting ready to do that right now. Just pulled up the carpet in the hallway, removed nasty late 60's vinyl (hopefully!) flooring (some green, some pink!), then laid down 1/2' particleboard underlayment (you may need thinner or thicker, use a piece of the vinyl flooring your using to determine heights), and am now ready to do hallway. I will spread out from there to each adjacent room. I am going over some oak flooring in the living room that was under the carpet when I bought the house. Unfortunately, it is the only room with oak. It would cost way more to put oak in all the other rooms, and oak is pretty high maintenance, compared to the vinyl. I have a good product source ass neighbor has a flooring installation business. :)

A lot of the rookies believed there was such a tool. So, is there such a tool that spreads the floor enough to remove and replace a single piece? If so, where can I see it in action?

Hello, I’m getting ready to get my floor installed and had a basic question. My planks are 5 feet long and the room wall(where I’m to start with) is 10 feet 5 inches long. How would you recommend the first row to comprise of? 2 full planks and a small plank cut 5 inches long? Or something else? Also, other videos talk about the first and the last row to be the same size, is this what you recommend as well? Thank you and know that we are big time fans of all what you do to help other DIYers..

I saw how you cut the start of the rows with 1/3 and 2/3 planks after the first full plank, how does this avoid having a very small piece at the end?

@kennedybaffoe2683 3 жыл бұрын

I think it similar to tiling..if you end with a small piece at the end that piece will be consistent in the following rows

Thanks for another great video, Jeff! My husband and I watched your excellent painting video yesterday. We're going to begin painting our basement newly-installed drywall today. Last week we had water in the basement, so we've revised our flooring plan from carpeting to something else. Just saw this flooring at the store and wonder if this would be okay. Part of the basement has old tile on it, and part is just concrete. (It's sort of like three rooms, but they're not walled off.) So two are tiled and one is not. Crazy, huh? The flooring we liked has not cork, but a kind of black rubber on the back. What do you think of this? We really know nothing and are at the mercy of people like you who can direct us. Thanks for any help you can give us!

If I am installing LVP throughout my kitchen, dining and living room, do I need transitions from room to room? It is not a great room design, but each room is compartmentalized without doors. Thanks!

I would also like to know if that can be done. I dont want to use t molding if it can be avoided. Hope we get the answer before I complete my floor. Lol

@InstructorEsco 4 жыл бұрын

The only time you NEED moldings with LVP is when you're transitioning from the LVP to another hard-surface (I.E. hardwood, tile, etc.). Connected LVP rooms do not need transitions. You don't even need end-caps for carpet transitions. The carpet can be reinstalled directly into the LVP with either a Z-bar or latex.

We purchased Core-tec LVP and connected them end to end first for the full length of the run then placing them side to side. Didn't have to hammer each piece in place. Saved so much time and frustration.

I would like to see the cutting and installing of the heating registers. The register holes in my current old flooring are really tight and I am afraid if I cut the opening in the new floor with a jug saw after I lay it down, I may not be able to get the hole big enough for the registers to fit. Good video.

cut the existing holes a little larger first.This way if your floor moves while installing it you won't have a big problem after.

I did a couple of rooms using the LPV. I used a knife. the only recommendation I would offer is...depending on the direction of the LPV, start at an exiting door, and work to a flat wall. I removed/replaced my baseboards instead of the 1/4 round as I was upgrading my baseboards from MDF to solid wood. the baseboards and quarter round will hide any imperfections, as well as your transition at the door will look fabulous if you opt out of the trim piece to cover it. Also, it will be easier to work with door casings if that is your starting pieces. I had concrete, so I couldn't use screws.

After removing carpet, inspect steps for any needed repairs (nail holes, staple holes, etc,), repair with wood filler if needed, sand the stair treads, stain, and apply polyurethane. NOTE: When I did this a fear years ago, I realized that the stair treads and the risers were different wood and did not take stain exactly the same. Therefore, the treads and risers do not look exactly the same color. Of course, if you're doing to paint, not stain, the steps, that's another matter.

@MrAbcdefghi12435 6 жыл бұрын

Jigsaw is messy. I found (if the flooring is thick enough,) you can score with a knife and snap it off. Use a level or something as your straight-edge and just score it a few times. Might have to snap it off with pliers if there's only 2 inches or less that you're trying to remove. If it's less than an 3/4" you might not have much luck with this method and might find jigsaw easiest.
