I absolutely love the message at the end of this . I'm a born again Christian and really love your boldness. Also I'm installing LifeProof in the next few days and really love I come across this video . Prayers for you and your family 🙏.
TY! I just purchased this same flooring for DIY. It looks just as great as I imagined! Thank you also for your witness and profession as a follower of Jesus. Amen Brother! Be blessed!
Great job! I did my bathroom with the Shadow Hickory which turned out incredible, but changed my mind to do something lighter for the entire place. I'm still in a quandary over two color choices to do the remainder of my home. My plan is to install under the stove and fridge? Did you do the same? BTW, I agree that scoring and snapping this product is not so "cut and dry". If you do, you need to score it several times, even with a fresh blade. Thanks for sharing.
Good video...was hesitant about DYI. Now I’m going to try in a laundry room 1st...test run. And for the record, the Lord is relevant in our life. Some don’t realize it till later in life. Keep up the good work, in both areas. 🙏
@@resurrectionauto670 Not really.. if someone wants an updated look in the future, they don't have that option now. Quarter round for the life of those floors..
Just installed lifeproof in my home.. different color.pattern, but same product. If you lightly tap the edge away from its seam on the stort side.. tap in the long side first, then come back and hit the short side with your rubber mallet to push those edges together you can avoid those issues where the short side has a seam that can be felt with by running your finger over it, instead you will get a smooth seam every time. Decent product but it can be scratched so get those sliders pads on your stools, chairs and tables :), and while you can score and snap with a razor, I personally prefer table say for ripping and just running my oscillating tool over a marked line for short side cuts.
Just returned our entire purchase after installing just two boxes. My brother and I did his entire 2nd floor of his split level with another manufacturer. He chose Home Depot LifeProof because the price was great and they had the grey tone he WS looking for. The tiles did not click in well and the tabs kept breaking off. We followed the instructions to the letter and the floor was level. It also appears that the product would scratch easily. Hope you have better luck than we did. ☺️
@@jbyrd8282 He talked to a flooring guy and he made a recommendation but I don't know what brand it is. I will find out when it comes in and will update you as soon as I know.
We bought that originally because we were also going back and forth between the two but ended up choosing fresh oak. The essential oak is a shade darker with more red tones. The easy oak just looks fresher, imo.
Ok not trying to be "that guy", but you shouldn't have done quarter round. If you remove the baseboard trim, you can use a spacer against the wall and then cover the gap with the trim. It looks much cleaner. Also it's much easier to score and snap this stuff than to cut it, and you won't risk getting fiberglass everywhere or exposing harmful dust and debris. Glad you're doing it yourself though.
Great question. The wood flooring was nailed down to the subfloor. It would have been a ton of work to remove it and remove the associated nails. Probably twice as much work.
I’m thinking of using the same fresh oak in our kitchen. Has it still held up? PS- I’m a Christian as well. Glad you are sharing that info with people.
As you know the devil is usually in the details. Do you know how thick the wear layer is on this product? Looked at Home Depot and it is not listed on the boxes. I understand from people in the business that that is VERY important for a long lasting scratch resistant product. It seems that 5mils is sort of on the low end while 20mils is usually considered commercial grade. I've been told to get as close to 20mils as your budget allows.
Not supposed to knock it in like that it should just slide together if installed correctly. You break the lock when u do it that way. Should only knock it when u absolutely need to
@@resurrectionauto670 My apologies! When you said "wood" I assumed it was solid but if veneer or engineered hardwood being worn out makes sense to cover it.

Thinking about putting this in our cabin and I was wondering how it's held up.
Beautiful! This color is our choice to be installed by us soon! Thank you for your Christian witnessing as well! God Bless!

You bet. Glad to help!
Installed with spacers around the baseboards?? How did that seem like a good idea?
Good question. It is a floating floor. The corner round covers the gap at the base board. Make sense?

Osvaldo Padilla which product did your brother chose and is he happy with them?

