Learn how to install vinyl plank flooring in a bathroom that looks like ceramic large format tile. Vinyl plank flooring bathroom installation is an easy process you can do as a beginner installer and only needs a few tools. The flooring is waterproof and will not let any water pass through the seams. With some caulking around the tub this should help prevent any water seepage from normal bathroom usage. It is a floating floor though, so take that into consideration as if the room floods there is nothing to keep it from going over the edges of the flooring. It’s a great looking floor and nice and warm on the feet.

Be careful when buying @Lifeproof Vinyl plank flooring. A lot depends on the constant temperature of the house or building it is being installed in. It was buckle and separate if there is Direct Sunlight coming in from windows or doors. I have 2000 Sq ft I installed and was recommended by the sales associate to buy and install underlayment at the extra cost of over $1000.00 and when the building starts to warm up in the summer the floor lifts at the joints and creates a tripping hazard. I contacted @Homedepot and basically, after 6 months of going through various hoops to resolve the issue they basically take no responsibility for their sales associate's recommendations of selling me underlayment that wasn't necessary to use. Now I have over $6000.00 of Flooring and underlayment that will most likely have to be ripped out!
Could this product be used as a tub surround
Hi! Where can i get those tiles? And is it advisable if i were to lay it over my bathroom floortiles? which are now currently ceramic tiles on a concrete. And do i need to apply any adhesive or some sort of waterproofing membrane or something for it?
What Program did you use to make the plans? My bathroom is 2 inches short and I don't want to lay down a 2 inch piece 😅
Thank you so much for this video! It made feel 100%%%%% confident in NOT wanting to redo my bathroom floor. :)
As I was watching this, your statement went through my head before I could come here and say it.
🤣🤣😂😂
😂😂😂😂

As a professional floor installer and who has done remodeling floors in bathrooms that have any wood products as underlayment , the last thing you want on your floor is a product that has multiple seams like tile and floating vinyl floors life expectancy is 10 years . the best products for a bathroom floor is solid inlayed vinyl congoleum with no seams it is made to last 20 + years and a permanent underlayment when you decide to change designs.
Use a floating floor expect to have to replace it in 5 to 10 years .
Good advice. I'm not a believer in floating floors either, especially for bathrooms, and kitchens. I never installed a floor. But you make a lot of sense thank you for the advice.
5 to 10 years is awfully generous. In reality, most will begin to funnel water to the sub floor within 3 years. Also, why this idiot thinks he is qualified to give any advice about either plumbing or flooring is beyond me. FYI, I am 34 years in the flooring business, but have been dong this kind of plumbing for more that 15 of those years.
Thanks for the input.. is this material your speaking of the same that comes in the 12' rolls? Similar/same as the vinyl sheeting? I've already bought click/lock LVP but am considering returning it because I want this 2nd floor bathroom to withstand the use of renters sloppy bathing.. this is my first time redoing a bathroom..
That orange material was something called Ditra made by a company called Schluter. It is an uncoupling membrane eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.
If it's installed correctly......
The tile is installed EXCELLENTLY!!!!!!!! Schluter rocks.
how do people make so many frequent remodels
Do you know if it has off gassing?
@@isackhernandez3691
Sorry I don't know but most people using the bathroom often experience off-gassing...
GREAT VIDEOS from an OLD INSTALLER.
50 years of installing every kind of flooring imaginable and some that were just plum crazy (cross-cut mesquite trees).
Only 1 suggestion. Use expensive knee pads if a person is going to do very many floors. When you hit 70 you will be glad that you protected those knees.
which knee pads are the best in your opinion?
The orange underlayment is Ditra and it looked correctly installed to me. It’s an uncoupling membrane so it should be easy to get up. It’s job is to keep the shifting OSB from cracking the tile over time.
I think because of the lack of concrete used, that's when he said it was poorly installed.
Just recently installed tiles like this in my laundry and a small bathroom. Super easy as I just later it over existing linoleum. No issues after a couple of months and looks great
You make it look so easy, and I was surprised that I can probably get this done. I've been putting it off because my house is 51 years old and needs a lot of work. I grew up in it with my grandparents and they left it to me because I don't have any siblings. I want it to last me so I want to get started.
I have people calling all the time for a tapping block, when they're not needed. Simply use a cut scrap to use as a tapping block. Need to ensure the male and female ends snap together before tapping or you could damage the interlocking edge. Good info and nice video
Thanks so much. This video actually address alot of the issues folks are likely to see. Instead of just pretending everything will be picture perfect for install
I did recently finished a similar sized bathroom and will be doing a second one soon. I opted to start at the door to better go under the door trim. My rooms had a gap under the drywall so that provided for expansion and I filled with caulk backer and sealed it to the vinyl tiles. Then could use just baseboard at the wall, no quarter-round needed. I took care to seal the floor at all borders just in case to protect from water from an flood event, at least to give time to stop the water and soak it up. Otherwise water under the floor would be an issue.
