I've been watching a lot of videos on how to do this and your's is the BEST one I've seen! Thank you for the details, links to even more detailed vids and for NOT going so fast I would have to replay to catch everything!! I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on past videos I am sure will have a lot more very helpful information! Wishing you and your family a healthy and prosperous New Year! 👍👏❤️☺️
Thank you so much! Your comment and feedback really means a lot! Happy New Year to you and your Family as well! 🙏🏽😊🎉🥰

🚩So I see a lot of good intentions, but a lot of Misleading Mistakes. I I am a General Contractor and have been installing luxury vinyl snaplock for 7+years. Per manufacturer instructions, you need a quarter inch expansion around your walls yes, but also around everything else for instance like your toilet flanges, water lines etc. The planks expand and contrast with temperature fluctuations and all "tight cuts" will cause binding and unlocking of your flooring and also void manufacturers warranty. If your box says you need a expansion gap, that means everything, not just your wall. When installing luxury vinyl snaplock it's important to NEVER glue, screw, nail, etc. As it will once again cause a failure to expand and contrast, therefore causing binding and unlocking. Also as the flooring needs to expand and contrast heavy items like cabinetry should never be set on top, but gone around and finished with trim as once again they will cause binding and failure to expand and contrast. Believe it or not most of this information can be found right on the back of the box. These are manufacturer guidelines but as a rule of thumb you can tell yourself if you have to leave expansion along the wall a quarter inch, you need to leave a quarter inch around everything else and allow it to expand and contrast. I'm not saying you can't install the floor this way and walk away from it with it looking good... for now....I am definitely saying it was not installed properly and I would be very concerned about longevity. The only reason I made this comment is for the spread of the knowledge, I'm in no way trying to down anyone's work! Hope this was helpful!
Very good explanation! What about toilets? Should you remove and floor under them?
@@rockycaughron8755 Yes most definitely! Then make sure you leave a quarter inch around the toilet flange, Then clean the old seal off your flange and install a new wax seal.
Pretty sure he’s using spacers
I've never done this but I used to build with steel. You are exactly right. You have to have room for expansion and contraction. Same thing in concrete work. ❤❤🎉
My tile is saying once acclimated, you don't need a space
Tip: Pop out the pins in the hinges and remove your bathroom door. Will prevent accidental damage and will give you more room to work. IMO
Thank you for the tip! 🙏🏽😊
I lost my father a couple years ago. It has been hard for me to do needed repairs because we did them together. I’m going to try this tomorrow. I’m going to try with leaving my vinyl roll flooring down and putting the planks on top. Your videos are wonderful and helps to refresh my memory of watching my father. I’m afraid of that toilet but I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the videos
You are the best teacher in you tube: it's dummy proof.
Now show what you do to seal the vinyl flooring from water damage from a failed wax ring
You just saved me a lot of money! I did the floors everywhere else but I couldn’t figure out the toilet area so I was gonna pay someone to do the bathroom. Thanks!
I rarely ever comment, but wanted to say pretty much everything that Robin did (in the pinned comment)! I'm scared of pulling the trigger on my DIY flooring so I've watched a ton of these kinds of videos. I've never found one more helpful and my confidence and eagerness to try it myself just went way up! Thank you Fix This House!
Thank you so much for your his amazing comment! Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
An oscillating tool would do you alot of good. They make quick work notches, doorways, and vents.
You made this process so simple and easy; hence, making me to conclude that this is the reason why not everybody is a handyman. Blessings!
Thank you for this, one of the clearest explanations I’ve seen, very well done and easy to follow!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse Agreed, you're the best ! I'm hoping you might be able to give me an answer to my question above. Thank You !
Your video is the best one I’ve seen so far. Very clear explaination thank you !
REALLY enjoy your videos. Super helpful, you describe the process so well and you make a lot of us DIYers feel much more confident in ourselves!
THANK YOU for your ever so simply explanation of how to install vinyl planking. I will be doing my entire home, 1000 sq ft. and particularly like that stop-block preventing the flooring from moving when you do not have an entirely empty home and need to move furniture. You have giving me an extra layer of confidence that I can do this. Had not seen those separators before, makes all the sense, again confidence booster. WOOHOO! Sorry that I did not catch your name! Thanks! :)
I’m so glad i could be of help! I wish you the best on your project! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. My name is Genesis, but I go by Jay 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Very impressive. You have a great method of explaining at all levels.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 🙏🏽😊 have a great weekend!
