I would have never thought one could use LVP flooring for siding but it goes to show you that the human mind can be very powerful and ingenious. Great job! I like this idea.
This was an Idea that also occurred to me. I have beee testing some left overs I have for a year by leaving them outside on a table in the snow and rain. They held up very well outside in the element . Even the sun has not had a huge effect on then during this time. But to boost my courage I decided to look on RUclips to see if anyone else had done this and here you are. I am going for it!
I thought I was slightly innovative 20 years ago when I installed engineered wood flooring on an interior ceiling and old salvaged cedar (closet) boards on a bathroom ceiling. This takes the win--since it's exterior.
You mentioned longevity. I'm old now and have changed my viewpoints on building to last forever. I've witnessed masterpieces demolished, and the shittiest projects protected. It's the design and build that counts sometimes. If water gets behind the vinyl, it peels off or the plywood delaminates, make a video on the repair. It's beautiful now and you actually did it, which is most important.
@@cargogh Haha that is pretty innovative. I agree with you 100% on your follow up comment. Effort and completion is usually better than perfect procrastination. Hopefully it holds up though! Thanks for watching!
I am going to put wood look LV on the front of my house to look like wood accents. We used real wood on our previous house, but had to keep staining and sealing it. We figured the vinyl might look better for more years. Yes it will be under a porch type area. After seeing what you did, maybe we will do the porch ceiling also
Love the idea, any update on longevity, and how it has been holding up over the winter as in has there been any shrinkage? Although I'd hope that with the amount of nails you used and the interlocking tiles means it would all stay connected and watertight.
I think its a great idea to use as siding! I dont see why not! It looks great. I will be curious to see how it holds up. After caulking I dont see why it wouldn't hold up
Thanks for the video. I am considering LVP as a wall cover in my city backyard. I would be covering a chanlink fence and a concrete building, in different spots. About 600 sq ft total. I am thinking of mounting it on 1/4" cement board. I am in Brooklyn, NY, so hot summers and cold winters. The only reason I am considering this is cost savings, because doing it with ipe or something similar would be too expensive. Any thoughts on this based on your experience? I saw your comment about commercial grade, so I will look into that. Thanks!
Hey Andrew, just came up with your video when searching fruitlessly on wether I could use excess wood pattered LVP to dress up a sheltered basement entry foyer. Can you tell me how your project is holding up? I figure, my concrete foundation is ugly anyway, so what do I have to lose (planks are scrap and leftovers). Place is in Portland, OR. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on my idea. Jan
I am curious, wonder it the lower quality (more plastic) would compare to the higher quality (more vinyl) in such a scenario. One would shrink/expand more. Ever tought of overlapping them like shingles or plank siding? Might not look as good tho. The results is 👍👌. Could be the cover of a shed magazine.
Love your videos! Do you have one that shows how to take one pane of glass out of the replace frame? I don't want to take down trim and remove the whole window. I just want to replace a pane. Thanks!
I hope this works, however I was told that the LVP flooring needs to be able to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Otherwise, this is a great idea, (hope it holds up to UV). .
Yea, I would say hard no. This was purely “experimental” with no idea about longevity. I think the LVP may “buckle” and expand in really hot climates. I’ll get back to you in a few years based on how it’s holding up?

A moisture barrier on the walls first may have been a good idea. Glue it on as well first. Looks good though. I'd be interested in the longevity.
What an innovative use of excess flooring. Congratulations. Job well done.
Appreciate it, Patrick! Thanks for watching - as always!
Love your videos since I discovered you man. Very useful for when I get my own property and build a house.
I appreciate it! Thanks for the support!
@@AndrewThronImprovements anytime 😊

Would love to know how this is holding up after a year.

Looks good and thinking out of the box is a good thing. Time will tell if it’s a fail or an innovative idea.
Andrew , you are so creative and such a good teacher .
Thank you . We learn a lot from your great videos.
😊👍
Thanks Liz! I appreciate it!!
Gorgeous. Ive been fuming about scrapping half a build with Gorgeous lvp... and seeing it as siding I'd be extaxtic to try for my coops!
I love the Eichler design you did.
What a great idea! It looks awesome !
Thanks Mel! Appreciate you!
Job will done. I have though about doing this to my home. You project looks good.
I think its a great idea to use as siding! I dont see why not! It looks great. I will be curious to see how it holds up. After caulking I dont see why it wouldn't hold up
Great video, great idea. The Sun and fading may be a concern. Hows it holding up?
Update on how it’s holding up?
Update? About to do the same thing for a coop and wanted to see if they hold up to weather.

What about TREX flooring?
One year in ! How are planks holding up?
So far so good!

.
Mine has! Grade is everything and commercial grade such as my shaw rigid core line is less needy
how about the holes from your brad nailer?
They are barely even noticeable. However, I suppose you could fill them with clear calk if you were worries about water infiltration.
Nice!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
never mind i see it now
Would you recommend against doing this on a house?
Yea, I would say hard no. This was purely “experimental” with no idea about longevity.

And how’s it holding up now??
So far so good!
