Would you consider doing a review on the base vs the signature?
Don’t get me wrong, I am sure the signature is worth the extra cost, but I’d prefer the look of the planks sitting flush against each other as opposed to having that groove, so I’m feeling very torn as to whether or not the base is just as good of a product!
I have had Flooret Ashford LVP in my home for years. I like the look, performance, durability, ease of cleaning and anti-slip properties of this floor better than hardwood at a much higher price. The 40 mil finish is twice as thick as more expensive competitors premium commercial grade flooring. Unlike a lot of floors the planks don’t have wild looking knots that can be repetitive and too casual. Highly, highly recommended.
Your reviews are so incredibly helpful. Thank you for being so thorough and easy to understand. You're the best!
I’ve watched a lot of installation videos, and yours is by far the most thorough, instructional, and easy to understand.
We have been following your channel trying to decide and pick out the right LVP for a large over 1200 sq ft open concept 1st floor. So glad you did this review, the Flooret looks so much more realistic. Just ordered samples, based on this review.
I'm so excited about this video!! I've been eyeing the flooret products and even ordered a couple of samples. This review just cemented my decision.
Your excellent editing and instructions are so carefully constructed, just like your floor installations. You’ve really helped me. Thx
Found your channel when looking for flooring. THANK YOU. Your videos were incredibly helpful in assisting my decision.
Love how informative your videos are. Thanks for the tool page.
Joe, love that newer trick to bridge piece as you tap it to lock in. This is the first time Ivecseen this trick, thanks so much
Thanks Joe. I always appreciate your video reviews, links, recommendations and especially the prayers.
Am trying to do it all from a wheelchair and cant get on my knees so it's an unusual situation but I cant afford to have someone else install it so I'm going at it alone. Your videos give me the confidence to try
What part of the country do you live in?
This is a great video Joe, I love that you took a product that was already popular with the people going through your LVT video course, and tested and reviewed it. 👌🏻
I appreciate that brother!
9 minutes in and you just saved me countless hours with the leave the first row out tip. Thank you brother thank you
You got this!
This looks like a fine product. I recently installed HD Lifeproof in our living room. The installation turned out well once I got the first two rows properly aligned. A friend recently asked me about doing her kitchen. I'm 69 years old and retired. But if she is serious and I agree to do the job, I may recommend Flooret to her. Thanks for another outstanding instructional video, Joel. Great work!
This is exact flooring I’m getting ready to put in I’ve been watching your videos. Thank you for doing the demonstration on it. I can vouch for the shipping and dealing with this company. They were wonderful to work with.
Thanks for sharing Kurt!
I used a heavy duty, wooden handle Stanley linoleum cutter to score my planks. It was more comfortable in my hand and allowed me to exert more pressure in a safe manner. It stayed sharp enough for an entire 14 x 16 foot floor.
The razor knife with heavy duty blades was janky by comparison.
Looks very similar to some I installed, instead of a jig saw, I had a piece of scrap 3/4" plywood... I used a cordless circular saw set just a tiny bit deeper than the thickness of the plank and it was so easy to cut
One of the best youtube channels there is!
Thank you man!
I preordered Flooret and will wait a few months for delivery. I considered Home Depot Malibu Wide plank vinyl flooring; however, the locking systems sadly failed your test - easily breakable and brittle. Thank you for your helpful floor testing videos.
I just finished installing this plank throughout my entire first floor and I agree 100% with Joe's review. I had great experiences with the shipping of both the samples and pallets. The install was easy. I did use use a knife and speed square to score and snap the planks, but I did have to score it 4-5 times.
Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are very helpful and informative. Thank you.
I just completed over 2000 ft of vinyl plank with zero transitions. I listened to your positivity first and figured it out as I went. I can honestly say that it could not have come out one bit better.
That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing this
@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat I got the Big Dude Hammer Block. It made all the difference
Thank you. Floret may be the one for me. I have a hallway into a kitchen then into a breakfast nook. Gonna have to watch your other video on putting down a new sub- floor. I'm sure I just can't go over top of the old 12" squares as the ridges will probably transfer.
