I've been watching a lot of videos on how to do this and your's is the BEST one I've seen! Thank you for the details, links to even more detailed vids and for NOT going so fast I would have to replay to catch everything!! I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on past videos I am sure will have a lot more very helpful information! Wishing you and your family a healthy and prosperous New Year! 👍👏❤️☺️
Thank you so much! Your comment and feedback really means a lot! Happy New Year to you and your Family as well! 🙏🏽😊🎉🥰

🚩So I see a lot of good intentions, but a lot of Misleading Mistakes. I I am a General Contractor and have been installing luxury vinyl snaplock for 7+years. Per manufacturer instructions, you need a quarter inch expansion around your walls yes, but also around everything else for instance like your toilet flanges, water lines etc. The planks expand and contrast with temperature fluctuations and all "tight cuts" will cause binding and unlocking of your flooring and also void manufacturers warranty. If your box says you need a expansion gap, that means everything, not just your wall. When installing luxury vinyl snaplock it's important to NEVER glue, screw, nail, etc. As it will once again cause a failure to expand and contrast, therefore causing binding and unlocking. Also as the flooring needs to expand and contrast heavy items like cabinetry should never be set on top, but gone around and finished with trim as once again they will cause binding and failure to expand and contrast. Believe it or not most of this information can be found right on the back of the box. These are manufacturer guidelines but as a rule of thumb you can tell yourself if you have to leave expansion along the wall a quarter inch, you need to leave a quarter inch around everything else and allow it to expand and contrast. I'm not saying you can't install the floor this way and walk away from it with it looking good... for now....I am definitely saying it was not installed properly and I would be very concerned about longevity. The only reason I made this comment is for the spread of the knowledge, I'm in no way trying to down anyone's work! Hope this was helpful!
Very good explanation! What about toilets? Should you remove and floor under them?
@@rockycaughron8755 Yes most definitely! Then make sure you leave a quarter inch around the toilet flange, Then clean the old seal off your flange and install a new wax seal.
Pretty sure he’s using spacers
I've never done this but I used to build with steel. You are exactly right. You have to have room for expansion and contraction. Same thing in concrete work. ❤❤🎉
My tile is saying once acclimated, you don't need a space
You just saved me a lot of money! I did the floors everywhere else but I couldn’t figure out the toilet area so I was gonna pay someone to do the bathroom. Thanks!
You made this process so simple and easy; hence, making me to conclude that this is the reason why not everybody is a handyman. Blessings!
I lost my father a couple years ago. It has been hard for me to do needed repairs because we did them together. I’m going to try this tomorrow. I’m going to try with leaving my vinyl roll flooring down and putting the planks on top. Your videos are wonderful and helps to refresh my memory of watching my father. I’m afraid of that toilet but I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the videos
Thank you for this, one of the clearest explanations I’ve seen, very well done and easy to follow!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse Agreed, you're the best ! I'm hoping you might be able to give me an answer to my question above. Thank You !
THANK YOU for your ever so simply explanation of how to install vinyl planking. I will be doing my entire home, 1000 sq ft. and particularly like that stop-block preventing the flooring from moving when you do not have an entirely empty home and need to move furniture. You have giving me an extra layer of confidence that I can do this. Had not seen those separators before, makes all the sense, again confidence booster. WOOHOO! Sorry that I did not catch your name! Thanks! :)
I’m so glad i could be of help! I wish you the best on your project! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. My name is Genesis, but I go by Jay 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Very impressive. You have a great method of explaining at all levels.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 🙏🏽😊 have a great weekend!
I agree, he did a great job explaining the steps
I rarely ever comment, but wanted to say pretty much everything that Robin did (in the pinned comment)! I'm scared of pulling the trigger on my DIY flooring so I've watched a ton of these kinds of videos. I've never found one more helpful and my confidence and eagerness to try it myself just went way up! Thank you Fix This House!
Thank you so much for your his amazing comment! Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
looks great, will be doing our bathroom floor soon . Thanks for the video.
