Thank you for another very interesting and informative video. Looking forward to more videos. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family.
Great video mate. I’ve just laid a room using the EcoCore brand which includes the built in underlay so it is a lot stiffer to the point where it doesn’t really flex at all which results in a wresting match when clicking it all in. LVT looks amazing when down and is incredibly hard wearing.
Can’t believe it. I’ve been looking at videos about LVT recently and for sure thought you’d have one about it, but was surprised when you didn’t and here you go a couple of days later posting one. Get out of my head 😂😂
Good morning my friend, that was definitely a 'pro' finish, it looked absolutely outstanding, you should have your own TV show for this tupe of work, but then I suppose that is what YT is for these days, as for the tool raffle, sadly I am in Australia, I would like to wish you and your family A Very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Described and presented really well. If you're putting LVT on an uneven wooden floor in a bedroom how do prepare the surface? I have used ultra thin ply and shims in the past but that was nearly 20 years ago.
Excellent tutorial, as always. I'm in a quandary at the moment in our new house. Kitchen/Dining Room - don't know whether to use engineered wood flooring or LVP. I know a lot of it's down to personal preference, but with your experience, what would you prefer? I must admit this video is starting to tilt me in the direction of LVP!
So having done both plenty of times, my personal thoughts are this. Engineered looks better and feels nice quality but dents and gets ‘ruined’ faster. Yes you can sand it but it’s higher maintenance. LVT is a more robust solution for a busy home
We are moving in January and we are planning LVT flooring. Greatvideo. Besides, I mostly use your help with renovation in my home. I am just wondering whether glued or click flooring is better.
@@TheDIYGuy1 Is this click system strong enough? How does it work after years of use? Because from the samples I've seen it doesn't seem strong and laminate floor probably has stronger clicks. On the other hand, a perfectly cleaned and leveled floor is the key to success i believe.
Hi DIYGuy, I put down laminate flooring 18 months ago and done if it had started squeezing, as though the joins have failed. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that so the flooring no longer squirrels as we walk around?
Is self levelling compound like you used a good idea for a new build garage, as the current floor is dusty concrete and we want to use it as a home gym.
so how do you get the second plank in the doorway at the end, do you push the first one tight to door frame and stairs (using th3 5mm gap) and then fix the next plank and pull the back or do something different.
Remember when your finishing a row up to a wall not a door opening to still keep the recommended gap, so when you turn the plank around to mark it use the spacer still
As long as the base you're laying the flooring on is flat, clean and free of any blemishes (proud nail/screw heads etc) then you don't need to use underlay for most LVT.

@@DrunkenKnight71thanks for the heads up. I’ve fixed it 😃

Quite an appropriate video for me as I currently have some LVT acclimatising for a post Christmas job.
Perfect!
I laid LVT recently and it’s a really good experience. Your video is a great guide.
It really is!
Great work Cameron Happy Christmas and New Year.
Thanks, you too!
Beautiful job Cameron! 👍
Thanks a bunch!

Same to you! Thanks

You’re right, the ones with underlay make it more difficult for sure!
Another great video.... keep up the good work dude
Will do thanks
Great video, great tip for getting around radiator pipes. Happy christmas to you.
Thanks, you too!
Fabulous mate . Always love ur content ..always interesting and valuable to know
Much appreciated

Haha read your mind 🫡
Great video. Simple to follow instructions. Thanks.
Glad it helped
Perfect timing as Ive bought some nice oak ones to do myself🙌🏼 only slight difference is I have insulating underlay, thanks for this!!
Anytime

Thanks very much and happy Xmas to you and yours too! RUclips is more commonly watched than TV these days so in a way it is my show 😃

Depends. In most cases click is plenty good enough. Thanks

Great video! Have a fab Christmas
Thank you! You too!
Nice trick on a rad pipes , not done that before ! Cheers !!
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Thank you for your sharing!
My pleasure!
Looks great, mate. Is there any chance there will be a single video of a before and after room by room of your renovations? All the best for Xmas \m/
What a great idea! Yes I will do a room by room!
And happy Xmas to you too
I currently have laminates in my kitchen diner room but they have lots of water damage and wear and tear. Would lvt be better for this room
Yes providing it is rated for water which most LVT are
Amazing as always bro😊😊😊
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for that very informative video, immensely helpful. 👍😊👏
Glad it was helpful!
Superb job! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you,master. Gonna watch it later when my son is asleep
👍 cheers
Great video. What trim do you use at the front door?
Plastic skirting 👍
Lvt vs Laminate flooring? That's what most people can't decide on. Personally, Lvt is king. But Expensive. Worth it. In the long run.
I prefer LVT in most scenarios
@@TheDIYGuy1
Why do you prefer LVT? I have only ever used laminate but am thinking of LVT for upstairs bathroom.
Click lvt fails more than laminate.
I personally prefer the AGT laminate flooring 8mm or thicker. It's nice to work with and very robust,I fit laminate everyday and no complaints.
Hi DIYGuy,
I put down laminate flooring 18 months ago and done if it had started squeezing, as though the joins have failed. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that so the flooring no longer squirrels as we walk around?
Nice looking job Cameron, especially with the tip on cutting around pipes. Happy Xmas and look forward to seeing you in 2025. 👍👍
Thanks, you too!
Is self levelling compound like you used a good idea for a new build garage, as the current floor is dusty concrete and we want to use it as a home gym.
I’ve a video of a much better solution for this coming in January 😉
@@TheDIYGuy1That’s handy! I’ll keep an eye out for it! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Any advice on how to repair light scratches in LVT. Had mine down less than 1 day and the gas man has scratched it pushing to cooker back into place!
so how do you get the second plank in the doorway at the end, do you push the first one tight to door frame and stairs (using th3 5mm gap) and then fix the next plank and pull the back or do something different.
You pretty much nailed it 👍
Out of curiosity, what brand is the LVT you used? Milliken?
Polyflor. Cheers
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Those rad pipes would kill me looking at every day
Good presentation ..............Thank you Mike in Co Durham
Anytime 👍
great job mate
Thanks
Looks quality.
Thanks 🙏
You could also use a cheap Japanese saw indstead of mulititool
Whats the underlay do
Acoustic and thermal benefits mostly 👍
Remember when your finishing a row up to a wall not a door opening to still keep the recommended gap, so when you turn the plank around to mark it use the spacer still
Indeed 👍
At the end I can see a nice carpet on the stairs, I hope to see video on that. There is no carpet videos on the channel.
Great suggestion! Thanks
Teach. 👍 👍
Always!
Just to note that LVT can be glued onto the floor without using the underlay
Correct
Wisdom.
Now you have the wisdom
I think the color of natural wood would be better, but of course it's an individual choice
Absolutely 👍
I thought LVT flooring had to be glued down and you couldn’t use underlay. Am I missing something?
There are 2 types of LVT:
- LVT click (as seen in this video)
- LVT adhesive
As long as the base you're laying the flooring on is flat, clean and free of any blemishes (proud nail/screw heads etc) then you don't need to use underlay for most LVT.
I would have laid them across the room, not a criticism mate I just think they would have looked better
Fair opinion 👍
This another RUclips trend trying to setup a raffle company?
@TheDIYGuy1 IS this competition world wide?
Hi, I’m afraid it is Just UK and Ireland