JByrd This is a very good product if installed correctly. th-cam.com/video/13og0fczW-I/w-d-xo.html

Nice look! Did you look at the Essential Oak color? I am debating back and forth between the two colors.

Is this the 6, 12, or 22mil version?
Hello my brother in Christ. I just want to say thank you for sharing your faith in this video and for inviting others to know the Lord.
Thanks for the comment!
How is the floor holding up ?
Pamela Bell Great question. Unfortunately I've since moved so I'm not sure. It was pretty durable flooring though.
The video is very helpful, thank you. Is this product easier to install than regular laminate?
Elsi. It's fairly easy to install for flooring.
Thank you!
Praise the lord my brother
You can use a razor,just score and snap it off.
This +1
yes, I've seen people do it
How’s it holding up? Heard it scratches really easily
We've been really pleased so far. 2 months...
God bless you too. Thank you for your video. Do you happen to remember if this flooring is scratch/dent proof and if it is phalates/formaldehyde free?
I have found it to be really durable. It can be scratched, but not easily

Love your video and your message of Gods love! New sub!!
Thank you!
Good video, I loved the end.
How has it held up? Any lifting or scratches?
Good question. We moved shortly after installing so I'm not sure.
Hey brother how has your life poof floor held up over the years . Bless you in Jesus name
Just curious... why cover the wood flooring?
Great question. The wood flooring was nailed down to the subfloor. It would have been a ton of work to remove it and remove the associated nails. Probably twice as much work.
@@resurrectionauto670 Thanks for the reply. I guess I was curious as to why not just refinish the existing floors? Homeowners set on new flooring?
Thinking of buying for my house. 1350sq ft. Question: how well do you think this product would hold up with indoor dogs? Great video by the way. 👍🏼
Good question. It's seems very durable. I think it would hold up better than any other floor at this price point.
Resurrection Auto - thank you.
We're considering putting in this floor as well. How are you liking it! Also love that you are telling people about Jesus!
Great flooring. We were really pleased
Can you use a miter saw to cut?
I’m thinking of using the same fresh oak in our kitchen. Has it still held up?
PS- I’m a Christian as well. Glad you are sharing that info with people.
We've moved since I install it so I'm not quiet sure.

Great question Mark. I do not remember and I have since moved from the property.
I believe it ranges from 10 to 15 depending on the type you get.
Looks fantasic!!!! Great job!!!
God bless you, brother!
2doodledo Thanks for that comment!
You could kept the old flooring by simple using strip and wax and then buff.
Praise Jesus my brother! Thanks for sharing!
God Bless. Thanks for helping me to make an informed decision. My better half thanks you as well.
You're welcome Chris. Best of luck with your install.
How much for lifeproof
google it LMAO
What's the square foot price on this floor?
Steve Allen
About $3 per foot for product, no installation.
Not supposed to knock it in like that it should just slide together if installed correctly. You break the lock when u do it that way. Should only knock it when u absolutely need to
What’s the tool name you said at min 3:08
Tapping block
God bless.
God Bless
Amen
Good video about your install, but a crying shame to cover that real solid wood oak plank flooring with fake wood vinyl!!!
Thanks for the comment. It was on a veneer so it couldn't be restored
@@resurrectionauto670 My apologies! When you said "wood" I assumed it was solid but if veneer or engineered hardwood being worn out makes sense to cover it.
By the way I think it came out good
Not sure the name of the tool. It is sold in the flooring section at Home Depot. You can buy it separately or in a larger installation kit.
Necore much better from Floordecor
That video was cool until you brought up the whole religion stuff... thumb down.
Don't force your make believe friend on others.
God bless you. Even if you don't believe in Him, He knows and loves you.
very grim ending
Good video until the religion was brought in. Completely unnecessary.
Kerry Collier you have no idea how necessary is to share the word of God you need God in your life that’s for sure God bless you and your family
@@hugogodinez772 we don't believe I'm fairy tales. My cat blesses you. Same thing.