This is the brand and the exact pattern I chose for my basement floor. Thank you so much for the demonstration!
Great to hear!
Joe, I agree to use the saber saw for rips. Bought a nice reconditioned Guillotine cutter for all my end cuts. My past experience on cross cuts with miter saw, this stuff will kill a $50 blade in one room, it’s so hard, thanks
Thank you for the video! I already bought my samples, and will be installing sometime late this year.
You got this!
Thanks Joel and God bless you too!
Thank you!
Joe, thanks so much for all of your videos. I love it when pros share their secrets, I avoided a disaster seeing your video on a Lowes brand of plank that was really crappy, didn’t buy it, thanks
I used your advise when we first bought our house 8 years ago. There were so few vinyl and laminate specific detailed how-to’s that yours were someone controversial compared to the “common knowledge” (no floating through doorways etc). After 8 years we have not had a single failure with our Pergo Portfolio (top of the line back then) laminate, even with 4 rooms stemming off of at the back of the house. It’s been flawless. We went under contract for a new house tonight, and I will absolutely be looking into this flooring for the next one!
Great choice
Great video as always...I've watched several...keep up the good work and God Bless!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always very informative, thank you. I just finished an installation at my house... I am happy with the product we went with, but had I seen this video 2 weeks ago, I would have definitely gone with flooret. Have you heard of Byork.. specifically hydrogen 6 model? If so, do you have any comments. I can tell you it is a drop and lock. The long joint went together like a charm. I didn't really even need a tapping block, but the butt joints were touchy. I ended up getting better results tapping the butt joints and securing the other end of the board in the long joint after by giving a good angled tug. Otherwise, if I did the whole long joint first, the butt joint had some occasional lippage. I dont think the planks were out of square, and my line was as straight as could be, according to my laser. I think the longing system on the butt joints was just very tight. The fork trst was good impact test was great. It's an scp, but i can't remember the ratio. Your videos really helped a lot. I am a carpenter by trade, I even have a few months of straight flooring experience, but your videos were a great refresher and/or taught me new tricks too. Thanks for what you do!
Joe, I just completed planking my upstairs to about 850 square feet. I used the Lowes smart core ultra and couldn't be happier. As you said very durable, easy and with no transitions. Thank you for your videos. I used them believe me...
That is awesome!
Ordered the signature light gray sample box! Thanks!
Awesome video. Even though I've done a few - I learned a few new tricks!
Installed 3100 sq ft of the Flooret craftsman series in the Nakan and Kingswood color lines. No transitions. The 3.35 inch wide planks look fantastic. Your review was my experience both with the high quality of the product and how responsive and helpful their customer service is. Very happy a year later.
I couldn’t have done it without your help and tips Joe! Thanks
Very cool!
Did you mix the 2 colors? I want to install Craftsman and these are the 2 colors I have narrowed it down to.
Do you still like your Floret? I’m planning to install it in a 3000 sq ft house too
Thank you for this review. I was excited to go with Flooret until I received some samples and thought the locking system broke pretty easily. I've been visiting your page for the past couple months hoping you would eventually review this product. I feel a little better with going with them now.
The locking system is plenty strong enough!
Great review and information! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review, I appreciate your thoughts.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Joe! We’ve been procrastinating installing our Flooret Lato Base planks. We’d be more than happy to have you over and make another video! Only half kidding. We’re in Plymouth, MN. 😅 Take care!
Really... can you email me a drawing of the area getting done? Maybe share some pics. I might be interested in working something out. Floormechanics@gmail.com
Джо ты мужик нормальный ровный! Смотрю тебя постоянно. Инструмент 🔥гильотина вообще 💣
I just started installing in a 600 square foot basement finishing. Done about 144 square feet and noticing alot of crackling sounds when walking on. I've heard others online say the same and supposedly works out over time, hoping it will. I used lifeproof before and this flooret is way nicer looking, less brittle, nice and heavy, but it did not crackle like this. I'm hoping it's just the grooves wearing in. I did self level low spots and grinded down high spots making sure in spec. Also vacuumed and swept constantly. Using quiet walk underlayment with vapor barrier since on concrete.