It looks really nice. You solved some problems that would have taken me forever to figure out. thanks for sharing
He did a great job installing it. Vinyl is a good product if installed correctly.
Great job. Very straightforward explanation. Thank you. Have laid tile flooring in the past but this is much easier.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much!
Very useful information thank you! I plan I remodeling both my bathrooms.
Your video is the best one I’ve seen so far. Very clear explaination thank you !
REALLY enjoy your videos. Super helpful, you describe the process so well and you make a lot of us DIYers feel much more confident in ourselves!
An oscillating tool would do you alot of good. They make quick work notches, doorways, and vents.
Second time watching this one! About to do my bathroom and this is so helpful!
You are the best teacher in you tube: it's dummy proof.
Good job on verbalizing as you go, I learned!...Thank you for the effort.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for watching! 😊👍🏽
Very good presentation! Great tips for installing flooring! Thank you!
Thank you for the recommendations and showing us your technique!
Lots of very good tips and techniques in this video. You obviously know what you're doing!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
You made this look easy. Thanks for explaining everything you were doing.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Nice explanation, thanks for going into depth for the bathroom especially the toilet.
I'm about to do this same job in my bathroom, this is the best explanation I have seen so far on how to do it. Thanks!
But it's wrong.
I actually just came across this video accidentally and I'm so happy I did because my bathroom floor has been left unfinished for way too long now, it drives me insane every single day but your explanation and how you showed everything very clearly and in simple terms has me feeling confident that I can do this myself (at least decently enough to last until I can afford to have someome do a better job 🤣). I'm a single mom with 2 young kids and work full time so I don't have a ton of time to mess around learning this kinda stuff in depth but this definitely seems doable! Thank you so much for all this great info, I'm super excited to not hate my bathroom!!
I’m so sorry about the situation of your bathroom, I’m glad I could be of help. I definitely know you will be able to do this yourself! If you ever need any advice or tips or maybe run into a problem just email me and I’ll be able to help you out! 🙏🏽😊 fixthishouse1@yahoo.com
@@FixThisHouse... same here..thank you!
Best and easiest installation video on vinyl plank flooring
Tip: Pop out the pins in the hinges and remove your bathroom door. Will prevent accidental damage and will give you more room to work. IMO
Thank you for the tip! 🙏🏽😊
Excellent video!! Step by Step instructions! Just what is needed for a beginner DIY'er like me
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Your installation and tear up skill is rookie at best
Like the chalk method around the floor register!!
Thanks for explaining as you go,very informative. Trying to make a dance floor, and now I have few ideas . Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏽
this is the best video that ive seen for the plank floors ! thank you i learned some new tricks.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
You made it look easy. I like the tips on how to fix the cracks
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Great video. Installed same floors. Working on repainting then new trim all around. Looksgood
Thank you 🙏🏽
That tile looks like a beast to get up.
Thank you so much for this video, you sure explain everything in a very easy to understand step by step method. 😁
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful, great job! Thank you.
Thank you so much, great video . I will do it in my bathroom.
Just saw the video ,great job guy.wished you lived next door to my house!!
I’d be more than happy to help you out anytime if I lived close by 👍🏽🙏🏽😊💯
Love You Man
Almighty God bless you plentiful
Thanks for making such wonderful Videos
Man this was helpful as I’m remodeling my first house I did get a laugh though when you said make sure have ppe on and then you were doing it in your socks at a point
Is a bead of 100% silicone enough to protect the transition of solid core LVP and barrier-free shower floor tile? If yes, great. If no, please suggest what may be used instead of silicone, or whether to scrap the idea of using LVP altogether. Thank you.
This is helpful and makes me feel like I could do this on my own
I’m glad I could be of help! 😊🙏🏽
Great job and explain clearly very helpful I will try
What a great video! We will be doing this after Christmas is over!
Thank you so much! Have a good thanksgiving! 🦃😊
I used the same flooring. Wonderful stuff.