I agree, he did a great job explaining the steps
looks great, will be doing our bathroom floor soon . Thanks for the video.
Second time watching this one! About to do my bathroom and this is so helpful!
Great job. Very straightforward explanation. Thank you. Have laid tile flooring in the past but this is much easier.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much!
Very good presentation! Great tips for installing flooring! Thank you!
Good job on verbalizing as you go, I learned!...Thank you for the effort.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for watching! 😊👍🏽
He did a great job installing it. Vinyl is a good product if installed correctly.
That's a good way to transform your bathroom
Thank you! 🙏🏽
It looks really nice. You solved some problems that would have taken me forever to figure out. thanks for sharing
Lots of very good tips and techniques in this video. You obviously know what you're doing!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you for the recommendations and showing us your technique!
Very useful information thank you! I plan I remodeling both my bathrooms.
You made this look easy. Thanks for explaining everything you were doing.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏽😊
this is the best video that ive seen for the plank floors ! thank you i learned some new tricks.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Nice explanation, thanks for going into depth for the bathroom especially the toilet.
I actually just came across this video accidentally and I'm so happy I did because my bathroom floor has been left unfinished for way too long now, it drives me insane every single day but your explanation and how you showed everything very clearly and in simple terms has me feeling confident that I can do this myself (at least decently enough to last until I can afford to have someome do a better job 🤣). I'm a single mom with 2 young kids and work full time so I don't have a ton of time to mess around learning this kinda stuff in depth but this definitely seems doable! Thank you so much for all this great info, I'm super excited to not hate my bathroom!!
I’m so sorry about the situation of your bathroom, I’m glad I could be of help. I definitely know you will be able to do this yourself! If you ever need any advice or tips or maybe run into a problem just email me and I’ll be able to help you out! 🙏🏽😊 fixthishouse1@yahoo.com
@@FixThisHouse... same here..thank you!
You made it look easy. I like the tips on how to fix the cracks
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Great video. Installed same floors. Working on repainting then new trim all around. Looksgood
Thank you 🙏🏽
Like the chalk method around the floor register!!
Excellent video!! Step by Step instructions! Just what is needed for a beginner DIY'er like me
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Best and easiest installation video on vinyl plank flooring
That tile looks like a beast to get up.
Lose the crowbar and get you a Bosch Bulldog with a chipper bit. It makes it WAY easier and faster. Other than that, great video my man!!
You are a lifesaver my friend! I’m about to do another bathroom renovation with a bunch of tile and I was dreading the crowbar process! On my way to Lowe’s to get me a Bosch Bulldog! I’ll definitely try it out and do a review! I’ll give you a shoutout on that video! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
I'm about to do this same job in my bathroom, this is the best explanation I have seen so far on how to do it. Thanks!
But it's wrong.
This is the second one for the basement bat. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
What a great video! We will be doing this after Christmas is over!
Thank you so much! Have a good thanksgiving! 🦃😊
I used the same flooring. Wonderful stuff.
👊🏽😎👍🏽! I agree!
This is helpful and makes me feel like I could do this on my own
I’m glad I could be of help! 😊🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video, you sure explain everything in a very easy to understand step by step method. 😁
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful, great job! Thank you.
Thanks for explaining as you go,very informative. Trying to make a dance floor, and now I have few ideas . Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great final product!
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Just saw the video ,great job guy.wished you lived next door to my house!!
I’d be more than happy to help you out anytime if I lived close by 👍🏽🙏🏽😊💯
Great video! Chaulk lines is all I use
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Gratifying for me to watch this start to finish....
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much much!
Just amazing!!!👏🏾
Excellent video thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so much, great video . I will do it in my bathroom.
Great install. Though, I removed the LVP from my bathroom today and confirmed my suspicion; water from bath/unexpected toilet overflow will travel under the lvp and stay there for a looong time. If you install it over subfloor, expect o find mold after a couple of years under the lvp. I'll be replacing the vinyl plank with tile. Good vid!
