How to install vinyl floor, sheet vinyl. Easy! Home Mender 

"It's better to cut 5 times too long than 1 time too short." - The best advice in the whole video...and it was a great video.

No fuzz, no mumbo-jumbo, just hands on application with guidance. Fantastico

This is the best video I've seen for laying vinyl.

Got a vinyl sheet kitchen floor that is heaping me! Ha. After years of kids and dogs it needs a refurb. Contacted a local flooring place and their price made me gasp. So I guess with the help of the grown son now we'll do it ourselves. After watching a dozen vids I landed on yours and like most below say, it's the best. It's the one I saved. You the man!!

Best video I've seen yet. I really appreciate that you did not edit out your mistakes. Makes it much more relatable! Great job Dustin.

I have a handyman business in Australia. And its good watch these videos as a refresher. I found cutting vinyl around doorways that I had to be alert and careful on that part....anyway, your highly skilled. thanks for making these

I watch a LOT of home reno videos, by far the best one I have stumbled across. Thank you so much, I'll be watching more!!!

i've seen a few videos on installing vinyl. I find yours is the best. Thanks.

Excellent video. I have done the job a couple of times, but watching your tutorial before my latest effort was just great. It can be quite an intimidating DIY. Your laid back, yet knowledgeable approach takes a lot of the stress away. kudos. I often do messy jobs like painting in socks. Stepping in a splat is noticed immediately and not tracked all about.

I appreciate you cutting a room that's not a bathroom.

I use a curved back vinyl knife to preliminary follow along the walls at a right angle and then come back a second time using the curve back to “break” the backing into place. By using a wallboard knife at the angle of the knifes end, flat on the floor (main body of knife will be upward as you cut), it will cut the vinyl exactly against the wall board. I prefer not to use extra molding to cover spaces between the wall and vinyl myself. If in a bath or kitchen, i will sometimes use caulk with the tip cut off so there is only a small amount of caulk coming out into the right angle of floor and wall.

love the oscillating tool. a scribe (a compass for making circles works great) can help measure contours better than eyeballing, like around the door

I know its a DYI video but I wanted to toss in a few tips. When you undercut the door jamb, place a piece of your sheet vinyl on top of the scrap luan so when you cut in the vinyl later you can follow the base moulding cut and the vinyl will slip under the jamb just like the luan did. Also please dont nail the luan down unless you have too. Use subfloor staples and they should be 6 inches on center in the center of the boards and every 2 inches apart on the seams :D

Used this video to lay my first vinyl flooring today. I did leave a few cuts short, but nothing that some caulk wont fix. thank you

I remember doing this with my Dad when I was younger. I needed a refresher. Thank you. Only difference between you two is that Dad used a 2x4 with old carpet stapled on it. He'd rub it on the one half from the middle to the edges before starting on the other half. Not sure if that made a difference. Thanks for the how to and it helps that you are easy on the eyes to watch. Good job on the wash room ;)

Looks like you know what you're doing. Great job !

Thank-you. I learned why floor people charge so much. Jeez that looks hard as hell

Nice work, let me share a tip, use the back of your utility to press the edges close to wall, then lay your knife flat on floor and cut across..you will indeed cut around door jams, and especially walls, you end up leaving a nice gap of between to one 8th to 1 quarter. And it will fall in nicely. Do a practice piece, you'll see.

This was the biggest help I've seen

Thank you for your great videos! This really helped me to learn. Thanks again!

Nice video. Thanks Dustin. I think I can do it.

This is my next home improvement project. Thanx D!🤘😝🤘

don't know why but this dude is super likeable lol

9:50 "alright I've already stepped in it" but stayed calm like a champ. I loled. Nice job

Great tutorial. You make it look so easy. I'm going to try this

thank u Dustin, have a good swim🙂

I'd love to see a video laying sheet vinyl in a big room, like an existing kitchen! I've got a massive sheet 6.5x4m for doing around existing kitchen units etc and no idea how to start with such a big roll and so many cuts around all the units etc

"Chances are you cut it crooked." I'm dying.

Awesome vid man. Very informative keep them comin

Straight to the point great job

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm laying vinyl in my back hallway. 😅

I've watched professional installers do the job and they recommend curved blades for cutting vynl and get a much neater cut against the skirting boards

Love the Textured walls

Great video and explanation! Thank you sir!

God am so envious of your suppleness.lucky chap😅

Very well explained

Nice, work it work it check it check it, cut it. Like your style D

Nice work and instruction!

Great info, thanks for sharing! Very helpful! Fix that AC!!

Honestly the best video I've seen on this. Thanks.

Talk about sweat equity!! Nice work, thanks!

Good job but why didn't you pushout air bobbles as layer flooring on your final lay?

What do you recommend when transitioning between rooms or between extra large spaces? I'm transitioning from a long hall to bath and both rooms have the same sheet vinyl flooring. Great instruction! ❤

Thanks dude ..... ur a great help!

I'm planning on taking out the old carpet and putting sheet vinyl in my basement, and now I might attempt it myself after watching this! I have a small area where I think my floor dips in just barely...should I do self leveling concrete there or would it be okay to just lay this down? I won't know how much it actually dips until carpet is out though.

Very helpful video!!!

As for caulking under the doorjambs that's a no no...leave a little material and use a very dull putty knife to push the vinyl under the jamb. Same can be done around the whole perimeter of the room if u leave 3/16 of an inch space between base board and Luuan. That way you dont have to use the shoe mold/quarter round to get a cleaner look. And btw always do your painting before you install the vinyl. Nothing worse than having a funky paint line between baseboard and floor lol and for added protection in a wash room or bathroom a thin line of premium clear silicone caulking around the perimeter will keep moisture from causing problems later on down the road. Sorry to have been "that guy" in the comments. Just trying to help as he is and pass on the knowledge 😎

Thanks yo!