It's amazing how good vinyl can look now. Good job, that looks great!
Yeah, I was really happy to see these new styles come out
Looks great but it will leak and the floor will get exposed to moisture.
I really love sound of the mallet tapping the vinyl. I always look forward to it haha
This looks amazing!! Have to redo our utility, kitchen, and bathroom floors. This will definitely help
Good luck!
I o ko look lonnn. No. Y
Excellent execution brother...down to the littlest details! I would hire you in NY in a heartbeat. Thanks for the educational video. Stay strong & healthy. 👊🏻
Not in a million years would I have thought to put down a level to see if the planks will rock and later create problems. Great videos!
Man I just did this in a new sunroom and both bathrooms in my house. easy-peasy
It's definitely one of the selling features of this product, goes down very quickly
Great video. .. you did a great job of visual and voice instruction. Also, great tips in comments section. One of the best I have seen!
Your videos are really easy to follow and understand. Very informative!
I love when you try to show us new tricks to do DIY (make better) own house.
I don’t think I’ve got the confidence to tackle this on my bathroom but I can hope!! Great video. Love this flooring
This video really helped out and will help in the future. I plan on redoing the bathroom floor in my house. The bathroom is rather old and has carpet down which is a no no for me and under it linoleum. This will be my first real big project and the info in the video really helped! If anyone else has any advice on redoing the floor from carpet to vinyl without a lot of experience let me know it would be much appreciated 🤙
Great video! If you have an old shop vac you can use it to vacuum any remaining water from the toilet and use a couple paper towels to get the rest.
I used self leveling concrete for my bathroom. Worked perfect, laid the vinyl the next day after caulking the corners.
My parents apartment had not had any leaks in 20 years when the tank on the toilet cracked from top to bottom when they were not at home. You might consider one of the sensor shut-off systems just in case something like that happens to your home. If the sensor detects water, a signal turns off water pressure to the house. Result - very little water on the floor and less chance of it getting under the floor.
Very good information! I’ve put down a good bit of flooring, but still learned some tips to do a better installation.
This was very helpful in helping me decide on the material to use for my bathroom floor.
This is a perfect video for someone getting started. Thanks!
You should not press the silicone directly into the gap between vinyl an wall because silicone is not as compressible as needed. This might cause the floor to lift if the temperature rises, as the space for expansion is clogged by the silicone. There are special PE-cords of different diameters that can be pushed into the gap to fill it. After that the silicone is applied. That is of course only necessary in rooms where the floor is likely to get wet.
I wish every installer was a craftsman like this guy. A lot of folks these days really don't do a good job, are in and out in a hurry, blame your choices or your house for any problems ,but still want a million dollars for the job.
Great! This will look great in our sun room on a concrete floor!
Cool beans! This product could work for 2 bathrooms in my house. Thank you for the clear instruction, as usual.
I've always been told the toilet flange should sit on top of the flooring. I'm not sure you want it flush with the flooring since the wax seal won't compress enough.
Agree sitting on finish floor it’s best he had it right at beginning with out cutting anything but 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️
Correct
You’ve always been told correctly!
Just buy an extender or thicker wax and you’re good to go
Very good job, best video for beginner. 2 thumbs up. Thank you very much for helping people save money by doing DIY .
I have been watching your videos and realized that you sound and remind me of my other favorite RUclipsr, Mark Rober! Starting my bathroom flooring later this week. Thanks
Thanks. I was not sure if the vanity should be sitting on the vinyl planking but I see it is ok. I am doing my bathroom and is not so easy when you have a lot of cuts. This stuff moves around and it is easy to damage the locking edges. The block can damage the edges and ruin your plank. I have seen others use a scrap piece of the planking that can lock into the edge you want to tap then they tap that scrap piece edge instead of the good edge. My bathtub is pushed in a bit in a couple of areas so not easy to have to plank look good along the tub. Did some calking between tub and plank last night so have to see how that holds up. Newbies will definitely ruin a few planks before getting the hang of this. Technically not difficult but definitely need to know the little tricks.
I was going to say I didn’t see you use the prescribed backer rod for this type of install but then I heard the comment at the end of the video. Awesome video brother and thanks.
