* I was an early product tester of Simply Surfaces flooring. Since I installed it last year they have decided to launch a 9 inch plank version which is more consistent with the demand they see from customers. I am really happy with the final result, it's a Jeff approved product. Cheers!

The earlier laminates were " water resistant ". If that is what was installed, as what was put in our home by the builder, you'll have those water issues. Technology has evolved and now there's waterproof. However, a floor's only as good as its installation! Thanks, Jeff for all of the great instruction on installing a solid floor!

I picked up one of those bulky tapping blocks with a handle and that thing completely revolutionized my experience installing my vinyl plank. It let me get even pressure and tap ends without a mallet so I could use the other hand to keep things steady. Also, I found a doorstop that you can put on your top hinge in like two minutes that works as a temporary solution or one that I ended up keeping because it's less noticeable than a stick coming out of your baseboard.

Good to note if you live in the Southwest like me and have concrete for subfloor, instead of screwing down the first row of flooring what you can do is take the huge flooring boxes the planks come in and just set them on top of the first 3 rows. Should be heavy enough

@@HomeRenoVisionDIYyou can use the laser to establish a straight line.Then transfer it to the floor and snap a line on the floor. You'll always have a control line at any point in the installation to measure off of. Especially when you were going into the next room to see how parallel the walls are to the run you've already established. I've laid down a lot of T&G sub-floor. Even with using 8' pieces it would still "rainbow" as you put it.

Looking into installing vinyl tiles soon so this video came out at a great time! In a video a couple of years ago, you mentioned you should use an underlayment on most floor types for 11 or so different reasons. What was the reason you didn't use one in this home? Cost, floor type, manufacture warranty limitation? I saw these boards have an underlayment on them already but have read that it can help with noise and other issues depending on subfloor type. Thanks for your videos!

Should baseboard boards be removed? Finally, should I use any type of adhesive for the floor? I’m thinking from all the research that I have done, install should be the following: demolition, repair any damage to walls, paint, install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, floor then lighting. Is this correct.

What are pros/cons of installing tongue to wall as opposed to groove to wall on first row?
@dennissimmons4967 8 күн бұрын
It allows you to slip in the next rows easily because on the next row, you can slide the tonque of the new row into the exposed groove of the first row. If you install the groove to the wall on the first row, you would constantly be trying to jam the groove of the new row under the tongue of the first row. It's not really a matter of pro/con. Tonque should go to the wall.