I have been planning to buy this flooring for a while now. Going with Nakan 9”. I loved seeing you test it since you’ve installed so much flooring. I’ll need to get some of those tools you have since the last floor I put in I used a knife mostly.
You got this!
So I thank you for that!, very well done.
Love this video!
Really nice flooring. Thx for the info
Anytime!
Great video! I hope my contractor / his flooring guy takes as many precautions to get the install right.
Which variation was this? Color looks right about what we want.
Thanks brother. I have been waiting to see you review a T&G plank that is good quality.
This is one of them. YW
Thank you for sharing I love these video's Thank you again.
I just started looking for a quality vinyl plank and was heavily considering flooret when i found this video. I am working on replacing the floor in my bathroom, with real hardwood everywhere else in the house. To match the plank size with the existing floors i was thinking of going with the craftsman style. Do you think theres any issue with the narrower planks? Thanks for the great video
Great job very instructive
Glad it was helpful!
Hey love the video, it’s very helpful. Do you mind sharing what pattern/color you used in the video. That’s exactly what my wife and I are looking for
Another great informative video! Joe, was wondering if you had any experience with magnetic flooring
Not yet!
Looks great. I'm still partial to planks that's at least 7mm thick, preferably 7.5-8mm.
this is 7mm. 7.2mm to be exact!
Impressive. Love your channel. Super helpful #respect
I appreciate that!
Nice video product looks great. Would like to install some sometime! God bless you and your family.
Thanks, you too!
Your videos are great. I have a question about Flooret Signature. I plan to lay it down across my entire house. I have 20x20 tile through most of it that I do not plan to rip out. The instructions from Flooret state that grout needs to be filled. I am curious on your thoughts and if you think this really needs to be done. That will be a ton of grout fill to do and since Flooret Signature is so thick and wide I am hoping it doesnt really need to be done. The grout lines are ~1/4 wide.
thank you for excellent information.
Thanks!
could you please do a test on Cali flooring. Hardwoods Meritage & GeoCore Engierred Hardwood & any Vinyl Planks they have. Thanks so much & I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative.
Praying for you. Thanks for your prayers.
Thank you so much!
I just came across your channel and have subscribed. Great content and instructions! I am planning on installing some vinyl planks in my new addition's laundry room and bathrooms over Uponor's Quik Trak hydronic radiant heat system. I contacted Flooret and asked if their Signature LVP is compatible and, if so, would any product be need between the LVP and the Quik Trak panels. They said it was compatible and no other pad or barrier was needed. Watching several of your videos I've seen you recommend the blue padding that you use, My question is if you think it is necessary since it would have some negative impact on the effectiveness of the Quik Trak heating system? Thanks.
Wonderful video
This video is perfect timing for me. I have been shopping vinyl planks for a few months now. I was pretty sold on Flooret in the base model. Still debating signature a bit with the added cost. We got samples, and they seem to be great quality. The only thing that is holding me back, is that the matte finish seems to feel kind of rough, and possibly abrasive. I'm not talking about the embossed texture. In your experienced opinion, is the Flooret Modin matte finish going to be potentially rough on socks, mops, and kids knees? Is it considerably different in finish than any other current vinyl plank option? Also, what color were you working with? We were considering Nakan. Thanks!
Can I glue down vinyl plank click and lock flooring on a upsloap? Meaning I have a small hallway leading to another room and the transition is a three inch step up, I want to put a sloap of concrete down to smooth out the transition for wheelchair entry, It's a ranch style home with concrete floors, Thanks 👍👍😊
Great video! I just ordered the light shade sample kit with your discount. THANKS! Which color did you use in your demonstration?
Soho is the color of the plank I reviewed. It is their Top seller and it is a beautiful looking plank!
Dang I ordered samples of this floor a week ago and just now seeing this video... bummed I didn't get to use your code. Thanks for the helpful review! Deciding between Nakan Signature and Coretec XL Cairo Oak... ugh.
GREAT VIDEO
Glad you enjoyed it
Just installed life proof throughout my main level turned out good but noticed a few spot that have low spots or like bubbles underneath. Is there a way to fill them without taking the flooring back up?
