Don’t open every box and mix them until you test a few out!
Other then that Lowe’s always 99.9 percent on the money with these videos, love it

[prentissreese]

what was that sander that was being use on the concrete floor in video, I have a slight imperfections in concrete can I use that tool?

[joeyj]

floating floors don't get nailed hence the word "Floating Floor" at least that's what I was taught.

[CarloBiondolillo]

for a 5/8 Bamboo, staples 18ga or finish nails? I tried cleats 16 and break everything and I am also afraid of 18 cleats!

[josephfoster]

In floating method aren't you supposed to glue the seems?

[balogh]

After installing the floating floor, does hiding the expansion gap somehow is necessary, or it should be visible?

HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS A FLOATING FLOOR WHEN YOU NAIL OR GLUE IT TO FLOOR.
I DON'T SEE HOW IT FLOATS.

I am installing a 3/8" thick tongue and grove engineered flooring. I plan on nailing through the tongue as you show, but not sure if I should use 16 or 18 gauge nails ? Help anyone?

My acacia engineered hard wood floors from Allen Roth are creaking every where! I spent so much money had it professionally installed according to floating instructions. The creaking is unbearable! Any one else has this happening? If it should be glued down then it should say so. Still trying to get Lowes to call me back to send a rep to see it first hand. I’m sick to my stomach with every step i take in y home.

[JustinSmith-hrqg]

Is it ok to staple a click lock floor?

[diegomara]

does anyone know what the tool cutting the tongue down to a sizable height toward the end is called?

[airmsylenam]

Do not buy cracking noise on 2nd floor

[libertadmatos]

This video DOES NOTinstruct on how to install engineered FLOATING floors which require GLUE! It shows a CLICK Floor install. Lowes should rename video or reshoot.

A few bad pieces ? Don't you guys buy from companies that have adequate quality control ?
