- If your manufacturer's documentation allows your flooring to be installed with Adhesive Tape, this is the process you could use to do that. Ricky demonstrates the adhesive tape itself, layout, how to solve certain issues, even replacing a plank from the center of the room!

Cool, does look easy.
Thank you. Best video I have seen!
Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.
Only one question. Can I use the tape for cork flooring, in your experience?
If your flooring is proper cork, 100% from top to bottom, then yes. If you have a cork backing, like an attached pad, on another type of floor, then no.
Floors To Your Home (.com) Thank you for replying. Very helpful. It will be 100% cork. I like the warmth, but with a dog and cat shedding much fur I don't want carpet again. Good 8-10mm cork with polyurethane varnish, I think.
can you do this in stick and peel tlle for bathroom?
Stick and peel probably already has its own tape. If your particular product's instructions allow for more, you could be fine with this method.
How would this hold up to heat and humidity in an bathroom with no ventilation?
Stacy, *we* don't sell this particular tape anymore (pure supply & demand for us, not the quality of the tape) so I can't verify its documentation directly, but that was why we used it in the demo, and shows to be true of it where sellers give reasonably detailed information. With any double-sided tapes, you will want to verify that. Some will handle that well, and some won't be designed for the conditions in a bathroom. It will be product specific. If you can't find what you need online - and I mean the information - then try a home store where the customer service is good and knowledgeable.
I'm renting an apartment and I want to do this to my bedroom to get rid of an ugly tile. How would you remove the adhesive tape after moving out?
From the landlord's floor? With great difficulty. The adhesive tape is designed to be permanent, and however easy manufacturers say it can be to remove ("Just use a little *Goo* *Gone* !") it's really not, and you'll want to leave that floor in the shape it was in when you moved in, so you won't be charged a cleaning fee.
From your own flooring, in hopes of re-using it elsewhere? Possibly impossible. The act of removing it could damage the underside of the flooring, and if you want to re-use it, it would have to start with a perfectly smooth under-surface.
Honestly, there is no "attached to the subfloor" floor that is great for your wishes. You really need something that 'floats', any click-together or Loose Lay floor will be a better option for you, Loose Lay being the best if you really do hope to keep your flooring and re-use it later.
nice video. where can i buy this tape?
Basically, any home store. We used to include it with the product, of course, but those tiles have sold out, and even if we did sell just the tape, the added shipping cost would make it silly for you not to just pick it up near you. It's a standard 2" wide, double-sided tape, "carpet tape" possibly, when you look or ask.
Seems like you should've kept measuring as you extended the tape. That far left and about halfway through the video almost misses the square.
Is this floor waterproof
Most vinyl flooring is, yes, as long as you mean the material. Water won't hurt it. This doesn't mean that something like a flood of water won't get past it to your subfloor; it means that once your flood situation is cleared up, this material won't be water damaged,
What kind of tape did you use
It's a standard 2" wide, double-sided tape, "carpet tape" possibly, when you Google, look or ask in a store.
