How To Install Luxury Vinyl Tile 

Love it!! Your videos are amazing you explain every single step thank you!!!

Love it with the grout

Thanks helped me heaps in putting down smaller self stick vinyl tiles Cheers.

Amazing job 👌 I am feeling confident to do it by myself after watching this video

Great instructions! I think I'm ready to try this project. Thank you!

So thorough. Great video.

That was the easiest vinyl floor removal ever! I remember as a kid helping my parents remove them and almost ripping my nails off.

Great video and make shure that your floor is clean befor you lay your tile

It looks great !!

Very very nice thank you

looks great am about to do this in my kitchen!

Excellent thank You Sir 👍

2 questions: How long should i wait to lay tiles after the leveling cement is on??....and how long to wait after the floor primer goes down?.....I am a painter, and this is the first thing I thought of. I know thats a factor in the tiles adhering proplery...thanks , and a great video.

깔끔하고 간결한 설명이네요...

Excellent video man, I’m installing some vinyl tile in my workshop this weekend. Knee pads though bud, your knees will thank you for it lol

So if the sub flooring isnt smooth im guessing u would sand it if its a wood sub flooring right? When tile is the sub floor do u recommend a wipe and mop also before installation?

Now, this was an excellent video that didn't omit any necessary information I need to know, EXCEPT FOR how to do cut-outs for the HVAC vents. I guess I'm on my own, to figure that one out. Time to lookup more videos. :)

Lowes, please make videos for rental. Things we can do temporary and take off when we move please. There are many video here on youtube but they are amazon product. I love shopping in store in i can

You can invest in a J roller. They are small and not expensive. You can just lean on it to apply pressure and roll over each tile as you put them down.

I think I’ll ‘go ahead’ and try this.

Thankfully. Mr.

nice job!!

Hot damn that's gotta be the easiest home improvement project there is aside from painting. Not QUITE as nice as ceramic tile but so much easier and cheaper.

Very good

My kitchen has a very odd shape, angled cabinets and nooks and slanted walls. How do I measure lay out the vinyl don't know how to center and the slanted sides and angles. How?

Can we use the same grout like we use with the granite and ceramics?

the thing is, shoe moulding is a shortcut but removing the baseboards looks so much better

Hi what is the vinyl installed originally at the beginning of the video? thanks

awesome video! when you acclimate your flooring MAKE SURE IT IS UNWRAPPED. if you just chuck the box in there is won't do anything and you'll floors could buckle or shrink and you wasted all the time and money.

Nice

Cool

11:28 can you show more in depth how you did that trim?

Great video. Thanks!!. Question.. I'd like my living room and hallway to be vinyl planking and my kitchen to be the vinyl tile and the bathrooms. What kind of separationer or divider would I used from vinyl wood to vinyl tile. Or would I just do my Living room, kitchen and bathrooms all the same luxury vinyl planking? THX 😊😎

I needed this. I have a very uneven linoleum in my kitchen, it's so thick I'm not sure I will be able to cut it..

pros make it look so effortless

I would probably make sure the patern of the tiles is running in the same direction too.

People come here to bash vinyl. It's nice for what it is. Sure tile will last 100 years, my grandparents moved bought a new house in the early-mid 70s. The 4in square blue tile bathroom with blue cast iron tub, blue sink and blue toilet looks absolutely new! I mean perfect! Tile will last, no doubt. Probably will get outdated. I'm remodeling a whole house now. I've had 3 back surgeries and tile hurts my back so I'm not even going that route. Today's vinyl is way better than just 15 years ago. Just high as hell.

Translation for non Americans. 1/8 of an inch is around 3mm.

I installed flooring for 31 years and we never did any of your suggestions, first we started in the middle and payed tile in a pyramid style, this insured it stayed straight and true. Installing tile in a straight line is the fastest way to get a crooked and out of square.

realy good video;

Shouldn't there be some sort of seal of caulking between shoe molding ad the floor?

What is the brand for the cement based leveler you are using? I need to level some areas of my floor.

Did he say what kind of specially formulated grout he used?

How would you prepare osb in mobile home for this kind of flooring

What size that vinyl and name of the color sir?

I would never start tiling at the edge of a room if that edge is even a little out of square you are going to get problems. Always cut tiles into the edges.

Literally came from Threadbanger #threadbanger supporters

Yeeeeeeharrrrr

wow that was a lot more complicated than i thought it would be

I'd hire you!

Ehhhhh......me and wife didn't wait more then it took to paint the room and didn't use no adhesive and did not start from middle of the room. And looks great and adhered well. If had a few that moved a tad just caulked the space with like colored caulk and looks fine.

Cement based leveler on plywood.... Lowe’s need to leave it to the Pros!

No roller?

Why oh why do the person that reminds you to check the arrow direction F..s up on the 10th tile? Lowe's i wasnt expecting that...

You didn’t start from the center of the room?

Go the extra mile pull the base, shoe moulding looks gaudy. Plus not all floors are this flat and smooth. Be prepared for alot of prep work in most cases.

