This is a gift from God. I'm just about to start this! Thank you!
That is fantastic! This will be a good resource for you. I think once you get going with it, you will be happy with the ease of installation. Let me know how it goes. Good luck with your project!
@@TheExcellentLaborer yes, sir
It’s not a 22 millimeter wear layer. It’s a 22 mill as in thousandths of an inch. Building my first house now and should be installing the flooring in a couple weeks. As usual your video is right on time. Thanks! ✌🏻🇺🇸
Very interesting I did not realize that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Congrats on building your first house! This final plank flooring is what a lot of contractors in my area are going to because it’s so easy to install and hold up very well. I’m glad the video was right on time for you. You are welcome! Be sure to stay tuned for more videos to come!
I installed the same flooring in a Christian academy school house 8 years ago and it still looks great. Thanks for your videos they are so valuable to a lot of people with not so much experience.
I’m glad it’s still looks great! You are welcome, I’m glad you are enjoying these videos! it’s amazing how quick this flooring goes down. Thanks for watching!
WowJosh you do such precise work! 1/2 bath looks amazing! And you explain everything so simple. Love watching your videos keep them coming!
Thanks a lot! The half bath definitely will add a lot of value to this structure. I tried to explain everything to where most people can understand it no matter their background of knowledge. Appreciate you watching!
I have vinyl plank flooring throughout my house. I love it! It's the easiest type of flooring to install. It gives the appearance of wood flooring without the expense. Plus, it's waterproof, unlike real wood flooring. For future reference, the side of the plank that you called the "tongue" is called the "groove" and the side you called "flat" is the tongue. You do such a good job with your camera work and instructions. Very professional.
It is really nice stuff I agree! When I saw hardwood floor, it’s called the tongue and groove side. That makes sense in this case. It is not the exact same as hardwood floor. Thanks for letting the audience know. Good luck with your project!
Another great DIY video. Detailed, comprehensive, and really well-shot. I'd love to see how you'd tackle vinyl flooring over a wood subfloor, especially an older, uneven one.
I would do the same principal as I did in the video. I would address any major humps and bumps, but let the gradual unevenness go. I’m glad you really liked the video! Good luck through project!
Just starting this project and this popped up. As always we soooooo appreciate you. Building our own and had to sub out some things. Thanks for all you do!! Now onto baseboards. lol All your info fills in the blanks and shines a light on things I worry about because I don’t know.. but now I know. 😀😀😀
You are welcome! Great timing! I’m sure you noticed how easy it is to work with this. Doing your own work will save you a ton of money and that’s why I do it too! I feel blessed to be able to make these videos to help people. Everyone has their own techniques for the trades. I just show how I do it. I’m glad it is helping you. Good luck with your project!

I’ve installed this. Dream to work with. You can beat on this stuff and it won’t fail during install like other cheap brands of LVP and laminate
It is so easy to work with compared to other flooring! I really do enjoy how tough this floor is as well. Definitely can tell the longevity will be there. Thanks for watching!
I have bought those spacers in the past but learned quickly to rip a scrap piece to make spacers out of. Saving customers money…
Yeah, that works too. Anyway to allow expansion and contraction to happen. Thanks for your input!
I’ve laid a lot of this same brand floor but there are more tricks to get this floor down. Be patient and it should be fine, don’t force or you’ll break the edges off
Excelente trabajo amigo
¡Gracias, te lo agradezco!
@@TheExcellentLaborer de nada amigo gracias a Ti por tomarte el tiempo y Enseñarnos lo mucho que sabes hacer ,
I love vinyl plank flooring, ive installed alot of it, and please no one ever buy "waterproof" laminate flooring, absolute garbage and pain to install, and will definitley fail in time. If your gonna buy "fake" flooring why would anyone consider laminate over vinyl plank? Basically the same price, it actually is waterproof, stronger, and doesn't expand and contract in different seasons anywhere ( tested as only 1/4 of how much laminate does so basically none) as much as sawdust made products lol. No brainer.....
I agree with you! I’m not a fan of laminate flooring at all. It’s not near as tough nor does it with stand water as well as luxury vinyl. I agree with you it is a no-brainer! I used to think non-wood floor such as this would not look that great but I was wrong! It looks awesome! I’m glad to see your comment here. Thanks for watching!
About to install this myself and my handy man friend said you should put down 3m black sheet, is that not needed or just overkill for water protection?
When are you installing the garage doors
What would you use to transition/finish up to a bathtub/shower pan?
Why not a moisture barrier used?
I just learned a half assed way of installing this the other day without using rubber hammer and the two taping blocks and no spacing. Is the proper term vinyl taping blocks??? I would like to order these soon.
Duh... I looked in your description. Thanks for the help. What do you think about using a rolling mechanic seat that is low to the floor? Do you think this would be easier on the knees?
Sounds like you found the link the description. I’m glad I was able to help you out. I have never installed Flooring using a mechanic seat. I feel like it could be hard on your back. Everyone is different. Thanks for watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Reason why I asked is because my knees are a bit shot. Thanks for the reply and all your videos. You are an excellent teacher.
2.2cm wear layer is thicker than your plastic flooring
