How to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring Into a Bathroom 

Wow bro you have been doing these videos for years now and still in it. No fancy production, no expensive camera or lights, just raw and real

NO filler! - NO selling! - NO entertainment! --- STRAIGHT forward to the hard work! -- GREAT one √√√

I’ve done a fair share of flooring in remods and watched some of your videos for fun and can say you are a true professional. I’ve actually learned a lot of great tips from you and really appreciate you taking the time to post these for anyone looking to improve their diy skills some. Thank you sir

You're such an awesome dude handing out all this knowledge to us mere mortals free of charge! Just tackled my first vinyl plank project and 15 minutes in, I hit a door jamb on an angled wall and realized I was in way over my head. Your videos saved our lives! Thank you so much Joe! God bless and thanks a million!

We've yet to finish our top floor with vinyl, but you've given me the confidence to do so. Your videos have really answered all the tough questions involved. Thank you very much.

God bless you, Joe. I pray that your family stays blessed. I'm about to put plank in my bathroom so this video was very helpful! Cheers from Canada.

I've never seen someone so efficient with flooring installation. You're the best I've seen. Thank you for the incredible tips and methods. I'll be trying vinyl plank installation soon... I hope mine comes out like yours do haha

Awesome! Man, you make putting in vinyl floor easier. I am going through replacing and correcting a vinyl floor install by a "professional" and your tips have been a saving grace. I wish I had come by your channel sooner. I would have saved a ton of cash, time, and energy. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Joe, you're amazing. Very genuinely human being and kind from the way you talked. God bless brother. And thanks very much for the tip.

man, your method for the toilet is so much better than the other video i just watched. Glad I came here. I love how you use the planks themselves to do all your measurements

Amazing, I am always in awe of the simple way you teach your craft, I am extremely grateful for you and your professional experience

Joe I wanted to write and say thank you! I went with a mannington adura max lvp that you suggested and we couldn't be happier. It was my first flooring install and the floor went it with no issues after I studied a bunch of your videos. Utilizing the cheater board was a huge help and made the custom cuts simple. Thanks again!

I don't know how much you charge to lay 24 cartons of Pergo but that is how much you're saving me. Just can't thank you enough for all the tips and tricks. I do recommend anybody following you and planning a project with this type flooring to go ahead and buy the pull bar/knock locking tool for $60+. You're going to need it. Some laminate goes together easier than others.

Thank You…Thank You…Thank You!!! Finding your videos at this time is a blessing, I’ve watched many of them and am very grateful. I mainly paint houses who also dose a little of everything else tile, plumbing,plastering you name it. Plank flooring has always been a little intimidating to me. Your videos have given me the confidence to move forward. I’ve Recently picked up a whole house remodel and wasn’t looking forward to that part of the job, but no more, I got this thanks to you. It’s great to see good people helping us all to be more equipped and productive in these times. Thanks again, God bless…

You're such a good DIY'er help. You make it simple for us folks doing little jobs. Thanks, Joe!

I was looking forward to this video. Thank you for the great tips, this is going to help so much.

Great videos as always. You are a genuinely caring human, doing what you can to help others with your hard win knowledge and experience. Thank you.

I'm learning so much on how to install an lvp floor.....thanks for sharing your knowledge....you're greatly appreciated!!!

Great video. Thanks for all of the tips. You make it look so easy!

I have to do the same thing in and around a powder room bathroom vanity, baseboard heater, and toilet flange on concrete. This video will help me to learn how and where to measure for the custom cuts. Thank you.

Joe, Just a want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your VP flooring videos. Your videos are so much help to me as I proceed with prep and install of my floor. Would not attempt without these videos.

Your video tips have helped me through some difficult installs thank you so much and keep sharing the knowledge I'm definitely soaking it up...

Great video. Our bathroom is my next project after the living room and bed room floors. I enjoyed the tips you provide. Thank you!

You are a skilled craftsman and a good decent man !Thank You for your wonderful videos . Just put almost 1000 sq feet of vinyl plank down after watching your videos . Retired part time contractor I am ,and I like keeping up on the new materials that keep coming out . Where do you get your big rubber tapping block that resembles a float? The gentleman I was putting the floor down with kept using scrap pieces of flooring to tap with and I told him of your big rubber block ! His scrap pieces were breaking the grooves when he got carried away . Our floor came out great ,only small bathroom left to do tomorrow. It looks professionally done ,not bad for 2 65 year old retired guys doing a charity job !

Excellent site. Great teaching. I love your sharing and displaying your faith. You are a lovely encouraging person.

Very good video on every level. Sound, lighting, good explanations. Very informative the way you drew and got the template for the vinyl tiles to fit exactly around the edges. Well done. Jise from Melbourne Australia.

Thanks, Joe. God bless you and your family as well.

Man, great job. You’ve really got this down. I’ve done 2 floors and wish I had seen this before I did those floors. God bless

This is so timely! My husband and I are tackling the installation of vinyl plank flooring for the first time. Been studying your videos and the bathroom video was so needed! Great timing! (And hats off to you for sharing God's truth! You're really encapturing the scripture that says to do all for the glory of God! Love it! Keep pressing on, fellow child of God!)

