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 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
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.
Thank you for saying this.
Its okay to install that floor over the tile?
@@greenroses26 yes it's a floating vinyl floor so you can install it over the tile, and the black layer you see on the bottom is a vapor barrier.
@@taylorballard9422 Is there any need to glue it?
I am 76 and I just did my entire lower level of some 860s.f. It took me four days since I had to rest my back after about four hours of bending over. It came out beautiful and was very easy. Only needed a pencil, a measuring tape, a sharp utility knife and a hand roller to set the seams. I used vinyl plank flooring with the glue edge.

wow!!!❤
This gives me hope!
I used that same type flooring in a house I renovated as a 62 year old female and it saved me a ton of money and I had no issues. I may put it in my basement if it’s cheaper than lvp. Piece of cake to cut. I used Trafficmaster Allure Flooring from HD.
Nice job next time get a flooring hammer will get the job done faster, they go for $20 at home depot and with a knife cut the edges of the rubber side for a more round end🫡
I love how you didn't stop the whole video to talk about your sponsor, but just had it playing in the upper right hand corner while the flooring install was going on in the background. Very clever and much appreciated.
I think it's great that he's showing all the mistakes he ran into on the way and the fixes with it. That way you aren't left with "oh I messed up, now what?"
"Oh good a beginning video!" -- 5 minutes later: "Hi, Can I get a quote for a floor installation?"
That being said, wish I could hire this guy!
Facts!
Right!!! Lmaooooo 😭😭😭😭
Haha
Lmao
While some people think he makes it look more difficult, for me he showed exactly what to expect and leaves the DIYer to decide for themself. And he hits on everything that could come up. He packs a lot of info into just 10 minutes so maybe watch it again. Great video.
Me too. Home Depo videos are slick & problem free, and make it look too easy. Then when you do your own, you find out nothing in their video was accurate, and the million questions that come up leave you going back and forth to the store for more tools and what not, and having to come up with work-arounds to all the unforeseen dilemmas.
Dd
@@jameseverett4976 Exactly
@@jameseverett4976 H didn't pull his floor base. Without a gap between the wall and the floating floor, that floating floor will shrink and expand over time it will buckle. Hire a professional.
@@Cspacecat He very clearly DID leave a gap, even used spacers to make sure. Watch it again, dude.
“Installing floor as a beginner” step 1 make a 3d model of your house
Right😅 but I do have graph paper and measuring tape.
sooo... what I learned is that I need someone to professionally install these lol thanks!
I love how you not only show the steps for how to install the floor, but also the missteps when things went slightly wrong and you fixed it. Those are the most helpful tips in my opinion!

@Tom Smith oh really? I don’t know that much about it. We chose LVP for our kids’ rooms when we built our house, not sure if that’s the same thing.

Hi Brad, nice work as always. Would you recommend using the vinyl plank flooring for a much larger space such as a living room and dining room?
@@gregm6604 yes, I think it would be good. And have had lots of comments of those who have done it and love it
That’s en excellent walk through. It also changes how I may start my project. I was looking to do this exact thing but I definitely do not have the tools to address all the issues at once. Thanks
Fix This Build That how come you didn’t use under payment
We install this flooring all the time. Vinyl siding snips work great when cutting to length.
Really helpful video! Lots of detail but not overwhelming for reluctant DIYers like me. And great that you include flubbed cuts and how to fix them! Thank you!
I want to thank you so so much! I was struggling putting down vinyl plank flooring for the first time. 😫 I was following the box directions and had had to pull up the about 8 rows I'd done twice because the rows kept coming loose! 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.
Really needed this. I'm an apprentice, two years into it. Cheers
Thanks for the math on that, I was curious about the same thing. I'm about to redo the floors of a rental with this and while this video is good, it lacked this kind of advise. Thank you again.
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
Exactly, he makes everything so complicated and wastes so much time with unnecessary steps
@@trumpking4874 Love this. Thanks
the fact that my mom did this to our whole house by herself just proves my mom is like superwoman.
or she is just Asian...