👊🏽😎👍🏽! I agree!
Very good video, well explained. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you. I am just about to purchase and install VP flooring. I have been wondering what to do when I get to the toilet. Your video answered my question perfectly.
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Hey man, I love your videos and I watched this whole thing. I have some left over vinyl planks and I want to add them to my bathroom as well. Do you think having a shower + plank vinyl is going to be a problem? I currently have laminate flooring installed. It's a small guest bathroom
Great tutorial video! Quick question, I saw you removed the old tile and 1/4” plywood layer and you’re installing the vinyl planks on top of the subfloor. But here 6:21 when you cut out the vinyl plank to have it fit underneath the door frame, I notice you now have a space gap between the vinyl plank the button of the door frame trim. Since you can’t really put quarter round here to hide that gap since it’s a door frame, what can you do to hide it?
Excellent video thanks for sharing 👍
thats it... im going to learn how to do this..because these are valuable tools to know
That is a great explanation. Thank you.
Awesome video! I did have a quick question. We bought a new house that has laminate flooring in the bathrooms. We were told that if we wanted to add vinyl plank wood flooring we could literally lay it right on top of the laminate without having to tear that out. Is that true?
Gratifying for me to watch this start to finish....
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much much!
Great final product!
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Just amazing!!!👏🏾
Wow you made this job look really easy I’m in the stage of were bathroom needs renovating but everybody that I’m asking are quoting at least 10k for a small bathroom but now I’m more thing of just replacing the bath and put in a new shower and sink but need to replace the floor aswell I’m in the uk and don’t have the flange in the floor or the vent in floor so I’m finking going to go to the b&q and see how much it’s going to cost me for the flooring and new bath and sink great work on your video
Wow you made that look easy thanks 👏🏿
Great video! Chaulk lines is all I use
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Great job 👍🏽
Excellent video. Precise instructions. You made it look simple. But believe me, it’s not as simple as it looks.
2 rules…1-measure twice, cut once.
2-go slow…do not rush. And it will pay off.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Perfect job
Very informative, thank you!
What a great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you!
Wow nice I would recommend real tile I don’t know why the owner chose to hide it wow lot of work thanks 🙏
Thank you,well explained video,I can’t ask for more.

Looks great man. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏🏽! Please share if you can 👍🏽😊
Best tips I have seen. Thanks
Is there an advantage to placing silicone at base of baseboards similar to your caulking around base of toilet to help prevent water from getting under vinyl flooring ?
Thanks for this video! I'll be carrying the flooring from the hall into the bathroom soon. Love the template idea!
Been replacing our flooring and using your vids for reference. Concise and straight to the points.
Wouldn't it be easier to install baseboards before the toilet in the way?
Thank you! Most definitely! The less interference the better, It was a little hard to run that piece of baseboard behind the toilet and the sink interference 😅
I agree. Good video
Chalk method is a nice trick! Great video
Thank you! I’m glad you found that helpful 🙏🏽😊
Looks great!
Hi very cool . Question if your just doing the bathroom witch way should you lay the plank flooring..carpet is in the doorway
Did you have to account for an out of square room? Also was the floor level?
This is good 👍🏼 thanks buddy
Awesome video, Thanks
Beautiful job. 👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Great job 👍👌,is this vinyl floor installation needs glue whatsoever ? Thanks
Hook blades and little heat work the best for cut outs
Cool video man next time you can save some time using your saw in the beginning to cut the whole floor at once and pull it all up together.
Excellent video and very well explained !! 👍🏼👌
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks Dude 👍
thanks for the video. This means there's no need to put underlay first (before installing Vinly Plank Flooring)?
Have you had any issues with that rubber flange gasket instead of wax?
So do you silicone around the hole to prevent water intrusion from tub splash or wax ring leak? I know it’s waterproof but once water goes under, it’s gonna mold right?
Great video, I learned something new
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Thank you it’s helpful
