Hello. Where did you purchase the trim where the laminate meets the carpet? I admire your professional work and thanks for sharing all your knowledge 👍🏽

[joeshmoe]

I installed that in a bathroom. It looks and feels really nice.

[joshuawilson]

I get it .. I've installed all types of this product and it looks great and works great

[dees]

We lay a bunch of this in northern Tennessee, great product, prefer laying lvp to laminate, easier to cut faster to lay

[adamnorthville]

Thanks for the tip on the oscillating blade. I was using a smaller one.

[MizzBalleriffic]

If i put this on a concrete subfloor, do i have to add any layers under it?

[howlinbeagle]

How about underlayment? Or a liquid waterproof membrane underneath, so when the water leaks past the joints, it Doesn't damage the plywood? Great content!!!

It would be interesting to do a water test - build a box and use this stuff on the floor and 4 inches up the sides, seal the corners and changes of plane with silicone and then fill it with water and see what happens.

[arkomaxwell]

Can this be installed on the living room and bedrooms?

[splanzza]

What is that as a substrate? Linoleum perhaps? Can that product be installed over old bathroom flooring like tile? Sorry BRT, too many questions at once. 😜

Saw this at Lowe's, . I guess the important part would be caulking around the edges.

Thank you for your reply about the mint tile. You mentioned the niche tile but not the wall tile on corners/turns. What tile did you use? How did you turn those corners? Thank you for the work you do. I never considered editing time. Anxious to see the tile install. It's beautiful.

I've always wondered if those products are "waterproof" as in the joints will hold water till it evaporates, or if it really means just that the product itself is impervious to water...

[Treebon]

Can this be installed on the walls surrounding the shower? Since it’s waterproof?

[vikingshark]

The more I research ahead of my whole-house DIY flooring reno, the less I feel like I know and the less equipped I feel to make the right decisions.

[margaretbear]

It does look nice, but I'm a tile snob 😂

[pkmathome]

But you just siliconed along the shower, so its not going to expand & contract there at all anymore.