My mom did our upstairs and I felt useless lol
max factor wtf🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO🤣🤣
Mums rock 💪
Humbug.
I am loving this. I am taking notes in another window on desktop, already own the tools and supplies, and ready to implement. I'm a 62-year young grandmother with Osteoporosis but this is so motivating and I thank you.
Love that you show the errors we would all make! Thanks for keeping it real!
I'm a DIY-er, I like that you showed the errors and how to fix them.
It's such a huge part of learning!
Olha fico lindo amei. ❤❤❤❤
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.
The jukebox it was a vinyl floor, Not tile. But I understand what you mean regarding the downfalls of planks over tile. He shouldn’t have those issues.
@@wheelie642 Great description of why using an underlayment is key. The padding on the back of some vinyl plank is not enough.
Thanks for the video! I'm out to install laminate flooring in one of my bathrooms tomorrow after prepping and planning today. By simplifying the process and presenting in an approachable way, I now feel confident taking on this project - though I know I'll hit a "few bumps" for sure. Take care and keep the awesome content coming.
I love this so much. Thank you for all the tips and advice, I’ve been renovating my own bedroom and finding cheap ways to do it.
BEGINNER VIDEO⁉️ only thing I got from this video is to remind myself to get a quote for installations 🙄
😂 My thoughts, exactly!
My thoughts exactly! This is one of those, "Do not try this at home, unless you're a professional videos!"
If you go very slow, it’s not as hard as you would think, just very time consuming for beginners, but you will learn a lot and feel accomplished!
I Just wanted to comment on your video. I've been in the flooring business just under 50 years. Your video on installing the floating floor was great! it covered everything right down to properly fastening the quarter round. I'm in technical services as well as highly involved in training others. Very nice job and well done.
One of the best DIY videos I've watched... and I have watched alot. No blah, blah, blah, straight to the point, great pointers on tips as well as well as how to fix errors. For all the comments about hiring installers because it looks hard, the install is the easy part, the floor is the hard part... ON YOUR KNEES ;-)
You did a wonderful job and made it really easy to understand. I have been wanting to put in this flooring in our kitchen, hall and washroom for last 3 years. Hoping to get family to help me soon.
This is a great video for do it your selfers because he shows you a lot of what not to do. Bunch of vids out there with professionals not showing any mistakes like that. Thank you sir for posting and nice job!
I really learned some nice tricks watching your video. I made many mistakes on my first floor and not as many on the second. This will definitely help me make none here on out. One thing I learned on my own: be sure to get all your flooring for a room with the same lot number. I had a lot of problems getting the planks to match up with no gaps due to using three different lot numbers. Learning as I go..
My problem is that my floors aren't level everywhere and so it seems like I keep having ends that lift a bit. It shows in the sun, so I've taken it out three times so far...
I've done a few laminates, he did a good job covering everything, and I had never thought about the pattern thing. Good video
Great video. Thank you Ashton Kutcher!
😂🤣
I’m so happy that I came across this video! It just confirmed that I need to hire a handyman and saved me a lot of headache by trying to do it myself. But he gets 5 stars for his valiant effort to teach us how to DIY.
hahaha 100% same here. I keep hearing from people "oh I did my own flooring, oh I did my own deck ...oh I built my own home"....and it started make me feel confident that OK perhaps I can at least do the flooring of my mudroom. But after watching this video I feel I'm better off just paying a handyman to come do this professionally.
Loved your suggestion to make piles of identical patterned pieces, then rotate which pile you select from to help "randomize" the patterns throughout the project. Great tip!
I am suspicious. Sounds great to minimize numbers of planks. Hope I can do it properly.
Thanks, I hope.
Came to your channel from some of your woodworking videos, and then saw this. This is a project I've been planning to do for a couple of years (just need the time), and I loved your approach for demonstrating it.
First sponsor message I actually enjoyed. Great way to include it without taking away from the video. Wish everyone could do it that way. Great vid.
