Im trying to decide what to do with my basement floor after pulling up 30 year old carpet. Everyone tells me different things because I’m shopping without a guy. This has finally described exactly what to do. Perfect thanks for being a big brother!!!

Thanks for the video. I have recently installed a similar click flooring over old parquet flooring and the locks are breaking away, now I have to change it out for glue down. Glue down all the way for my projects.

You have great communication skills. Very clear explanations. Thanks.

[jbird]

You do sure a good job of being precise in your explanation. Thank you!!

[alsteeves]

Excellent! We have color samples sitting on the basement floor. The install will start soon. Thank you

Brilliant video! Thanks for all your excellent advise. ❤

I have been using the product which has a one inch overlap of self stick glue. These are planks. Very happy with them . They are a flouting floor and water resistant.

Fantastic. I finally got the information I’ve been looking for. THANK YOU 🙏

[vsarroyo]

Very good information. Thank you so much!!!

The prep for glue or click should be the same. Just because glue down vinyl can bond to uneven substrate doesn't mean it will look good. Also, glue down vinyl is typically thinner so you see more imperfections due to telegraphing. The best product is actually 5mm loose lay vinyl. Most of these videos
are made by people that do not do flooring for a living.

Thanks for the information, very informative ❤

i just finished a room with glue down. the floor is unlevel. I'd have to completely refinish the floor with leveler to get it level. The glue down molds to the floor and works great.

I d like your opinion about vinyl flooring on the floors that have heating systems under the floor?

[kickford]

Great information. What are your thoughts about starting with a herringbone pattern. I am drawn to the thought it may hide unevenness even better than straight pattern glue down?
Thanks again for the great video!

question, we are thinking of gettin Cali Flooring Seaboard Oak LVP but the sample has padding on the bottom. Does your floor have that? where did you get yours? What brand is it? FYI the floor we are covering is a 1 story near the beach. all terrazzo floor. It's ugly but in decent shape.

Pretty sure they still expect a fairly flat floor with click plank lvt. On a reasonable subfloor it would be a heck of a compression force to snap like that when lying on a flat on the floor. Its like any job, preparation is key.

[zdravkomomci]

Good video thanks just one question, theres two types of glue for vinyl planks Ive been told hard set hard and soft set which stay tacky which one do you prefer for wet areas like in the bathroom? Thank you.

[Andrico]

Good stuff 100% agree. Wonder if you can glue it down to DMX underpayment.

[dionweston]

Totally agreed. Click lvt is junk. I had a liquid screed laid across the ground floor of my house as i knew i wanted it totally flat. It is. I spent thousands on click lvt (premium product) im a 30 plus year builder, i have laidany many floors, click lvt is easily the worst flooring product ive ever had the misfortune of buying and laying. All mine after 6 months started to break in high traffic areas, afyer 2 years it happening everywhere. The product has a 30 year guarantee but who wants to take up a 100sqm floor again and relay new? AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Levelers are aways an option, transitionless floating floor install is Possible with planning, planning and focus.
For basements the flood possibility plus the replacement ease also ease of installation, I like.
