I bought Shaw flooring like this he's installing. It was a bad flooring because it didn't interlock. So pieces started coming apart everywhere. Shaw sent a flooring expert out who said it was installed wrong. I was out $10,000
@@jglakecity Shaw sent THEIR flooring inspector! You might want to dig deeper! I'm not saying it was or wasn't the installer, but the manufacturer always tries to plame the installer! Good luck!
@@leroyjenkins7968 it was a combination in my opinion. Poor quality flooring made by Shaw and a handyman who took on a job to big and complex for his skill set.
Listen people not to bash on this installer, but if you read instructions this guy should have left 1/4 gap from wall to allow expansion. Other way he could have done is cut into baseboards and hide flooring with proper gaping from wall. The way I do it per instructions is I remove all base boards and leave the proper gape with is usually 1/4 to 3/8 spacing and then install trim after new floor is installed. The person before me installed laminate floor and during summer my floor expanded and started bowing up due to now expansion gap between wall and floor. I see this mistake so common with no gap. These people will have issues when humidity during summer will expand the floor. Have fun walking on that.
What kind of knife/ planks are theese? Bc all the stuff we get you have to press hard asf for it to snap for the scores clean, looks like this shit is butter
Probably a flip, or nobody cares anymore lol those floors will be replaces in 3-5 years when they get tired of the look, working on older houses 40-60s they did make stuff way better but a bitch to take off or break! damn boomer
It's LVP no need for expansion also no need to remove baseboard , just add shoe mold or quarter round also no underlayment because it's lvp and it's floated on top on existing flooring
@@SanAntonioNewHomesForSale interesting, I installed LVP in my house and the manufacturer called for an expansion gap. Yes, of course you can do 1/4 round but it looks terrible. I also still think everyone should do under layment, way quieter.
I spent all day looking for wood grain laminate flooring. Why does it all look so cheap? I think I would have kept the tile in this case, unless you wanted to change from the beiges to the greys.
So we got tile under a floating floor. Thus is suppose to be a low maintenance floor not a floor the will need pulled up when the tile starts releasing or one gets shattered when something heavy hits the vinyl
Nice and tight so that way it comes apart as soon as it gets warm or cold? should have undercut the round molding and put it away from the base and added quarter round or take the base off and reinstall when you're done
No room for expansion and contraction of the planks. You’re supposed to have a 1/4” gap between the wall or existing baseboard. Then you add you shoe molding or 1/4 round trim. Not undercutting the trim on that threshold hold is very much amateur/hack move.
Plus the height difference on the ceramic tile I'm sure is not perfect there will be deflection when you walk on it it'll come apart I would have primed the tile and feather finished it flat
Low budget for sure. But my peeve here is the installer is just pulling the planks from the case. The light color next to a darker piece is soo annoying! I put them against the wall where it may be a couch or furniture and way less noticeable like this
@Anthony O yeah we usually open all the boxes and mix when it's a pattern that really sticks out. Sometimes you have no choice though unless the customer wants to pay for extra material and labor.
Wrong because now there is no expansion gap 😂 two because I see that gap that looks white in the round corner that camouflages with the baseboard so you can’t tell off the video but iykyk

No under padding? 😳 Op I sure hope you don't have ppl living downstairs. Not to mention, its just not comfortable for you to walk on. With the clattering clap clap hollow sounds and unevenness. You don't want to pay for the extra lining/padding? Well, at least lay on a few layers of Bounty Paper Towels! Do it properly, people. It can raise the value of your home. At the very least, it wouldn't depreciate the value.
That's gonna buckle, shrink, expand, and fall apart. Need a 1/4 inch space between walls and flooring. When it does buckle and shrink that's all wasted product. Guys, if you're going to do this gain some knowledge first. Dont waste your time or your customers time and money. Do it right the first time. Otherwise I will be around to collect doing it right when they call me up.
I’ve done vinyl plank over tile before. With no underpad you’ll always hear tapping in certain spots when you walk.
depends on the tile....you get what you pay for... also, some already have pad on the back
I've seen a new home build on slab, it had a low spot and with the padding it still made that tap noise. Ha. They had to redo it
Even if the plank comes with an underlayment on the backside?
@@anthonyo4038 than the flooring guy didn't do his job and fill in any low spots
Flooring is the shit!!! I made a killing last year and during the freeze here in Texas over 215k one of my best years
Good example on what not to do.