Great information for alot of tricky cuts. You make it look easy with your expertise, Thank you !! Blessings 🙌

You are awesome! Thanks for all the good tips and Good bless all of you

Thank you for all the great content! 👍 I will keep praying for blessings for you too. 🙏

Thank you for your videos, they've really helped me a lot! I ended up going with Adura Max Kona Beach for my home.

Great video! Wish it was 2 years earlier, as it would of saved me a ton of frustration trying to make it all fit in my bathroom.

So many amazing tips in such a great concise video. Also you have a great team helping you to produce your content. Really flows nicely with zero fluff! I’m a new subscriber and video liker! Plus I have 1,700 sq. ft. Of vinyl plank sitting in my garage waiting for me to learn how to install. Thank you!

I truly appreciate your instruction. It's extremely helpful and I'll use this information in my project.

Nice job Joe. Loved the tip for the toilet. My coworker bought a white flange and carries it in his bag for whenever he cuts around a toilet. Seems to save time and it's pretty cheap.

You make everything look so easy!

Thanks Joe! I watched several of your videos on vinyl plank and then got to work on a roughly 850 sq. ft. area. My cuts got progressively better and the tub area looks great thanks to your videos and training. Originally, I didn't cut off one of the clip edges on my cheater board until after I made a couple wide cuts. Then, duh!, I watched the video carefully and finally got it.

Hey Joe, I hope you’re doing well . Wanted to say thank you so much for all of your content, our vinyl floor installation is going incredibly smooth due to your guidance. Forgive me because I can’t find the video where you talk about it; but what glue do you recommend for seams when I need to “cheat” and cut off the locking system on a vinyl plank floor? We’re using Adura Max. Once again thank you so much Joe I’ve watched all your videos multiple times and you’ve been an incredible help to us!

Yes the toietstuff worked great! Thanks!

Just the video i was looking for, for those bathroom tips and tricks. There are many videos on doing rooms, but bathrooms are few and far in between. Thank you!

I like that tub calking method. I'm stealing that

Thank you for making these videos. What you show in your vinyl plank series of videos is exactly what I encountered when doing my bathroom, except for a couple details. I have a master shower and a main bathroom with bathtub. Both have glazed ceramic tile with decorations on the face that make them uneven. Also, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the tiles in the main bath are loose or very near being loose. I ended up doing each bathroom differently. I pulled up all the tile from the main bath and cleaned off the 3/4 subfloor with a grinder. Repaired rotten subfloor by the bathtub, then put 1/4 underlayment over the subfloor. (Underlayment was probably overkill, but gives the vinyl great flatness so it doesn't bounce anywhere. In the master shower, I put vinyl plank over the glazed ceramic tile. There are a couple high-use areas that have a little bounce, like in front of the sink. When I installed it, I started at the back of the room and worked out to the door. So, I will probably pull in back out and use that floor leveler you showed in another video. So 2 questions: Is there a better floor leveler than what you showed in another video for glazed ceramic tile? Nothing sticks to this tile because the glazing is so smooth. So, I'm worried if I use a floor leveler, it'll just come off after some use. Other question is where to stop in the doorway? My doors open into the bathroom, so I'm thinking about putting the transition strip under where the door closes. Then from the stop outward, will be carpet for the bedroom. Sorry for the long post, but would love to hear your experiences here.

Thank you for tip I plan to put vlny plank at home soon

Just about to do this, thanks so much!!

Looks great!

Just got my 1,200 sq ft of vynal planks delivered yesterday. They are giant planks at 10"wide x5.5 ft long by 12mm thick. Never used such big planks and not sure if that's going to make it harder or easier but I'm guessing it means a lot more cutting. I'm thanking God that I found your channel. I did my entire 1,000 Sq ft basement last weekend and it turned out great. Next week is this for upstairs and into hall bathroom so again, I'm rewatching all your videos!

Just want to say thanks for all the videos!!!

Impressive to say the least, great tips from a experienced installer. Thx for sharing

Thanks, great tips

I'll be starting my project soon. This is so helpful. Thank you.

Love the chalk tip. Your very talented. Thank you!

Giving out all the great tips. Well done and thank you very much. 🙏

Congratulations, you work very well, I'm a floor installer too, you work very, very well!

great video and tips. You do good work. Sad to see vinyl going over hard wood but have to do what the customer wants.

Watching all your videos gave me motivation and courage. The number of subscribers will reach 100,000 soon! I can't wait for the next video!

Nice tips, Thank you! God Bless!

Great video! Thanks for sharing Ouch it was hard to see that beautiful hardwood floor being covered up.

I've watched several of your videos now. If only everyone on youtube produced such useful content! I'm considering some type of vinyl plank or stranded carbonized bamboo for my house. I found it very interesting that you do not typically use transitions for doorways with the floating vinyl, which I always thought were required, but a serious downer for floating floors. Can floating stranded bamboo flooring be installed without transitions? Also, how do you install the toilet so not to anchor that part of the floating floor?

Thank you for this channel ! It's a super help !