I love watching your video's, the funny thing is I act I know how to do this. haha.

Great video, Thanks...Anything else I can use to roll out the bubbles? I'm doing a very small kitchen & will never use that tool again.

Thank you Dustin! I just found your videos. Loving how you just get it done, and you use terminology that those of us who are new DIY's can understand. Loving the videos. I am wanting to replace my bottom kitchen cabinets and do a new floor. Is Vinyl the easiest flooring to lay for a kitchen or what do you recommend?

Good stuff bro!

Hey. I just pulled up my carpet in my living room and some of my tiles from the hardwood floor came up. Before trying to put down this type of flooring, should I use a floor leveler plus plywood before adding the vinyl sheet. Your video is awesome.

I moved to a place that has this type of flooring on but has lots of bumps. Can i throw the same type of flooring and glue it on top of that old flooring?? Would that help with the bumps 😳

Thanks Man, good stuff

How come you don't make a template first on paper and then transfer it to the vinyl? Is that a bad idea? I'm gonna try this in a week or so.

Thank you

Do you wait for it to feel tacky or something for the glue. And how long did it take to install that piece

Thanks for sharing

you are a likeable guy. I'm new to your channel but have watched about 20 so far. lol, my favorite was the exterior shed door that you put in backwards.

Good video sir. 1 question tho…. What shoe? 🤣😜

What’s up Dustin. I view a lot of your videos. I do a similar business on the Peninsula. Small world!

Thank you! Just what I needed to see.

Hi Dustin, I want to install new vinyl floor in my kitchen and laundry room. Do I need to pull the old floor up first? It's just the subfloor underneath.

Thanks for making this video! Gonna try and do all 3 kids bedrooms and the hallway upstairs. Was thinking I'd pay to have the smallest area done and watch how they did it so I could do the rest by myself. Ha! I pretty confident I can do it all myself now. I do have a question though, what exactly is loose laying? It was recommended by the manufacture of the sheet vinyl I am looking at but only in smaller spaces of less than 25 square yards. I assume it's only held down at the perimeter of the room?

I'm looking to install vinyl sheet flooring to the bare plywood/drymax OSB type floor of a cargo trailer. However when you walk on it, the boards give a little, and buckle underneath from the weight. Will this be an issue with trafficmaster vinyl sheet flooring? Do I need some kind of underlayment or will it not be that noticeable ? I don't want it to stretch and bubble up from the stress of walking on it. Thanks!

Learned something lol haha

What's easier roll up or peel and stick vinyls?

Hi, does anyone know what he was putting on top of the subfloor before the vinyl? I think he was saying luon? Never heard of it

Love tbe video wht glue u used??

Hey mr you said you can over lay it over if it one layer on the floor already, what about moisture control?

Hey man, I'm just about to fit vinyl in my bathroom, what type of wood boards should I fit? Some say plywood some even say waterproof ply. Also what thickness should they be? Thanks

Doing some research before we start our project....what is this "luon" you are talking about?? we have just a subfloor to begin with.. do we need "luon?" thanks!

Loved it!

“It’s better to cut it long five times than cut it short once”. A.....men !

Great video.quick question,Do you need to remove old vinyl floor when replace?

It’s 6 inches apart in field and shoelace the seams every 2 and a half. Easier with a staple gun

Hey I have tile and I wanted to put this over tile do you think that would work?

Thank you planning on doing this this month! 2 questions: when I lay the subfloor do I need to put in wood-filler on the seams/nail heads? and also if I dont have the vinyl roller is there another thing you recommend? Thank you!!

"Rock hard" as in USG Durabond 20 (90 or 45)?

I chose linoleum with fake grout lines laid-out in a grid-like pattern because the store did not cut my sheeting square. This made it easy for me to straight edge cut the sheet square as well as match the pattern for seams. Just overlap the two sheet edges and tape them together at the matched grout lines. Then cut all the way through both pieces and viola', you have a perfect cut seam.

please help me!!.. I was swapping out a washer machine and where the hose connects to the cold water it snapped off, it seems like I'd be able fix that no problem.

Hi,. Was that a vinyl underlay uve used? My bathroom just has old floorboards with gaps in.. guessing it will need an underlay?

Surely your supposed to use a hook blade for vinyl.

I cut like that. Definitely cut too much. So then I used a ruler. Well, now I cut straight but still too much 😂 So what can I use to edge my wonky edges with? 😂😂😂

Have rotted floor and window issues

Hi dustbin

Wtf. Ring nailed lino. Just pullit man. Or patch it out. Crazy

i have a wood effect vinyl, should it follow the same direction throughout the house?

Wow looks hot as hell in there! You have my sympathy 😂

Are you around the Fort Wayne IN area ? I need your help

is he going to use shoe molding?

I would remove the baseboards and reinstall.

I'm looking to replace that exact same ugly vinyl you ripped up!

template of paper

What the hell does he keep saying? Loo on? Glue on? Looks like wood to me..

Oh please come help me

Sweat much!

Well you fumbled through it.

Can you do a video on replacing a Single-Pole Motion Sensor Light Switch? I have one in my bathroom that has 2-3 lights hooked up to it. 2 lights in the bathroom (above the two sinks) and the light in the washer/dryer room. I took it off without paying attention to the wiring. Never had one with so many wires. It has like 2-3 white wires, 2-3 black wires and 1 ground. One of the black wires being a "load wire".