What if you cannot get the 100 lb roller? Will a lighter one suffice?

Kenny Everett's lost brother or the 5th Bee Gee?

if that is what the customer wants, then ok i guess, but i am not one for sticky tile. it is crap. it is made for very low income house holds. beside, that junk never lasts a full year after installation, especially with kids. use frog tape on the base boards when you use thin set mix to level out the floor other than that, removal and installation is impressive. awesome video !!

Hmmmm....I think you failed to follow the arrows...with this tile you installed it's obvious which ones are going the wrong way :/

He should've started this project by pulling up the ugly tragic pink carpet and tiled all the floors js

What’s better ...luxury vinyl floor tile or regular tiles? I have different contractors that tell me different things!!

Why wouldn’t you just fill in any holes and do minor repairs to get ready for installation, instead of the nightmare of removing the vinyl or linoleum floor and any glue? Then scraping, then belt sanding, then leveling....then a flooring primer. I guess it sells a lot of unnecessary Lowe’s products. NO ONE does this in a DIY situation.

Skim the floor and lay over it no need to take the sheet vinyl up

Never knew the words “luxury” and “vinyl floor tile” could coincide....

How much it costs

Why is Lowe's so.... Good?

When would vinyl ever ne luxurious! Just crazy to even suggest such a title!

Why didn't you just install the tiles on top of the old vinyl floor?

Why would the manufacture put an arrow on the product itself instead of the paper this way no mistakes can be made that really shocks me

how much expensive

Went to Lowe's, looked at the flooring and decided to get some samples so I could bring them home and lay them out and see exactly what they would look like , but they didn't have any. I asked the lady at the desk if she could get some samples and she said we have what we have, sorry.

Baseboards !!!you damage it !!! Put a simlpy tape on it!!!! :-/

The quarter round killed the whole floor job

Pin this if you love Lowe’s

Why didn't you tape the baseboard & save the cleaning job ?

b

😢so much labor aaaahhhhh!

They're gunna replace the old vinyl but not address the purple carpet 🤮😂

This is not luxury vinyl tile this is the basic peel and stick

I would never install self stick tile again. Eventually the edges come up.

Luxury Vinyl Tile? What an ironic choice of words.

That looks like a total stoner job. Before I start I will eat a magic brownie.

NOT MATH

This is not luxury vinyl tile. LVT has multiple layers including the padding and it’s click and lock like laminate, except it’s waterproof.

1. I was disappointed that he said "go ahead and" only about 50 times. I was hoping he'd go ahead and use that phrase at least a hundred times to make it that much more annoying. 2. I will avoid putting real grout down. Sounds like a setup for a world of hurt and hassle down the line cleaning that stuff, esp. if it's light colored. I'll consider fake grout-line tiles instead. 3. I'm concerned about the slight gap left by the thickness of an oscillating tool blade when cutting out the bottom of door trim (utility closet in a kitchen, for example). In other words, if you're using the thickness of the tile as a gauge to lay the blade on top of, the tool will cut that gap _plus_ the thickness of the blade. And you're just a dog chasing its tail when you start trying to fill in gaps like that with some sort of goop. I'm considering making a gauge of some material that is the thickness of the tile _less_ the thickness of the blade, to try to achieve an _exact_ fit. 4. My dilemma is deciding whether to undercut an _existing_ shoe mold (painted a _perfect_ tasteful color of yellow along with the walls years ago), or remove it and re-install it, because removing and re-installing it will necessitate a huge amount of cleanup detail work to restore the whole affair to its original neat appearance. Would likely have to repaint the whole kitchen to make everything match again. 5. In my case, I think I can get away with installing new peel-and-stick vinyl over the existing linoleum floor (which itself is in really good shape and is flat - just outdated and ugly), as my floor is ALL glued down. 6. If there's any way that I can avoid taking up an existing floor surface that is completely glued down, and then having to remove all that glue residue and flatten out and smooth the underlying floor, then that's the way I'll go. That's something else you may want to give some thought to.

Take the baseboard off Easier way my opinion

Geez, what a waste. That removed tile looked perfect to me!!!!!!

Better to remove baseboards. 1/4 rounds are ugly.

Anyone notice the one tile in the first row? he obviously didnt follow arrows 🤣 Wouldnt pay them a cent to do work, entire place is wayyyyyyy overpriced!

Shoe molding. UGH! Terrible idea.

First

This guy is paid hourly.

Shoe molding! Says you're Lazy, You don't Care how bad it looks and I would kick you out of my house...

There is no such thing as Luxury Vinyl..... There is overpriced vinyl. its like when they said "Genuine Naugahyde" in the 1970's. Nothing genuine about it... It was vinyl upholstery, which is plastic.

Peel & Stick is *not* LVT. Complete waste of time.

Looks cheap

I guess if you're gonna go with luxury vinyl, which seems like an oxymoron... yeah might as well use ugly ass shoe molding as well. What a joke.