Thanks again, Joe! God bless you!!

Hi Joe… Appreciated the video on your favorite LVP flooring you did earlier in the year, thanks. We are having to replace most of the flooring on the first floor of our three-year-old house because of some water damage to about 15% of the continuous flooring. The builder used cheep Mohawk wood laminate and the style is out of production, so we need to replace 100% of our floor. One contractor suggested using Home Depots Life Proof LVP and only remove the damaged floor (it's a slab) and install the new flooring over the existing wood laminate. And put some kind of product over the area where the damaged floor was removed to level it to the remaining floor. Any thoughts on that??? Thanks, Gary

Great work👍🏻

Another great video. Thanks. I haven't started getting notifications and I have been subscribed for about 3 months.

I just ordered some Cali white aspen vinyl pro to do my entire first level and have watched several videos to prepare. Yours are IMHO the best and cover the prices from A to Z. I'm excited to get going on it and will be consulting your channel during the job, I'm sure. Thanks for the time and effort, and caring, you've given all of us DIYers. It is very much appreciated. 🙏 I do have one question, though. The salesperson told me I do not need underlayment or vapor barrier under my planks, which are going over a concrete slab here in my townhome. But other sources say I need a vapor barrier. I'd love to get your opinion on this.

Good job Joe.

Yet again more great tips and techniques!

Your videos are extremely helpful, thank you for the content. Do you have any video of installing vinyl on stairs the tread cap?

Thankyou for everything. I have ben installing the hard way for years.

That was an excellent video. Probably the best and most helpful when I've watched on click lock flooring.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Getting ready to try and install lux vinyl. Thank you for all the great videos !! I see you always marking the vinyl with a marker. Doesn’t this leave marker marks on the flooring? Or are you using drymark markers or other special markers so it cleans up easier?

Super video lots of tricks to use. Thanks for your time

always great! thank you for making great educational videos

I wish I would have came across your channel when I did my first room. Finished my dining room and the part of my kitchen. I wish I had started my planks in the first room differently as in same direction as the dining room. I know it is preference. I started the opposite in dining room and used a T strip where the first room ended. The reason was I don't have money to purchase all the planks in one go. This way I can move all my furniture from the living room and store in the dining room while I prep the other floor. Installing that plank in that direction was WAY easier and went faster. I made faster progress cause now I know what the hell I'm doing. Another worry I had was my kitchen and dining room has bowed joist causing a dip in the subfloor. We were told it from the steel frame that the manufactured home sits on. With that I don't expect perfection. I'm just happy my dogs can no longer use the floor as their toilet, yes it sounds disgusting but now if they have an accident, clean up will be a breeze. Your videos really helped my hone my DIYer skills.

Great job Sir. I’m a flooring installer as well and you really remind me of myself because of the way you take pride in your work. 👍🏽

These are great videos, even the caulking tips were helpful.

Awesome tips! Thanks a lot 👏👏

Absolutely love your videos! You are so easy to understand and your tips especially for someone like me who literally is going to start laying my LVP today. I’m doing a standalone small bathroom that has turned into a bigger project than I originally thought it would be. I bought a vanity that I wanted to put in, long story short when I remove the vanity there was no laminate under it it was just straight subfloor. However the way the builder had put the vent under the old vanity that was flush to the floor, there was no cut out in the toe kick and the condensation over 20 years this house, completely rotted the subfloor read through to the crawlspace below. I have been learning as much as I can through u tube. I cut out all of the rotted board and put in a new piece of OSB. I have done the insulation underneath the floor, filled and caulked any little gap, down replacing the toilet as well since I went that far. Good thing is now I just have a 40 sq ft bathroom roughly. I have put around the vent and a corner. I’m trying to figure out about this u channel for the transition to the carpeting in the hallway. Hopefully I can find some thing in your playlist for that. I also have an underlayment to put in since I’m gonna be right on the subfloor. I’m gonna try to find your cheater board or marker board because that seems to be very helpful. Wish me luck I’m a bit nervous but willing to try versus paying someone. Thanks so much And love the blessings you always give in the end I think that is awesome! Thank God for you too! 😊🙏✌🏼

well executed , I love your tutorials ....

Great Video!!!

Great tips! Thanks!!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your videos! Great content!! Cheater board is the tool!!!

Amazing video Thankyou for sharing Sending Support

Amazing Job........THANKS for sharing!!!!

Whew, lots of goodies in there!!

Great tips. Thanks. Ever run into an area where you are going around an island or around multiple walls/into other rooms then coming back to connect (without having to use a transition)?

sweet job on the vid and the how too. I’ve been installing Lam and LVP the last 15 yrs. You hit it out of the park. Curious have you seen or tried the Carpet seamer reverse tape method for changing direction of the groove and tongue. Man that reverse drop is a killer after a few rows and you’ve got a 10x12 room to reverse lay. Some of those product splines are cheap and they fall apart fairly easy. You get 1 crack at it, then its either glue them in or grab another plank to replace it.

Thank you

Nice job!

So nice to see a hard-working man that believes in God and family thanks for the tips

Outstanding video...I'm doing this same thing today.
