We love this flooring type! Im going to throw some tips your way incase you officially decide on vinyl! Regardless if you choose the click lock or the glue down, vinyl floors have something called a wear layer. A wear layer is essentially the top layer of the plank - the thicker the layer the more durable it will be. This is often an overlooked component on this type of floor, hence why I’m sharing with you! If you are putting this floor in a more heavily trafficked area, your wear layer is extra important! Sometimes you will see a 6mil and 12mil wear layer floor marked at the same price. A 12mil plank literally has twice the wear layer as the 6mil, essentially making it TWICE as durable! I apologize if you already knew all this, I just want you to get the most out of the floor you choose! The home improvement world can occasionally be a slimy place and I hate seeing people overpay for lower quality products! I’m so happy you found this video helpful and I’m positive you can do this! You can always post back here (new comment, KZread does not give notifications on follow up comments) if you run into any issues and I will try my best to help!

Ай бұрын

I believe it's 300-400 square feet per 1 gallon pail for the 647 PlumPro. You should be good with one pail as long as you apply evenly. Could always grab a second to have with the plan to return if not needed. Highly recommend applying with a smaller 4"-6" thin roller, the larger roller seemed to suck up a lot of the glue and made it harder to apply. It's great stuff, 2 years later and our floors are going great, not a single plank has popped up :)

Question - I'm about to install this same floor, but in one area I will have to slide a heavy bed back and forth at least once a month to change the bedding, do you think sliding furniture over this floor will cause it to move/create gaps?

We have a very large sectional couch on this exact floor that we move monthly for cleaning, the floor has held up well underneath but we do have thick felt pads on each of the couches legs.

We did these floors in two houses, the rental (the one in this video) and our house. The rental floors look just as good as the day we put them down! We put them over laminated flooring which some people made a stink about but they have held up great to heavy traffic! Our house we applied them directly to the plywood subfloor, since they are glued down they expand and contract with the floor. There is some gapping in the humid summer months but it's almost invisible to the naked eye, you have to be looking for them. Maybe 1/16", hairline gaps, close up around fall. Hope that answers your question!

Did the trick and gave us a pretty straight floor throughout!

You would need to do a thin set coat of some sorts to fill the grout lines in to be flush with the tiles, otherwise you would end up with tile print indents overtime as the floor settles. If you fill in the grout then absolutely, just make sure the adhesive you get is rated for concrete/tile. I believe the Henny glue we used is rated to go over almost all floor types!

What if you have to reinstall this in a small area and when you pull it up you realize they laid it over two other vinyl planks. How do you make that area if the floor level? Can you use more glue?

@TayMarie23

Sounds like you have a bit of a mess on your hands! We ran into a similar issue in our bathroom. Under the sheet laminate flooring was 1/4” ply, and under the 1/4” ply was another layer of sheet laminate flooring glued down to the true sub floor. We ripped it all out, scraped the old glue, pulled out around 200 staples, and put down the new LVP planks. If it’s just a small area I’m guessing you can just reapply the planks you pulled up. Depending on the glue type used you might be able to just put the new planks down or you might have to scrape the existing glue off then apply new glue and planks. When it comes time to redo a large area it might be best to rip everything up down to the subfloor.

What did u measure off of for ur cholk line

@TayMarie23

Жыл бұрын

There are some great videos out there on proper methods where you measure the diagonal of the room and find your square straight line from that! We did not do that because of the shape of the room and where the kitchen cabinets were located made it hard to get an accurate diagonal measurement. So instead we just took several measurements off of the two walls that ran parallel with how we wanted to lay our floor. Then we took an average of those measurements and snapped our line. I hope that makes sense 😂 There are some great videos out there, just search “how to lay a floor strait” it can be any flooring type too, the methods will be pretty much the same :)

I am really concerned about the idea of gluing plank floor atop existing linoleum. However, if the old linoleum was well-glued to a good sub floor, the linoleum gloss removed /abraded. and well-cleaned for the plank floor to adhere to., it might be a good idea in that it might provide a waterproof vapor barrier under your new plank floor.....plus save on the work/cost of removing the old linoleum.I will have to do a bunch of research on this! P.S . A 'cats paw' tool and a sturdy putting knife are THE way to remove molding (and many other things!)

@TayMarie23

Yes absolutely! The prep will be very similar to the prep in this video. The only thing that may be just a little harder is making sure your floor is level and flat. If there are bumps or high spots they may need to be ground down. If there are any low spots that’s a simple fix with some self leveling underlayment! What’s most important is the adhesive you choose - make sure concrete is listed as an accepted subfloor…most do so that shouldn’t be an issue:) The product we used (Henry 647 PlumPro) works great with concrete! Hope this helps!

You will have to double check with the specific adhesive you choose but to my knowledge tile is an acceptable subfloor as long as the tiles and the grout are in okay shape. You can’t lay VP over loose or badly cracked tiles unless they are repaired first! You would just need to skim coat the surface with some sort of thin set and fill in the grout lines so they are level with the tile. Otherwise, as the floor settles, it could potentially mold into the grout lines and look bad. But as long as you even the surface first, it should come out great! Hope this helps :)

If I could afford a hardwood floor I wouldn’t hesitate to get one installed…but some of us just can’t do that, and that’s okay! I think LPV is a great alternative! People need to stop comparing it to real hardwood, because it’s not hardwood and it never will be! Don’t get me wrong there are some UGLY patterns and colors that these vinyl planks and tiles come in. There are also some very low quality products out there too! But as long as you avoid those and do a little due diligence, there are plenty of really great durable options! I think most of bad rep around vinyl plank floors came from the surge of house flippers using them almost every time. A lot of the flipper use the worst of the worst, so it has dragged down lots of people’s opinions of this flooring type! When we were looking at houses to buy we saw some awful installs!
