Great video man its simple but you was thorough with exactly what needed to be said without going to in-depth like a lot of these TH-camrs veer off and lose us ADHD short attention span folks
Another awesome diy by Builds by Maz! I’m typically not an LVP fan, but the Flooret product has changed my mind would its hardwood textured finish. Also, good choice with Nakan color, too! Awesome flooring upgrade 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The biggest con to installing Flooret is the 30° insert length wise. Man a pain when working in an old house and trying to not remove all the closet door trim! Beyond that, we've had ours in for 5 years and it hardly looks used after lots of kids and golden doodle abuse.
Very thorough and easy to follow! Thanks much for this very helpful video! I'm about to embark on this journey and needed some tips, especially about preparing the subfloor and choosing moldings.
This was a great video and lots of easy to follow instructions. I'll be watching for additional videos in the near future. I've never liked safety inspectors until this video.
I’m doing my laundry room myself, 13x9. First day, almost all day working and I could get half done. Not as easy as it looks, the first ones were a struggle, it was an intense workout for sure and my body feels it.
I think I know what you're asking about. Flooret makes a round nosing piece which attaches to regular planks, and serves as a transition into the stairway. I had to use one of these and will be posting a future video about it, but it will be a while before I get to it.
I was specifically looking for someone. To show whether to lay floor under kitchen appliances or not and how to side them out if so. You covered this well although I still wonder putting it under the oven/fridge is necessary. Any particular reason why you opted to do it there but skipped the dishwasher? Could you have skipped them all to save time and flooring cost?
The main reason I did that is because there are gaps between the edge of the fridge/oven and the counter, so you can see the flooring on the sides. But, if you have tight-fitting appliances (like I did with the dishwasher), you can certainly skip these areas.
Flooret instructions mention that all plywood seams, construction joints, etc, need to be filled. I noticed you didn't do that... is it totally necessary? We're getting ready to lay the Signature Flooret lvp upstairs on a plywood subfloor. Instructions also say, "It is required to use vapor barrier with Modin Rigid LVP Flooring." Is this also necessary for an upstairs plywood subfloor?
I would not worry about filling your plywood subfloor seams, unless there are any unnaturally large gaps. As a matter of fact, the small gaps between them actually allow for expansion/contraction with temperature changes. You can skip the vapor barrier as well, you really only need that on top of concrete.
The flooring can expand with temperature changes- spacers are absolutely necessary to give a little room for expansion!! Otherwise there is a chance that the floor will buckle and/or come apart.
Nope! The LVP can still support heavy furniture and still expand/and contract. The only think you want to avoid is adding furniture that is then fixed in place to the wall.
@@justinjahn8341 You should do cabinets first, since that actually will impede the expansion of the floating floor if they went on top. Not to mention you don't want to be paying for extra flooring that will get permanently covered up
Yes the flooring is easy to install a sixth grader can install it but a flooring company will charge you an arm and leg you would have to take out a second mortgage on your house
Loving that color!! It’s incredible what new floors do to a space!! 🎉
This has been a huge help! Thank you. Please make more videos like this! Your recommendations are huge
Wow looks so much better with the hardwood!!!
Looks great! I really like watching your videos because they are so thorough and descriptive, step-by-step. Keep it up!
that looks so much better. Heading over to Flooret right now!
Foundation repairs ruined my floor. These instructions are great to do it myself. This product looks easy to install for a beginner.
Excellent work as always Big Maz!
The floor looks amazing. Great quality of ithe nstallation.
End result looks terrific! Will definitely be checking out Flooret for my upcoming house renovations - thanks for the rec :)
This looks great! Really appreciate the step by step instructions. Time to update the nasty cork floors in my house!
Never realized LVP could look so good! Great job with everything
Great video man its simple but you was thorough with exactly what needed to be said without going to in-depth like a lot of these TH-camrs veer off and lose us ADHD short attention span folks
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed.
The instructions are so easy to follow and thorough. Very encouraging for a beginner DIY project! Look forward to your next project!
It looks sooo good
Awesome! This turned out so great🎉
Thank you!
Wow I did not realize LVP was so simple to install! Ordering my samples from Flooret now!
Woohoo! Goodbye stinky carpet hellooooo new hardwood!
Another awesome diy by Builds by Maz! I’m typically not an LVP fan, but the Flooret product has changed my mind would its hardwood textured finish. Also, good choice with Nakan color, too! Awesome flooring upgrade 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The new floors look incredible!! Will definitely be checking out Flooret for our next project!
Just the video I need!!! A knife to cut the LVP is so less intimidating than a big old cutter!!!
It really is! Glad this helped you out.
Thanks again for the instructional video. I watched it again and got more out of it than the first time. Job well done, sir!
You are very welcome - glad it was helpful!
Beautiful floor and what a wonderful transformation! Great instructions and great product !
I HIGHLY recommend renting (or buying if you have a large project) a flooring cutter. Really makes things so much easier!
I definitely could have used one!

This LVP instillation looks very beginner friendly. Definitely going to be looking into more Flooret products!
Very thorough and easy to follow! Thanks much for this very helpful video! I'm about to embark on this journey and needed some tips, especially about preparing the subfloor and choosing moldings.
Glad I could help! Best of luck with your project.

Glad to hear it!
Great video! This has given me the push to start doing my floors myself. Can’t wait to get my samples.
So glad to hear it! Best of luck with your project

Starting is the slowest part, but you'll keep getting faster!
LMAO. Don't install first row and use some scraps click in and screw so your floors stop coming apart when you are trying to install another one. ❤
Looks awesome! I was curoius how you would handle the rounded wall corners with the base boards. Great idea!
Thank you!
Looks great. How would you do the transition for a top of a stair landing nose? If I’m making sense.
I think I know what you're asking about. Flooret makes a round nosing piece which attaches to regular planks, and serves as a transition into the stairway. I had to use one of these and will be posting a future video about it, but it will be a while before I get to it.

What did u do around the cabinets in the kitchen? Some type of baseboard?
Yes I actually used MDF baseboard that I cut in half to create the smaller strips.
Straight to the chase
Really helpful video.
Great video!

@@buildsbymaz thank you so much!
Iv watched like 10 videos on this and this is the only one that mentions spacers. What are they for?
The flooring can expand with temperature changes- spacers are absolutely necessary to give a little room for expansion!! Otherwise there is a chance that the floor will buckle and/or come apart.
@@buildsbymaz Thats what I figured but Why is all the BIG NAME home improvment channels not mentioning this at all.
@@bonster101 I'm surprised they don't! Using spacers is a pretty vital step.
Thanks a lot
Nice job!
Thank you 😮
You're welcome!
Don’t you not want to put the fridge on the floor? Isn’t that stopping it from expanding and contracting
Nope! The LVP can still support heavy furniture and still expand/and contract. The only think you want to avoid is adding furniture that is then fixed in place to the wall.
@@buildsbymaz Thanks for the info. Was just about to start my ground level remodel and didn’t know if I should put cabinets in first or the floor
@@justinjahn8341 You should do cabinets first, since that actually will impede the expansion of the floating floor if they went on top. Not to mention you don't want to be paying for extra flooring that will get permanently covered up
How is the floor wearing?
It still looks brand new!
My first two pieces of flooring won’t stay together
Can you describe the issue more? What flooring are you using?
Yes the flooring is easy to install a sixth grader can install it but a flooring company will charge you an arm and leg you would have to take out a second mortgage on your house
All the more reason to DIY!
