DIY LifeProof Flooring Install 

Thanks so much! I appreciate it :)

Great to hear! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! 😊

Thanks! :)

A rubber mallet or rubber hammer. It works really well but is soft enough to not damage the wood floor.

Good luck! So far we have loved this flooring.

I’ll try that! Thanks :)

So far it’s been great. No problems with the floors so far. We didn’t really have too much of an issue getting it to snap together. I think it’s key to have a rubber mallet to help in persuading it to snap together if needed. Have a designated hammering block so you don’t mess up the tongue and groove for the next row. Good luck! :)

It is actually holding up really well. At our house the kitchen is a big part of our day to day lives. We use it very heavily and with my wife and I, 2 kids, and a cat it has held up really well. I will say because it is real wood on the top layer, It can still scratch like a hard wood floor, so you don't want to drag or slide things across it or it may leave scratches. It is still waterproof and is staying together nicely.

Hey Kat, I saw that too... I tried to aim for at least 1/4 expansion gap and if it was a little more I was fine with that. You just want to make sure whatever molding you are using to cover that gap is wide enough so that the gap never shows. We haven't had any movement on the floor and no issues with expansion so I am not sure if a larger gap would ever be needed. The floor has been great. Its holding up really well. We try not to slide any furniture across the floor as it is real wood on the surface and can scratch like hardwood floors. If furniture is on it I would recommend using felt furniture pads to protect the floor. Hope that helps! :)

It’s holding up really well. No issues so far. I will say because the top is real wood it can be scratched like typical hard wood floors if furniture is slidden on the floor without felt pads. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks! It doesn’t show dirt well but you can see dust or food crumbs very easily.

We really like it! Still holding up great after several years of heavy use.

Great so far, no complaints and it still looks as good as when we installed it.

Glad the video was helpful! We love the floor and it has held up really well! I will say because it is real wood you need to be careful not to scratch it by sliding furniture across the floor. You can get the felt pads for the furniture feet to prevent scratches.

It’s holding up great! No complaints so far. :)

I just bought these I thought they're luxury vinyl but it's actually wood on top. It's called engineering wood not luxury vinyl. Is it going to last? It says it's waterproof.

We Started this Friday afternoon and finished Saturday evening. Probably 16 hours of work for two people. Thanks!

Yes! :)

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to seal out any moisture. Thanks!

Pretty good. It has held together really well and hasn’t shifted. Seems to be waterproof. My 3 year old slid something across the floor and left a large scratch. We were able to basically buff out the scratch and it’s not noticeable. Because it’s real wood it seems to be softer and easily scratched.

It’s holding up really well. It is real wood on the top layer so it can be scratched or dented. You will want to avoid dragging or sliding anything on it. However, with a three year old, toddler, and a cat it still looks great. Our cat spills his water on it all the time and has been waterproof so far. Thanks!

@@SimonSaysDIY awesome thank you for the update. I am glad it worked out for you guys.

Great! With two little kids running on it constantly and a cat as well it Ahmad help up great and still looks like new!

Great so far! No complaints.

Perfect I just bought over sf of the jack hole oak looks real nice can wait to install it on my concrete slab

I got a great deal on Facebook market for 35 a case super deal home depot for them for 90

Water proof, yes. Scratch proof, no. I would say it is resistant to scratches but my three year old was able to put a scratch in it but because it is real wood on the surface a bit of Old English wood made the scratch disappear. Over all, very impressed with the floor. It has held up really well in our kitchen. It is real wood on the surface so similar to hardwood flooring you want to be careful not to slide heavy furniture on it without felt or rubber feet. Thanks!

No, I chose not to this type of flooring has a mat on the bottom of each board that is similar to the underlayment products. Also, without the underlayment, this flooring matched up perfectly to the elevation of the connecting floors so I didn't want to add any thickness to this floor. The floor has held up really well so far :)

@@SimonSaysDIY , thank you for reply, it’s so confusing with underlayment, being recommended by others, then at Home Depot was told Not to use any underlayment, but at the same time? Home Depot is selling Lifeproof underlayment, among other brands like quiet walk. Either way I have a few squeaks and leveling to do.