Thanks, Bro.
Definitely going to use this when we are ready to replace our Lennar builder grade material. Hey; which Keen boots are those? Can’t find them on the website. Thank you!
Keen - Dover, these boots are awesome!
Okay- I just repaired a broken hot water line drain. I now have to replace the whole kitchen floor. It is a cement floor. I am trusting you have a good feeling for this Flooret Modin Signature. I am going to buy it based on your experience. I needed a video like this. I had no idea what to buy. Waterproof? Pet friendly? Scratch resistant? Dent resistant? Waterproof? It's so confusing!!!! Your video really helped. Order online? Home Depot? Lowes? Floor & Decor? Lumber Liquidators? Straight from the company? Are they supposed to place the flooring under your kitchen cabinets? You mention a moisture barrier is necessary? Just making sure. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Blessings.
Great videos! I've subscribed, liked, and watched a bunch. Learned a lot. One question. I heard you mention the Home Renovision channel. That guy says to use underlayment under all vinyl planks, even the ones with a pad attached. I heard you say in your 4 Common Questions video that you don't need underlayment if it comes on the plank. In some of your more recent videos, I see you are using a sound deadening pad. What bit of information am I missing? Love your channel and your prayer at the end. I have a RUclipsI channel too. I pray for you and your channel to prosper.
What channel? Most plank companies are now saying you can use a pad that is 3mm of thickness or less. Since I made that video this thickness of pad has become widely available. Prior to that, most pads out there were designed for laminate. I would still be hesitant to use it with a drop and lock. Perfectly fine to use with a tongue and groove plank. I am releasing a video on this next week.
I think a good idea simple and cheap for your pull bar and jig saw is to stick a thin pad on the bottom of the tools so it doesn't have any chance of scratching the face of the boards
Would you say that this brand of flooring is better quality than the Lifeproof LVP 12 and 22 mil?
Thanks so much for the video! Quick question, I noticed that in videos where you have the adjustable spacers, you start the first row right up on the wall, but then in some instances you do the method shown in this video (starting off the wall and securing with scrap). Are there use cases for each, or is it just preference based on the tools you have on hand?
Thanks!
I was just sharing options. I prefer to leave out the first row and secure scraps. And use the spacers in other areas of the installation
Bought 87 boxes, not one bad piece. Great product.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the demo and review,,, definitely seems like a great product,, kool 50% sample coupon too , thanks (-:
Thanks buddy!
Did I miss the fork test. I did see the sand & hammer. Could you comment on scratch from the fork. Looks like nice flooring. Thank you.
I bought the base version awhile back, spent around 1500ish for 1300 sq ft. Super high quality, don’t think anything can compete with it. It’s just not very known
Very true!
Hey Joe, you earned a new sub-. Have a project that I already mentioned. Wondering if I join your boot camp, would I be able to send pictures and see the best way to prepare and proceed? I'm on a very fixed income but want to get it correct the first time. Thanks for your help.
What is your best choice for edges ? Straight , micro bevel ? Thank you ! Great channel
I personally think micro bevel are the best option. Then the joints are designed to be seen and not hidden. When they try to hide the joint, that is when you get the fake look of vinyl plank in certain lighting throughout the day.
Hey man, your videos are great. Down to earth and informative. I'd love to know what you think of the various underlayment options, specifically for basement floors. I'm getting ready to start a project, and I'm trying to choose a product that help manage moisture, add some thermal insulation, and dampen sound.
@sothatshowyoudothat Joel, I tried searching your videos. Do you have any videos on installing vinyl in a FROG where the floor meets up with the opening for stairs? Have a room to do with stairs and a 6 foot space where it wouldn’t meet a wall because of stairs.
So I've been watching lots of your videos, - great information, hope I can remember it all...., so after several months are you & others still feel the same way about Flooret brand ? (about to order 1400 sq ft of flooring) thanks !!
I’m not very bright; can someone explain why you would not begin by using a full width uncut plank against the wall and lay successive rows from there? Thx for these videos!
