Installing vinyl plank flooring is an easy home renovation project that can totally change the look of a room. Avoid beginner mistakes with some tips and tricks I share along the way. This vinyl flooring can even be installed over other floors like linoleum vinyl sheet, wood laminate and tile. And best of all it can be done with basic tools. #flooring #vinylplankflooring #homerenovation

I own a hardwood floor company, installation and refinishing but I also install laminate/LVT floors and I promise you, while he did deliver a good end result, he made it look and sound far more complicated than it really is. While you do need a basic working knowledge of a tape measure, a saw and a speed square, installing this stuff is really not that difficult. Even my first time installing it I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was. Don't be discouraged by all the layout programming and planning he did and just give it a shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I just did this same job, using the same material, and you are absolutely right. I love how he starts out by saying he is just a do-it-yourselfer, then proceeds to pull out every pro tool including the use of a fully equipped "shop". Most people don't have all of this stuff. It is faster if you all the right tools though.

Anyway, watched both of your videos and the instruction to fit the long side first and then tap in the short side made a world of difference. Not sure why the box says to do it the other way, but thank you for saving my knees and my sanity!

The easy way to avoid having a tiny strip at the far side of your wall (a big no-no) is to measure the floor and divide the width by the width of the plank. If the remainder is less than 2”, you need to do as he did and take a couple of inches off the first plank so your last plank will be wider. Same thing with the length. If the remainder is less than 6”, take enough off the first plank so that the last plank will be at least 6” long. You don’t need a computer program for this.

Actually if u divide the width of room by plank width and the remainder is 2 (just an example) and the 2 to the width of the planks and divide that by 2 and u will get the dimension u should rip the first piece down to and the last row will be the exact same width. Say your remainder is 2 and your planks are 7” 7+2=9. 9 divided by 2=4.5 so cut your first row down to 4.5 and your last row will also be 4.5. Gives it uniformity

The biggest error is installing it over a perfectly good solid tile floor. Hear me out. I began installing the flooring over my existing tile floor. I know it looks good but I questioned the quality of the style. After laying a few planks I walked on it. Back and forth for 15 minutes. I didn’t rush installing the plank flooring, and I didn’t rush my judgement on the flooring quality. After pondering I not only decided not to install it but thanked the heaven above that I paused and thought it over with passion. My opinion after thinking it through was that the new floor looks really nice. But it ends there. I didn’t like the tapping sound where uneven planks tapped the tile. I also didn’t like the hollow sound. And lastly I didn’t like the noise it made when dragging you foot across it. Regardless if you are wearing your shoes or simply socks. Instead of updating the floor I updated the rest of the bathroom in a way that complimented the floor. His laundry room floor is not outdated enough that it would be impossible to work with. He could have done a color change, perhaps a faux accent wall and some nice decorations with improved lighting. All in effort to have a solid floor underfoot. My 2 cents. What I mean is not to criticize him. I am passing on to anyone thinking about doing this should question deeply if you are willing to install a floor that looks great but has the risk of feeling like a floor in a trailer home vs a solid floor that tile offers.

I see you switched from scoring on the back side of the pieces to scoring on the finish side. I was going g to suggest that as it makes it less likely to damage the the finished side edges. Great job....a multipurpose tool is great for some of the difficult cut areas that are hard to cut with a carpet knife or a table saw as well....keep up the great videos. Wish your videos were out when I learned ...it would have saved me a lot of trial and error. On a side not for others....if you can take out the baseboards easily enough it is alot easier than cutting angled on and putting in new quarter round and finishes up alot easier as well.

@doesntmatterwhatthenameis Жыл бұрын

Always start from an outside wall if available they are the straightest typically. Scoring and snapping works on long cuts, you just have to apply a lot of pressure for a clean break and start at an end work your way down. Also would recommend Olfa for just about any cutting purpose for floors, utility knife screams beginner. The spacing you left as well more than likely will never be necessary. Only have to leave big gaps for long runs most commonly around 20ft. To explain simply every board has the possibility of expanding 1/16 maybe 1/32 multiplied by how many rows you are doing can lead to binding and warping. A laundry room is to small to experience that in all likelihood. As well you are doing a plastic composite board, doesn’t expand like a 1/2inch laminate or really any sort of wood product.

@7:43 use the piece you cut off the last row. and @8:41 if you line up the boards on top of each other and place another against the wall so it lays onto of those you will get a better line incase the wall isn't straight plus it will give you the gap you need around the wall for it to move. just giving you some tricks i learned. nice job looks good

Great video. I use the score and snap method for my cross cuts and depending on tool availability use a jigsaw or circular saw for rips. The most versatile tool I've found for making all cuts, especially jambs and mouldings is an oscillating too. (Ridgid JobMax for Fein Multimaster, i.e.) I use that to make all of my complex cuts around obstacles as well as trimming door casings and jambs. As far as keeping the pattern random, I like to finish a row and start with my scrap on the next row. (provided it doesn't place my joints too close together, typically 6-8" difference is manufacturer spec, depending on the product.) Keep up the good work!

when we bought our house we painted. but being new homeowners we did some shortcuts like leaving the tv up and now we have a white box on the wall while the rest of the wall is brown. luckily we just had to do an insurance claim for our subloor so as we replace it were going to repaint and make sure get it all this time.
