Pretty informative video, thank you. But one of the trickier things that always gets me is the adjustment on the cupboard doors to make them square. Too bad you didn't include that step. You mentioned it but left it out of the demonstration.
Very well done. I am using a glue down vinyl plank instead of the tongue and groove on my concrete basement floor. Does the same process with the vapor barrier and underlay apply?
Sorry not exactly sure what u mean but I do always find it’s easier to install the cover panels afterwards so they can be marked in place and then cut. Good luck!
Thank you for the helpful content. What rail installation would you recommend for hanging three 30” width wall cabinets? I have one 84” full rail and a left over 12” rail piece. Would you recommend trying to combine these pieces after cutting 6” off the 84” piece? Or buy another full 84” rail and cut a 60” and 30” piece from the two full size rails?
I would recommend splitting it evenly if you can but as long as your 12”piece is anchored at each side sufficiently you would really be alright. The More anchors/stud mounting points the better Good luck !
@@calgreco8607 Standard American countertops are 36’’ high. Ikea base cabinets are 30’’high. Add the 4.5’’ legs and 1.5’’ thick countertop and you are at 36’’ height! As for Ikea cabinets or any other cabinets they can be installed lower or higher to suit your needs. Where’s the problem? As for being on your belly for dust bunnies just install toe kicks like everybody does. Again no problem!
When you hammer the planks in to get the joint tighter, what is stopping the whole floor from shifting, since you want to maintain the expansion gap along the wall?
Have you found that this type of seamless installation will cause buckling? My LVP floating floors which were installed seamless just a few months ago have buckled in several areas and the store i got it from said that transition strips need to be placed when going from 1 room to the next.
I have a bench project coming up, and your video is exactly what I needed to get creative with it. Thank you for sharing your skills The bench looks amazing!
You could. Just make sure you have enough room below your counter line for your cabinets afterwards…. You still want to maintain that minimum height off the flier though for the height of the work top
Did seemless on both a 3000 sq ft and a 1280 sq. Ft homes. Really isnt to hard. Laying backwards can be a little tougher depending on the type and mm thickness of the flooring. Spacers are a must. 2 people makes it so much better. Always have extra flooring, sometimes tolerances can be off in the manufacturing, and simply swapping out a piece fixes the issue. No matter how maticulous you are, you are going to have some places that the seems arent 100% perfect. They can be locked in but still be a hair seperated. Sometimes fixing one seem can unknowingly open another slightly. The goal is making sure your pieces are locked so they dont seperate later, so some hairline cracks at joints are not the end of the world. The thicker the vinyl, the easier it is to get properly locked in. Do not use that crappy multi tool he uses, use a good utility knife with lots of extra blades.
I am curious, is this tile you installed “luxury vinyl flooring” with a thickness of 6mm? I am considering using the same method in my small business. I found a beautiful product Lowe’s that I would love to use. I also noticed you didn’t fill in any grout lines in the existing ceramic tile. Is it because of the thickness of the vinyl flooring? Thank you