I watched the first 10 secs and almost decided to do it myself. I am glad that I did watch 3 mins longer...
I actually liked how your video was still playing while the sponsor video was on the top right corner. Great way to not pause what you are doing. Great video btw!
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! As a beginner, I found your step-by-step instructions on installing vinyl plank flooring incredibly clear and easy to follow. The practical tips and tricks you shared throughout the video were extremely helpful. I feel much more confident tackling my own home renovation project now. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for these videos man, you’re a great teacher and I’m grateful for you. Very helpful and very informative, you rock!
Honestly just wanna say thank you for leaving your mistakes and dodgy cuts in the video.
Makes normal people like us feel a bit better when we stuff something up knowing you did aswell and it’s to be expected. Plus it also shows us how to fix our mistakes by just following your video.
Gained a new sub well done 💯🤙🏾
When he said, “I went down to my shop” I was on the phone with Home Depot! 😂
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.
Much appreciated for this tutorial. Going to be redoing my kitchen floor using tile laminate for the vapor barrier, and this is all good stuff I'm seeing.
This video is cool that he shows his difficulties during the flooring
This video is a perfect reason to hire someone lol I’m exhausted just after a few minutes watching 😂
He made this a lot harder then it needed to bei could do that whole job with only 3 tools and a pencil. Definitely extra lol but it’s a good video to understand the bigger picture
🤣😂
Scott be for reallll this video is not exactly all you need 😆 he did too much all you really need is measuring tape pencil common sense and your planks lol
@@silvertrident7055 Then you have never laid this floor. It goes exactly like he showed and you need the tools he used.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Words cannot express my deep appreciation for you today, but I'm hella grateful. I'm afraid to walk around here because the floor might eat me, & not in a fun, sexy way. 😂
Appreciate the Super Thanks!
So satisfying. Need more people like you in this field of professionalism
find a nerdy friend that will help you with a computer-aided design. I can't even find people to help me carry the flooring to my house? Lol
Right, join the club...(lol).
I know what you mean, I live on the 3rd floor of a building with no elevator and those planks are really heavy.
@PogChamp 45 pounds a bundle, ball park. Could be 50
@@gabbytanner7059 I put them on a tarp and drag them in. Weakling woman here.
Lol 😂😂😂
You cannot imagine the encouradgenent and self confidence with what you gifted me by this video!
Greetings from Hungary and Romania.
Gift is not a verb, it's a noun.
I searched for information about floating vinyl flooring, and found this video. I am in awe of people who are this handy. I can’t even cut a straight line in a piece of paper.
All these tools overwhelm me this is a full job!!! Am about to do my bathroom and am sure is a going to be a process !!!!
Looks great. I am doing the same flooring, same color in my place upstairs and down over some 60 yr old wooden planks that are seriously old and stained. I incorporated Zumma vinyl stair treads in Sterling oak and trimming it out with white caulking, 5" baseboards to cover the plaster mess at the wall bottoms, and trimming them out with matching Sterling Oak 1/4" round.
Well explained and well done. I like it when one goes to the point without excess jargon. Thank you.
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.
😬not doing it. No,way. I'll hire someone. Thanks for the realist video. Got to know your limits. This is beyond my skills.
Agreed, know when to ask for (or hire) some help. Regardless; this is my target demographic's GSpot for my newest brand 'RESON8 Renov8'.
One of the best vids I've viewed on laying LVT flooring. Simply and clearly explained , with no unnecessary wordiness. Just gets right to it. Thanks so much for posting!
I installed vinyl plank flooring in my sister's kitchen, living room, and bathroom with no experience in installing any type of flooring. I made a few bad cuts at first but then it was super simple and we had it all done in a couple of days. Thank you for a great video. I needed a little refresher course since I'm headed down to Florida to install it in my daughter's condo.
what do you do if you can get rid of the seam on the short side? We've been trying for days
@@wendycolley3819 If only one side seam is cut then use it as first piece on the next row or the last piece depending on which side seam is gone. If both side seams have been cut then you have material for some coasters. Grab a new piece and try again.
