Learn How to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring on concrete with this DIY, beginner friendly instructional video! Specifically, you will learn how to install luxury vinyl plank flooring in a basement - but you can use these steps to install vinyl plank flooring in any room.
To install LVP (Vinyl Plank) flooring, you will need to the following tools and materials 🛠🧰 :
Vinyl Plank Flooring: www.metroflor.com/shop/products
LVP Installation Kit (Includes spacers, tapping block, hammer, pull-bar, etc.): amzn.to/3R3ynFD
Utility Knife: amzn.to/3QW7rY7
Straight Edge: amzn.to/3QL0rNP
Carpenter's Square: amzn.to/3GQ8YdN
Circular Saw: amzn.to/3w9ZMvR
Jig Saw: amzn.to/3ZJoxMU
Transition Moldings (Optional): www.metroflor.com/documents/G...
To install LVP flooring as a beginner, you will need to follow these general steps:
1. Prepare the Room for LVP Installation
Preparation for vinyl plank installation includes:
- Removal of any dirt or debris from the floor.
- Ensuring that the room is perfectly flat and correct any problem areas with self-leveling underlayment.
- Removal of baseboards.
2. Position Spacers around the Room
Because LVP is a "floating floor" you will want to have 1/4" spacers positioned around the room to allow for expansion and contraction.
3. Plan out your LVP Layout.
Every successful vinyl plank flooring project begins with planning. Plan your LVP layout carefully.
4. Install the First Row of LVP.
You always want to install the first row of LVP flooring in the "back left" corner of the room.
5. Cut and Trim the Vinyl Plank Flooring as needed.
To cut LVP flooring, use a utility knife and a carpenter's square to score and snap the plank along the cut line. You can also use a miter saw, circular saw, and a jig saw to cut LVP as well.
6. Install Vinyl Plank Transition Molding (if needed).
If desired, you can install LVP transition molding to transition from one floor type to another. To attach the molding to a concrete floor, you will need to use a hammer drill and a carbide tipped masonry bit to drill the holes.
7. Install Baseboard and Final Touches.
The last step in the LVP installation process is to install (or re-install) the baseboards around the room in order to hide the 1/4" expansion gap.

Awesome job buddy
Nice job well done 👍
Appreciate it, Neil! Thanks for watching 👍
Greetings Andrew, your place is looking great! Hope you are enjoying your home, now that you have redone the entire place! Great long term investment for you, for sure! The people I know who have done the best economically in the single family home real estate market have held onto all of the homes they lived in over a long period of time! By the time they reached retirement age, all of the three or four houses they had accumulated, were worth a substantial amount! Cheers! Thomas!
Hello! Appreciate it! I totally agree - I’m never selling this guy. Thanks so much for the support, Thomas!
Can you do some long shots in your before and afters? It's nice to see the project up close, but it makes the difference seeing it as far away as you can get and still show the project.
10-4!
Beautiful work
I appreciate it, Carol!
Dimple membrane, osb top, vinyl on top of that I think will be warmer on feet and moisture proof
If i dont have a vapour barrier, how do i instal this
Aren’t you supposed to install a moisture barrier under the LVP when putting on concrete floor?
'at least according to you'..I will take that..
Haha appreciate it! Thanks for always dropping a comment 🙏👍
No sweat man..I support good content creator like you and you deserve a lot more views than this..
