This video saved my bathroom DIY. Everything was back in place, and LVP is textured. I bought the suction cups, but it couldn't overcome the texturing. However, I bought some mounting putty (like for posters) and shaped it around the rim of the cup. It required some downward pressure to fill in the gaps before I locked the cup, but it worked like a charm! Thank you thank you thank you!

I could not find any videos on your channel that deals with sheet vinyl. What do you recommend laying sheet vinyl that covers two levels. I've removed the carpet from living room and the sub floor is plywood and then then to kitchen that has vinyl tiles that are glued down. My question: Is there a product that I can apply that will transition the two levels and make it to where you will not know it has changed levels?
@pedromonsivais866
@pedromonsivais866 2 года назад
How thick is your glued vinyl in kitchen? If it's 1/8" you can get away by feathering from vinyl to osb using floor leveler, just make sure you make the transition about two foot wide, so it is almost unnoticeable to the foot when going from living room to kitchen. After patching that, you'll need to put 1/4" floor underlayment in the whole area where the sheet vinyl goes, I know, this part is kind of expensive but necessary, never ever install sheet goods directly over osb. Then install the sheet vinyl using the recommended adhesive for that especific vinyl. If it is felt backed, use adhesive for felt back, if it is the sheet vinyl that requires pressure sensitive glue, use that glue, this step is crucial. I would try to remove the kitchen vinyl if possible, that way everything is level, if you opt to do that just make sure that you don't leave an sticky residue before the 1/4"underlayment. If your kit area floor is sticky you can emboss it using a very thin layer of floor patch, just enough to neutralize the old adhesive, otherwise it will give you a clicking sound every time you step over the underlayment in that area, some folks just put roofing felt paper over the sticky floors to neutralize and then install the 1/4" underlayment. My guess is that you already have a 1/4" underlayment plus the vinyl in kitchen area, about 3/8" total height, if that's the case, just install underlayment in living room areas to kind of match the height and then patch between them. I always try to remove the kitchen floor if possible but sometimes it is a lot and is better to just leave it alone. I hope everything made sense and didn't confuse you.

I know you use big stretch for movement, but isn’t movement the problem? Don’t you want the movement to stop so it stops separating?
@mrandreabargnani
@mrandreabargnani 9 месяцев назад
You need to allow floating floors to expand/contract, so movement is required. The cause of the original problem was most likely due to lack of space to move around or uneven subfloor

Do CA glue.... attach boards...spray on accelerator....it wicks through the joint...if you add it while the joint is open it'll set up quicker than you can pull it back together....I wouldn't recommend drilling holes to inject anything....drill a hole...and inject something... warranty is over

Well this is nice but my boards worked loose along the long side due to slightly uneven floor I think. not the short side. Long side doesn’t want to move at all to close the gap. I actually made the surrounding area worse by messing with it with my suction cups and mallet ☹️

Your failing to address that the flooring was installed incorrectly to begin with, you should have the tung and groove engaged on all sides of the piece the flooring installer took a short cut and cut off one of the grooves that's why this section is not coupled to the other piece, click together floors are actually pretty difficult to install around obstructions and you need to know the myriad of tricks to get it installed around doors and vents.
