It's tricky to not make a mess. We usually just tape areas off. Clean it up with water before it gets too dry. Try a paint brush to spread it. Maybe I will make a vid in the future. Thanks for watching!
These non click planks are more durable too,as opposed to click floors.When water or pet spills get between click floors,they’ll start to swell at seam points.This non click won’t swell,unless its totally submerged,do to hot water tanking blowing. I love these non clicks in commercial grade. Cheers!!
When I did our bathroom a few weeks ago... learned real quick not to step in the glue. 🤣 I was stuck and legit had to jump out of my shoes into the hallway. 🤣🤣
I honestly don't really remember what the brand was. It may be in the comments in this video or the other one you commented on. It's like 1/8" thick. There are tons of options out there, just don't go too cheap
@@BrentDarlington I’m definitely not trying to be cheap but is it completely necessary to glue down over the 1/4” underlay or can it go over osb considering it’s been prepped, sealed and primed? Flooring companies tell not to use glue down period 🤷🏽. Lastly, would Loose Lay Vinyl be a good option considering it is 5mm 20ml? Thanks again
@@ocho27hd The manufacturer will specify what prep is needed for the install. I like loose lay but I usually glue it all down anyway. It may be fine over OSB without sanded plywood but you'd have to check the instructions first.
@@BrentDarlington awesome man…I’ve seen both of your videos at least a dozen times and I’m ready to pull the trigger on doing it. Thanks for your advice and time.
Thanks for the video. Are those underlayment on the concrete floor? If so, how did you secure the underlayment? Why did you apply glues directly on the floor without the underlayment?
The underlayment is over OSB. You can go directly onto concrete, you may just have to do some patching first. I have this video that shows more detail: th-cam.com/video/KKKpOpWfbCk/w-d-xo.html
What underpayment are you using? Looked like in your other bedroom video the sheets were pre-marked for where to nail, which leads me to believe it’s specific to flooring. Thanks!
1/4 birch premium underlayment. Yes, made for flooring. May have to go to a flooring store to get it. Sometimes I see it at big box stores but it is only 4' x 4'
Did you just cross your fingers that the walls were straight? I was halfway through two rooms doing this before realizing I’d be at a 20 degree angle by the time I reached the 4th room. Shit is a nightmare
That's why you try to centre it or just work off a wall or area that you think will be the most noticeable. I usually try to be straight with the kitchen or down a main hall way. Can't win if the walls are way out though
Go to a flooring store that sells it and buy their glue. You can sometimes get small tubs of it. The stuff at the big box store usually isn't very good

Dude I have laid a lot of flooring in my life and LVP is definitely not crap.. I been installing flooring every day of my life since 2000 and it’s what I put in my kitchen n bathroom.
Usually ready to lay in an hour. This glue had an open working time of 10 to 12 hours, I've used glue that was good for 24hrs. Put it down at the end of the day and lay in the morning
Great video. Detailed explanation. Thanks
You're welcome!
Do you have a video on laying down the sub floor and what I need to seal the joints
I do!

@@BrentDarlingtonthank you 😎
Thank you man for actually going through it
Nice tips and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great choice in wet areas like bathroom.
🙏🏽🥰: Thankyou so much this helped a lot …. Have an awesome day.
Glad it helped!
Do you perhaps have a video on how to apply the glue in tricky areas (under kitchen counter edges, etc).

I’ve never done an LVP, seems like it could be easier than a snap together laminate though.
It's a lot of work getting the plywood down but it's much easier to lay. Great on concrete, less prep just some patching if it's not in bad shape
It’s gravy train

Good job bro
How long did it take to the glue to be ready to put the floor
Depends on the temp, humidity, thickness you put it down but usually half hour to an hour
When I did our bathroom a few weeks ago... learned real quick not to step in the glue. 🤣 I was stuck and legit had to jump out of my shoes into the hallway. 🤣🤣
lol, I have stepped in the glue a few times. Once it dries you cant see it and forget. I've never had to jump out of my shoes though!

If I have a way to get in & out of the room with glue on the concrete, is it ok to start at one wall or the other?
Yes but you will still want a chalk line for the first row. Walls are never straight!

Ardex Feather Finish.

What glue u using
I think i used a roberts for this but Mapei eco 373 is what I normally use
How long is the tack time on that glue product
It will say on the bucket. All brands are a bit different
Can i have the name of the Glue you put in the floor plz?
I use Mapei 373 normally. I think I used a Roberts glue here but the floor may have a glue that they require for warranty
I did not see you applying the glue to the plywood or the OSB sheathing. There was one part where you did apply the glue
I don't understand. Glue the plywood to the osb? Or applying the floor glue?
Which flooring is that? How's it holding up?
It is Renaissance Vintage 9 Winterwood. Great stuff, holds up very well.
How to to make sure that first centre line is straight?
That's why you use a chalk line. If done right the chalk line is straight.

Go to a flooring store that sells it and buy their glue. You can sometimes get small tubs of it. The stuff at the big box store usually isn't very good
@@BrentDarlington ok mam thanks for the speedy response.
Luxury vinyl crap.
Is there something else you prefer?
