Hi Jaimie! It's hard for us to tell because we are filming at the same time that takes up time. 😆 This is probably a weekend project if you have all the materials you need. It took us about 4 days.

Is it best to go the opposite or same directions with the Smartcore while laying the vinyl planks? Meaning the taped seams in the same direction as the planks. Hoping I’m making sense. I have it out but not taped, that’s tomorrow’s chore with the planks.

You did an awesome job guys. I would like to ask if the floor has a bounce? I saw when you installing it that it was moving up and down when you added pressure, so I wonder, when you walk on it if it does move/ bounce.

@DIYPowerCouple

Жыл бұрын

It's a floating floor, but (no) it doesn't have a bounce. Once you lay it all down, it settles nicely on the ground. The underlayment really helps the flooring. Hope this helps!!! -DIYPC 😃✨

Hey thanks for the video it was very detailed I have one question you guys left little gap at the end does flooring stay at one place or move ? How to make sure it doesn’t?

@DIYPowerCouple

Жыл бұрын

Interlocking vinyl planks are considered a floating floor that need a little gap to breathe...expand and contract during weather changes.

Just use your oscillating tool to cut the notches way easier

Great video! I'm gearing up to start my house! I have a question...if you buy planks with the underlayment attached, as you guys did, do you still need to lay down the separate underlayment (yellow sheet)???

@DIYPowerCouple

7 ай бұрын

In our opinion, yes. There are a lot of benefits. Take a look at our other underlayment video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/maSYtLSBqsTIcqg.htmlsi=9UuZqi43Qtg_FWA3

Can you explain the expansion joints? After you lay the flooring, what do you use to cover up the gap between the floor and baseboard?

@DIYPowerCouple

11 ай бұрын

We use quarter round trim to cover the gaps otherwise you would have to remove all of the baseboards and cut your flooring up to the wall. Then you would have to place all of your baseboards on top of the flooring. It is more work to remove the baseboards.

Great video. Use a real hammer, not the rubber mallet!!! My project went from frustration of the constantly moving planks, to one-and-done.

Great job. Do you know how to ground a gas meter? Not using a copper rod but entrenched around the house?

Some have said that using underlayment voids the flooring warranty if it already has padding included??

You're correct. Some padded plank manufacturers recommend an underlayment for a moisture barrier in between. It's best to check with the specific manufacturer to be sure.