I thought I could easily install the floors for my grandma's new apartment. This really amazing 10 minute video helped me realize that we should definitely hire some help. Thank you so much!
Step one: Get yourself a workshop and full set of power tools.
@@cantrembrt it can be done with a pencil, mallet, square, utility knife and flush cut handsaw(or oscillating tool). Less than $100 in tools.
10:52 (10 mts,52sec) this is ALL it took him to explain how to install laminate floor? ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO, I 've ever seen, GRACIAS!
Thank you for including your errors and subsequent fixes. That is really helpful to us non-pros.
Great video and nice to see where you try to use what most people would have tool wise without using the million dollar tools most don't have.
Thanks for the tip about break planks the long way. You never know how the material will behave. The pink foam under your saw is a great idea. I use wood, but its heavier of course.
È stupendo vedere gli animali come sono contenti siete stati bravissimi a fare una cosa del genere se lo meritano
The end result looks excellent. Your instructions are very clear. I didn’t realize I’d need so many tools for the project.
All u need is a knife and something to cut the base for it to go under on the doors I do this daily and also he needed the weights to hold it down because he didn’t take off the vinyl that’s under the wood
That was fantastic. Will be watching this ten times before installing the floors in my house 👍🏻
Exactly that's how you do it, good luck
Thanks bro I’m literally about to start my own business doing floors
You make it look so easy because you have all those tools! It looks fabulous. I’m gonna do this for my kitchen floor!!
What a wonderful video where you show both your mistakes and walk thru how to avoid them! You’re awesome!
I learned my lesson about painting behind appliances. I was doing a kitchen paint job for an older neighbor across the street. She specifically asked me to paint behind her refrigerator and electric range. I may have been a terrible person for thinking this but I said to myself, "This lady is knocking on 80. There's no way in the world that she's going to move these appliances out of the way and check behind me to see that I did it. She'll probably be in a nursing home before she even thinks about replacing these things." Well I couldn't have been more wrong! 2 months later she purchased a new washer and dryer and the store gave her a free refrigerator. She was so happy that she bought a new range too. Long story short, I'm glad that I went ahead and painted behind the appliances anyway (in lieu of my earlier thoughts) because it would have been very embarrassing to try to explain why I made a promise and then lied about it.
You made the right call 😀👍
This is a great video. Not sure how I'm supposed to do the transition pieces on a concrete slab, but he did show me how to cut the material and it looks like he was using the same material I'm thinking of using.
Excellent how to video!
Really appreciate the great camera shots and voice over explanation - way better than guys trying to talk while they work and using terrible audio.
Thanks
Did this last year in my bathroom. Used my rigid cordless skill saw on every cut. Went faster and super clean cuts.
What type of blade did you use please?
@@latinhorse75 They make blades that are specific to laminate, vinyl, plywood. Or you can just take a normal finish blade and reverse it to cut laminates and siding.
thank you for not using the same length starters every other time. I hate when people do that and you have a consistent line all the way across the floor. Good times bro
Haha I did that with hard wood and didn’t notice till I was done 😂 which is exactly why I’m here now!
I’m probably not going to try to install flooring but I like how you explain everything, it was fun to watch and the kept my attention. Good job!
Thanks very much, that’s a very cool video. So I’m wondering if it is advisable or not to add a subfloor (foam or rubber for example) prior to installing plastic or wood laminate over tile? In your build, you don’t use it, but I want to install a laminated floor over the whole basement which is currently tiled. What the right/best thing to do?
For underlayment with vinyl flooring you need to follow the manufacturers specifications. Many vinyl floorings have the padding/underlayment already on the bottom of the pieces so you wont need it. Using underlayment when the manufacturer says not to can void your warranty,
Fantastic job doing the video, no BS, just fast quick job explaining the job at hand!! 1000 up votes!