Great video man! I'm getting ready to do this exact job myself and I have a pretty important question. I'm using vynil plank I have leftover from doing my basement. The reason I'm doing this to begin is that my upstairs bathroom caused some major issues when one of the kids overflowed it and it ran under the baseboard behind the toilet and out the kitchen ceiling below. I noticed you didn't use a membrane or anything along the walls. I'd definitely feel better trapping any water the gets where it shouldn't, in the bathroom. This is being installed over existing builder grade vynil roll out. Appreciate the videos! Nice work. Thank you in advance to anyone that replies. 🙏
Really like the design of the floor
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
I'm wondering about whether the vinyl plank fooring manufacturer recommends having vanity sitting on top the vinyl or do they recommend installing the vanity and installing around it. Any thoughts?
I'm so jealous right now. I'm still getting wood glue off my kitchen floor right now. My lovely father-in-law glued parquet flooring to cement!
I KNOW YOUR PAIN (Trying not to shout).
Great video, thanks so much! Hey, challenge question for you, how would you (would you?) transition from tile in a curbless shower to LVP in the main bathroom floor?
Well done! It looks really awesome!
Finally a pro that does not put next to toilet. Under like it is supposed to be installed for good looks and sanitation. Thanks
I think I am gonna start working on my wife's dental office floor, you make it look so easy, thanks!
I am a Flooring Specialist at HD and I am going to refrence your video when selling LifeProof... you explain the exact process! Keep up the good work!!!
Awesome! I have a whole playlist and it's all done with Lifeproof! :)
@@Fixthisbuildthat Yeah, Lifeproof is all I recommend to customers for its quality
Pretty nice work, dude! 😃
It's really interesting how it's done there!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, brother!
What a great video that shows good install tips!
A couple of questions - Doe the planks ever get air under them, to make them feel "Loose in the middle or "squishy" etc?
We are re-doing both our bathrooms, and I can't decide on using these planks, or vinyl sheeting. (I have never done either, so I will likely have a professional doing whichever.
Can you give any advice on pro/cons of using the sheeting instead of planks?
Thank you again for posting this.
I didn’t realize at 8:48 you were sitting on the tub...I thought good night this dude has some strong legs” great video
I wanted to know if I should replace an old toilet before or after putting new flooring in a bathroom? Great video showing how to install the flooring in the bathroom.
Great video. Was wondering if you can install luxury vinyl flooring overtop linoleum in a bathroom or if you need to remove the linoleum first?
Good job, good installation planning is key.
Another trick to make life easier for this kind of job is you can apply an underlayment to level out the floor and add a little cushion. Works very well and save some time on floor prep work. Just make sure you get the stuff meant for bathroom and moisture control.
I've read you shouldn't use underlayment with this type of tile as it may compromise the join/ edge
@@rcrewe3733 if you don't too much water on the floor could make your floor bubble.
I'm curious about the 3d modeling program you used for the layout of your tiles. Which one are you using, and was there a steep learning curve?
Nice video, thank you so much, we are going with the Salt Throne Marble to make the room a little brighter :)
This was just what I was looking for. Thank you for the run down. What 3d modeling program did you use?
Great video! Good production & post! Well done!
Nicely done👍🤟. I think Brad deserves more than 1 million subscriber.🤔
I agree :)
Hello, thank you so much for showing us rookies. Could you have installed over the existing tile?
Great video. I think if you can tape the cutting part on the trim first, then you won't get a chip.
Thanks for posting this, great video
I don't know about the floatiing-floor LVT locking joints being moisture proof. Flooding is rarely a problem. Splashing and dripping is. You might have plywood water damage/mold/buckling after too long.
BTW, huge fan of LVT. Used adhesive-set Karndean in two kitchen remodels. In our current house I used poly grout with 24x18 tiles. Everyone comments on it and then we tell them it is vinyl. 3 years rock solid.
nah man that stuff is water tight. i think its core tec.
great vidoes. now i'm ready to do my floor! thanks a lot buddy! 👍👍
Very helpful video thanks. We are needing a lot of work on our house to put it in the market and move . Lots of stuff we can't do ourselves so saving $$ on things we can. Your videos are so helpful.
Probably an odd comment but - I was getting really frustrated trying to use the rubber mallet I bought with the block and pull bar. It was way larger than the one in your video. Bought the one in your list. Game changer! Finally got those seams looking good.
Tried the design software for layout but apparently there's a reason I'm a tax accountant not a designer. Maybe you should do a training video for that.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the great video! This might have been asked already, but what 3D modeling software did you use to plan your tiling? Thanks in advance.
Great tips,Brad. I did 4 rooms of laminate flooring a few months ago to sell my house so I can feel your pain during the install. The real problem comes when you have a closet and the flooring has to go on both sides of the wall. You have to get really creative then. Take care.
Bill
Oh yeah, that's a nightmare. So hard to match it up
Sir,just found your channel. Immediately subscribed to it. Thanks for the help. Found it to be very informative
Number one 😄 EGYPT 🇪🇬❤ ...GOOD WORK BRO
Thanks! 😃
Have you provided a link for the vinyl plank flooring product you used? I don't see it?