Oh no! Yes these are great for guest half bathroom where there is no shower. Yet you can put them on full baths because most are waterproof LVP, just make sure you seal the bottoms of those baseboards with caulk and any open cracks where the toilet sits. Thank you so much for the info and for watching bother! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Oh man I am afraid of this! I am going to to go tight against the bath and caulk over but also worried about expansion gap. I am also going right over existing vinyl stick floor that is a solid sheet. I hope it works!
i’ve done some research and i’ve seen some people using a waterproof underlayment before installing the floors, does that fix the problem do you think?
Looks great!
Chalk method is a nice trick! Great video
Thank you! I’m glad you found that helpful 🙏🏽😊
Thank you!
Wow you made that look easy thanks 👏🏿
Excellent video. Precise instructions. You made it look simple. But believe me, it’s not as simple as it looks.
2 rules…1-measure twice, cut once.
2-go slow…do not rush. And it will pay off.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Love You Man
Almighty God bless you plentiful
Thanks for making such wonderful Videos
Very informative, thank you!
Very detail and nice job
thats it... im going to learn how to do this..because these are valuable tools to know
Very good video, well explained. Thanks for taking the time.
Great tutorial video! Quick question, I saw you removed the old tile and 1/4” plywood layer and you’re installing the vinyl planks on top of the subfloor. But here 6:21 when you cut out the vinyl plank to have it fit underneath the door frame, I notice you now have a space gap between the vinyl plank the button of the door frame trim. Since you can’t really put quarter round here to hide that gap since it’s a door frame, what can you do to hide it?
That is a great explanation. Thank you.
Thank you. I am just about to purchase and install VP flooring. I have been wondering what to do when I get to the toilet. Your video answered my question perfectly.
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
So, you didn't have to add to the toilet flange, the new floor thickness didn't cause any problems?
Man this was helpful as I’m remodeling my first house I did get a laugh though when you said make sure have ppe on and then you were doing it in your socks at a point
Thank you,well explained video,I can’t ask for more.
Thank you so much for an amazing feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Great job 👍🏽
Excellent video and very well explained !! 👍🏼👌
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Beautiful! New subscriber! Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
What a great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you!
Amazing 🤩 thanks for sharing 💯💯easy way u show us
Great job and explain clearly very helpful I will try
Is a bead of 100% silicone enough to protect the transition of solid core LVP and barrier-free shower floor tile? If yes, great. If no, please suggest what may be used instead of silicone, or whether to scrap the idea of using LVP altogether. Thank you.
I agree. Good video
Best tips I have seen. Thanks
Hey man, I love your videos and I watched this whole thing. I have some left over vinyl planks and I want to add them to my bathroom as well. Do you think having a shower + plank vinyl is going to be a problem? I currently have laminate flooring installed. It's a small guest bathroom
Looks great man. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏🏽! Please share if you can 👍🏽😊
Very modern look 👍 😎 👍
Thank you!! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊
Great video, I learned something new
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Awesome video, Thanks
Beautiful job. 👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Best brand on the market
Thanks for this video! I'll be carrying the flooring from the hall into the bathroom soon. Love the template idea!
Perfect job
Been replacing our flooring and using your vids for reference. Concise and straight to the points.
Wouldn't it be easier to install baseboards before the toilet in the way?
Thank you! Most definitely! The less interference the better, It was a little hard to run that piece of baseboard behind the toilet and the sink interference 😅
Man my bath needs all this done very badly! Would you please come and fix it!! You are so good. 😀
I would be willing to help you out in any way! If I lived near by I would definitely help you out! Thank you so much for the support! Email me anytime if you have any questions! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Looks great
Fantastic job🙌🏼
Thank you 🙏🏽!
This is good 👍🏼 thanks buddy
brilliant!!!!
Excellent simple and to the point 😜
Thank you 🙏🏽!
@@FixThisHouse bye the way I was watching from northern Ireland
Awesome video! I did have a quick question. We bought a new house that has laminate flooring in the bathrooms. We were told that if we wanted to add vinyl plank wood flooring we could literally lay it right on top of the laminate without having to tear that out. Is that true?
You are doing good job
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Wow nice I would recommend real tile I don’t know why the owner chose to hide it wow lot of work thanks 🙏
Very nice job and informative.
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Thank you it’s helpful