Great videos. Any experience or input on “Malibu Wide Plank” from Home Depot?
I love Flooret, been checking out their samples for a couple years now. What color were you installing? Soho?
Yes and very worth it!!
Can I install Flooret Signature over tile without filling the grout? I have ~3/16 grout gaps. The instructions say to fill it, but I am covering the entire house and really not sure I want to do that. What is the chance the grout lines project through the plank?
Great video. If we purchase Flooret Mdin LVP with the attached Pad, do we still have to or need to purchase another vapor barrier if we put it on the concrete main floor? I was unsure if your video says we should or if it is a suggestion but not needed.
They want you to use a vapor barrier.
Hi Joe, I appreciate this video you shared as I find it very educational information just as the rest of your videos! I have a question with regard to installing vinyl plank if you please. I am an older guy (72) and am wanting to attempt to install my own vinyl plank. I just had full knee replacement on my left knee this past 27th of April 2022. My question is "would there be any special specific knee pads that I might consider buying and using that would ease up the challenge on having to work with my knees so much? I was thinking of wrapping or taping some 4 to 6 inch soft foam or wrap a foam pillow around my knee that would give it some soft cushioning as a get around to make do. I may find that it might be too much of a challenge to attempt this alone. Your thoughts are much appreciated! TTHANKS!
I also have had a total knee done and the knee pads I wear are perfect for that. They are called pro knees and here is a link to my tools page where you can find them - www.sothatshowyoudothat.com/tools-supplies-materials-installing-laminate-vinyl-plank/ They are worth every penny!!!
@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat Thank you so much! I have made a bookmark and will pursue that in the very near future. Once again thanks for all of your videos! 👍
Can you make a video on how to install between doors with the Signature line? We have the hardest times with our Nakan Signature and it staying “locked”.
Great vid! What would be your advice for stair landing? Im installing Modin soon, not sure how to go about stair nosing - and Flooret sold out my color (Nakan) stair nosing. Thanks for your knowledge!
I am sure they will have it back in stock soon.
Joe, sometimes you rate a product on a 1-10 scale. How do rate this Flooret product? We ordered samples today and used your code. Worked like a champ. Thank you! Tom
I heard you once say using a pad under is a bad idea when planks have a built in pad because it can cause the locking system to break due to flexing, is that the case with Flooret?
Thanks!
Why do you like the tongue and grove better than a drop and lock style?
When laying on grade level Cement Slab what vapor barrier/underlayment would you use with Modin Signature?
I know you need the Vapor Barrier, and Modin already has a Pad that cushions and insulates, but is there something that adds a bit more insulation than just plastic sheeting?
PS: Your vidios are great!
I would use quiet walk, the black stuff meant for lvp.
Do you cross the straps on your pro knee pads? (X pattern) That’s what I’ve been doing because it seemed like that’s how it was designed. After a full day though it’s sore where the straps were.
I do. You should loosen them a little. Honestly, they do not need to be very tight. I have been wearing knee pads for 30 plus years, but if I wear knee pads with straps that dig , I feel it to. These don't do that to me.
Love your videos and the knowledge that comes with it.
I got a question. I’m sure your familiar with Smartcore tiles the ones that are 12x24 and look like marble. These things are tough. That tongue or grove snap and lock is rock hard. I tried to find a video review from you on this tile.
Also who makes this product?
I can’t find a website or a manufacturer.
Also do they make this same quality in a plank?
Coretec makes it and they are owned by Shaw.
@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat Thanks
Do you have a video on this product ?
Joel, been a while, thanks for your videos. I installed lifeproof on 3 bdr, and stairs, one thing for people like me weekend plank warriors, 😂 your hands, knees, fingertips, back, will be hurting no solution for that constant hammering maybe you can get some anti vibration/impact gloves?
Great tip!
Hi Joe
Thanks for all great tutorial comments
You forgot to leave a link for your heavy duty Hammer, even though I’m from Canada, I’m not sure if I can order with your link
Here it is - amzn.to/3EpSeJN
What about adding some gorilla glue to each plank you install so they don’t separate? I’ve heard even this plank can separate if sun hits it