Great job Brad. And man you lucked out with the Schuelter not being installed right & it basically all came up in sheets. Isn't it crazy the different materials they're constantly inventing & coming up with?? Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Yeah, the Schlueter made it super easy to remove, and I'm thankful for that! Stay safe, Mike!
Can/should you do something like a rubber waterproofing paint if you lay directly on subfloor?
Fixthisbuildthat.. Man I wish you was in Florida. We are replacing the flooring and toilet in out master bath and really could use some help by someone that know what they are doing. My wife and I have never done this type of work before.
Expertly done.
Nice job explaining it so even a greenhorn like me has enough to go on and then some.
i really love your videos man god bless you keep the great job sir
Great job, great video, from a 66 yr old lifetime contractor
great tutorials! planning to do my bathrooms and floors. I really liked your oak floors outside the bathroom. What brand/style/color and purchase location? Thanks!
awesome video... I'm basically about to do the same, almost same tile (mine is double the length) same gray but no grain. Can you link that T channel? I might use that one myself. Thanks!
What digital program do you use to make the planos (blueprint or drawing) thanks for sharing this video I found most helpful
Do you have a rough idea of when the next bathroom remodel video will be published? I love your content. I learn so much from you because you make things so simple to understand.
Great Video Brad! Question about the 1/8 spacers, do you remove them after the floor installation? And what keeps the floor from moving? I've always wondered how the floating floors are keept from floating after installation. Is it just good old fashioned friction keeping everything in place?
Yes you remove the spacers. The baseboards and caulk hold it in place incredibly well, on top of just the surface friction.
Great job and nicely explained. Finally subscribed :)
Welcome aboard!
I'm that guy who was just tearing up the old subfloor and 2 billion staples. But since I already did it, I was cursing the previous owner. Not you :)
Great job, as always!!
😂 😂 Sorry! But at least you know they did it right 😀
Excellent job and Video.
amazing work
You can also use a plunger and push the way down the drain instead of a turkey baster. Great content!
Congratulations on your 1 million subscriber!
Thank you so much 😀
Another great job
Tearing up that beautiful tile floor is totally insane!
The orange Schluter Ditra membrane that was removed provided some waterproofing protection. Is it not required in your area to have a waterproofing membrane above that type of OSB/ particle board flooring?
Awesome. Do you have a link to the vinyl planks that you installed in this video?
Brad,
Let me start by saying - great content. I've learned a lot from your videos, keep making them.
I like that you are very detailed when you are describing your projects.
I'm installing Vinyl flooring in my basement and I need to figure out the best option to lay down the flooring.
A piece of paper and a pencil does the job but, a 3D modeling program will help a lot.
My question is:
What 3D modeling program are you using?
Thank you.
its the smooth finishes for me 👌🏻
killer video brad!
thanks, dude!
Just had a professionally laid vinyl plank floor OVER underlying tile in entry hall, kichen, and bathroom. They used some type of quick drying leveling compound over all of the tile, then laid vinyl floor with built in pad, right over it. Very neat and easy. No expensive dusty tile removal...FYI.
That‘s a great option for doing multiple areas on the same floor, if there‘s a height difference between rooms that can be fixed that way, or if height differences between rooms don’t matter. In cases where floors are level and should stay level, but only one room is supposed to get new flooring, there‘s really no way around removing the old floor (as it was the case here, as Brad mentioned). Also, even with thin material like vinyl, new floors add at least somewhere between a quarter to half of an inch to the existing floor and that can interfere with doors.
Like any method, it can be applied in a lot of areas, but for some requirements it just isn’t the right option.
What 3d model app did you use? I’d like to try out the planning before installation vs cutting as I go and running back to the store because I didn’t buy enough lol
Those 1' x 2' vinyl pieces look great in the bathroom. I chose one with the bevel edge.
I’m installing Great Lakes Vinyl Floors Urban Series tile. It has cut and beveled edges. Not cheap stuff but man, having heck of a time getting the tiles installed and tight to one another. Ie put in the long edge and it doesn’t wanna move at all twd locking into the short edge without a fair amount of force ie more hammering than tapping. Am I doing something wrong?
@@sf7147 Always read the manufacturer's installation instructions because not all locking systems are equal. Pay attention to the small little ribs on both sides and make sure the little ribs don't break.
@@sf7147 Looking at the installation instructions, there are Ribs. Attach long side then the short side should drop into place. Tap lightly. As a side note, pay attention that the very ends aren't breaking when tapping. I usually bow the piece slightly to help the end grooves set-in properly. I hope that makes sense.
So you can silicone the expansion gap? That won't prevent the expansion/shrinking?
Would you recommend this floor for a kitchen? We’re looking at this exact floor.