This is the 1st video that included real issues doing flooring, moving, measuring cutting having power tools no joke. Good stuff
Thanks for your video on LVP. I did our small bathroom. No surprises as you showed just about all contingencies. Thank you.
Very professional video. You focused on the task at hand, not on you. Your audio delivery was as clean and concise as the work performed. Well done!
Gonna try to tackle the guest bedrooms this year, hopefully it goes smoothly!
Nice work! Looks really nice! Appreciate the video :)
I just saved thousands of dollars by learning to do this myself, thank GOD for you!!!!
Looks so easy. Nothing can go wrong if I do it!
Excellent instructions-easy to listen to and follow. Picked up some good tips from you.
And, behind my toilets is where I haven't painted!
Wow, the process leading up to the finished product were top-notch! Kudos for including the difficulties you experienced during your first cuts with the planks.
You don't pull baseboards, first?
Thank you 🙏 after you watching your vid I feel inspired to do my whole house, I’ve been watching many of these vids but yours seems to have clicked for me.
Thank you for showing us mistakes also made to avoid .
Only a beginner would make so many mistakes. lol
I liked how he messes up and shows us how he dealt with it. Though, I don’t have the tools he has, so I hope the other commenters are right about how it’s easier than the video shows.
Can relate to the over analyzing. Good idea sorting out the designs into groups to rotate them. Also liked how you spaced it off the wall. Want to do this in my son's bedroom.
Thanks.
I've looked at loads of DIY videos on everything an old lady can do (most everything) and buddy, I think you may be the best:) I actually Subscribed to your channel! Thankyou
Hello nice video. Very clear and without bothering music. Thanks! From Adrogué BsAs Argentina for the rest of the world.
Just did my laminate flooring yesterday. Would recommend to people to try it yourself but have the tools and plan ahead. Especially which side to start from based on the layout of the room, we struggled for a while under a french door which was the last piece.
How does it stick on the floor ?
Well done sir! Remember this power tool is part of the project! Makes your job petty easy and make you feel good 👍!! Thanks for the tip..
You make this look super easy! Thanks for this !! Gives me hope I can do it!!
Haha you’ve talked me right out of doing this myself.

I thought that this would be easy for me to do, I'm tired of my floors looking out of date and my husband doesn't have time to help me or do it because of his job.😔
but he did a great job. 😊
@@babygal1972 it is easy but with thinner ones. There are easier tutorials
Oh wow! I hit the jackpot with this video! I'm just putting in my flooring this morning in one of the guest rooms and there are some good tips I didn't know when I did the master bedroom! ( I had to call professionals for assistance lol) Thanks a lot!
Watched this video three times and installed the floor once! Right on FTBT!
I kid you not; watching this video made my day.
Greatly appreciate the upload.
Great video, thanks for sharing that. You made my weekend project alot easier.
Great video. But not for beginners. This has just made me want to pay someone to do it for me!
Absolutely
Real LydiaB you can pay me to do it hah
I’m 23 and don’t do much handywork that I don’t learn off of TH-cam videos. Yet my fiancée and I were able to lay vinyl flooring over our entire living room and hallway in just a few hours. The things that slow you down the most are pulling the baseboards and the learning curve of the first few rows. My fiancée and I were not satisfied unless every single piece was perfect and without any visible rubber in the creases of the flooring. But once we laid 10 or so down, we got the hang of it and it took about 20 seconds per board. The guy in this video makes it a little too difficult. Firstly, you can stack it right up against the wall on 2 sides of the room, but then allow a half inch of spacing on the two other sides (the top and right corner. Or you can tape spacers on the wall like he does, if you prefer that. And you don’t have to do any of that mapping or modeling crap. I just laid all the boards and cut the last row to fit.
It was really pretty easy. Even for two young people that have very little experience in housework.
I used this product in both a half bath and then our living room. There is a learning curve but this is a relatively easy product to work with! I had our 120sqft living room done in one day.