The process is fine, but the outcome is pretty awful. Remove the baseboard!
Its fine, he will just do a terrible caulk job or slap some quarter round on it.
Amen

These are going into slum rentals. It’s not that serious
And didn’t fill in grouting on tile all those grout lines will show over new rubber flooring
I am sorry bud but you should have removed the baseboards before installing.
If the customer wanted that
dude,it's an old home, you'll cause more harm than good...just place shoe molding
@@daleon96 explain?
Excelente trabajo. Pero muy pesado . Felicidades y Bendiciones.
No wall gap for expansion, no base board removal, and no underpad? 😅 damn

@@SanAntonioNewHomesForSalethis is the landlord special, bare minimum
The color dismatch makes me freak out...
And why is there no isolation underneath
Most vinyl plank flooring come with the padding and moister barrier on the back side of each plank.
Built in pad/self leveler
It's disappointing, I would never occupy someone who installs flats like this.
where the expansion gap?
Must be in the center of the floor. 😆
@@getsomemtb7427 😂
These come pre expanded for your convenience ... Don't you know lol

Your work is amazing
Hope that tile is PERFECT. A high corner or side can do damage over time! But hey, it’s not my money
Thank you for sharing.

Why didn’t you take the baseboard off?
I was thinking the same thing
I he will add the strip later(don’t know what they are called)
@@bariatasudan oh you mean quarterround?
@@odre6860 there you go! Yes.
@@odre6860 I use shoe molding, 1/4 round is ugly....
Could also use a tape measure
Applied mathematics is always fascinating.
That plank looks like it's from a different batch. Color looks slightly off.
Theres usually about 7 different shades per flooring applied. That's why you should separate them before you start.
U should have cover the grout lines with some feather finish to avoid futures problems.
😊
feather finish on tile would just rack.. either way you don't need it
This should be named how not to do flooring
Please tell me you ardexed the grout joints to make that tile floor smooth and level.
A professional job is that you don't see the laminate lines on the baseboards. Mmm
Grout lines from tile will transfer over new rubber flooring
Nice and tight so that way it comes apart as soon as it gets warm or cold? should have undercut the round molding and put it away from the base and added quarter round or take the base off and reinstall when you're done
No spacers?
That last strip is not the same color as the others.
It's the same pattern
What floor u use

youre supposed to leave quarter inch gaps for Expansion... Warranty void... HOLD FINAL PAYMENT
That mismatched plank is killing me.
Yeah it sure was a shade or two darker
If it’s done throughout the flooring, it will look very good.
Круто) только со цветом не угадал
What did he cut the long section with? His teeth? It's appalling
Nice moisture proof underlay
lol..dude he's on tile....no need for moisture barrier...can tell you have no experience
@@daleon96 so you will get no moisture between tile and laminate? Please go learn from proper people you cowboy.

Large enough job and you will have no choice but to mix them or end up with a room of all the colors you don't like.
@@zack6892 Yeah, and don't ever put the same pattern plank right next to it or same row. I've seen that too
@Anthony O yeah we usually open all the boxes and mix when it's a pattern that really sticks out. Sometimes you have no choice though unless the customer wants to pay for extra material and labor.
Why not just keep or fix/ ReGrout the tile .. Lil weird to me to go with a Floating floor over top of tile without getting it up first ..
@One exactly, people don't understand, everything costs MONEY... people have budgets
On a positive… good scribing though..😂😂😂😊😊 I didn’t see the tile floor you guys pointed out😊😊
What knife is he using? Do you have a link? Thank you!
How do you do this around the base of a toilet though
Come on put new base down on the floor.
R U referencing base board or subfloor?
No expansion spaces?

No expansion space?!
Yo over tile! No moisture barrier? This is going to ruin the short joints. Plus, there is no expansion gap.
the name of the parquet and where you can buy it from? Please
What about the pencil marks aswell ?
Tbh setting up the cheater board takes longer than just flipping the tile over and marking the cuts
This is so amazing.God bless.

Silk patch grout lines. Epic failure

3/16
He’s got none lol

Depends what type of flooring is installed. Most of laminate flooring can be I stalled of most flooring just not carpet.

What a waste! The tile is and looks waaay better that that cheap vinyl
Junk flooring over good tiles. All he needed to do is regrout the tile
No need to glue it down, right?
On top of tile???? Wtf!
I wish he spoke an explain how he does it
Be easier if uder cut the base boards.
I know you know you supposed to tuck that shit under that base where moldings not gonna hide gap
Obviously ran out of the other shade, start using the darker one.... ffs.
Мне бы в сарае стыдно было так делать....
Mistake 1 should of took the tile off 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Needs underlay and an expansion gap of 5 mm min
Baseboards are on. Hes got the gap. Those planks have underlay on them already amd they recomend not using a 2nd.

No floor prep, no underlay. When the box says "optional" its like your wife saying bro .
