How to level a wooden floor 

I know makes it flat but not level

Exactly what I thought, it's still just as level as it was before.

Not even flat either. With that thin hardboard it will follow any rises and falls anyway. Useless video. Not a spirit level in sight.

@@simonleigh7233 how do you suggest levelling floorboards perfectly?

Lmao

That would be fine (& would save you a lot of time!), assuming you're using brad nails of the same length as those advised in the video (20mm). Hope this helps!

plenty powerful~

No they won't. You'll need to screw them down or hammer the existing nail in further.

Hi there, you will need to secure the existing boards down to stop them being loose and squeaky 😊

bandq it will be nice to know how you do both but the video just lays another layer of material with out fixing anything other than common sense procedures a lot of theories but when you do a floor is not as you were told. My question was related to the video title. So again how you level a hardwood floor like low spots or ramps before the vinyl flooring.? Please answer if you know how.

bandq im not upset but why you ignore the question and answer on a different subject if you don’t know the answer just ignore it. But thank you for the info

Hello dear, There is any product underlay for Vinyl sheet? after I lay down my Vinyl the floors feel really hard and not comfortable, I don’t know how to explain.

they basically stacked material or shims until it was level.

That's so great to hear! 😁

Hi, Terence! Can you provide some details regarding your query and we'll be happy to help 😊

Hi there, it will be. We would suggest watching our video on laying laminate flooring for more details 😊 bit.ly/2NOFjdv

Hi, John. Good question, you can use hardwood plywood as subflooring instead. We'd suggest using WBP (weather boiled proof) plywood in any areas where wet or moisture might be present. Hope this helps! 😄

Thank you for your response but I didn't make my question clear. I was wondering how the leveling compound "leveled" in and of itself. I am not crazy about pulling up the old floor cause it was original a very old back porch floor that had a lot of weathering on the end boards going out the back door. I was thinking I might put some black felt paper down and then use the leveling compound or as my son suggested today...a 'dry pack' which would be easier. My brother is an expert in concrete for many years and I believe he could do it and would probably do it a lot different than I am imagining how it would be done...and do a much more beautiful job. The back porch is really slanted toward the outside by about 2 inches or less according to what my brother measured very quickly. So would you recommend doing all of that work....screwing wooden shims...messing with existing joists....etc. I see the point of using plywood on top once the leveling had already been done or before the dry pack has been applied. The plywood you are talking about...would that be the super thin plywood? I have that as a ceiling in one of my bedrooms so I can't remember the actual name of it. I will mention all of this to my brother and the flexi adhesive and grout...but he probably already knows that...but I just didn't understand how a leveling compound actually works on any floor. My son said today that has to be flattened out even all along the top and the bottom of the leveling compound goes to the lowest places...at least that is what I thought he said...lol

Thank you...will let my brother know.

bandq no one helps me in my local store

they're literally hard board lol you'll find it in home depot as hardboard. Typically its used as the backer material to kitchen cabinets

? What is the point of this ?

I had a dog throw up on my floors 25 years ago, then I had the roof painted and it ruined the toilet... Lol this is how dumb your post is

@@miker1670 She was simply sharing an experience of having her floor project ruined by plumbing works. I understood what she meant and it has everything to do with this video. Stop being such a wet salad and leave people to share what they want.

@@martingeldart386 I understood what she meant also. My question is what's the point of it lol. Stop being a white knight simp.
