I like these life proof, they last a long time and show almost no wear after years of use. The ones he's using are great because there's no tapping on the left or right to connect the other end, which causes so much problems if you bend the edges. Vinyl flooring is all I will install, especially if you have pets...it's a must use.

@willbutler26394 ай бұрын
🤣probably not. It’s probably uneven. But if the customer paid for it. That’s on the customer for not putting an underpayment. Idc if the product has the thin part on the back that’s NOT an underlayment. The underlayment is for many purposes. Mainly for moisture protection and comfort under your feet and noise reduction. This will creek and crack sound with each step. And will probably need to be replaced again because it weakens the joints. If you get a good underlayment the floor doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Because the padding with give it a flatter surface to lay on and it’s cushioned with moisture protection. I’m not a professional by no means but I’m about to install some in my house in less than a week so I’ve been learning a ton before I even try.

@tylerdurden990212 күн бұрын
The plank has a pre attached pad but it is not rated as a vapor barrier. You need a 6 mil vapor barrier when installing on concrete. It’s a floating floor with no adhesive meaning there is a thin air gap that will accumulate condensation when the concrete heats and cools throughout the year. The LVP won’t show it as it’s waterproof, but the attached pad will sog out, and if enough builds up it will work its way into the wall system. Where are people getting the idea that using a vapor barrier or additional underlayment pad voids the product warranty? Big box stores won’t even sell an install unless they can do so to the manufacturer’s guidelines to warranty the product and their work. This always specifies the use of a vapor barrier in the form of 6 mil poly or a combination underlayment pad with built in vapor barrier.

Hey sorry to tell you that you couldn’t be more wrong about a tapping block on life proof.

They even sell a lifeproof box that contains a tapping block spacers pull bar and a specific rubber mallet made just for their life proof product. The red side is to use when tapping it in with the tapping block and the gray side is to tap down the drop lock short butt seam. Just a little 411 for you so you don’t misinform people out there.

As long as that you stagger the floor and they have over 6 inches of over lay the floor will hold. The Reason why you want to stagger the joint to create a better hold on the next floor piece.
