Hi, how did this flooring hold up with wear, spills,etc. and would it be possible to replace a section if damage?

[@imraul3009]

I got heavily involved in woodworking a few years ago due to your content. Its good to see you back in the saddle again. Positive vibes to you and your loved ones, you're a Great Dude. Lets Build Together.

I’m sorry for the loss of your relationship and the hardship on your daughter. Even though the reality doesn’t always match the blueprint in our minds, it’s doesn’t change the quality of the father you can be.

Killer installation! What a huge transformation and yeah... the concrete footers are a challenge and you evened them out, that electric planer did an awesome job... also that resaw on the job site saw. Glad to see you back and that's the way to get back into the groove... It sometimes takes going back to a clean slate for a new beginning both in life and in the shop... it's both a metaphor and a physical reality.

This is one of the best produced and informative how-to's I have watched. The descriptions and explanations are clear and well spoken. The attention to detail and focus are just what is needed for a professional instructional on vinyl flooring. Good job on the remodel and the video.

I added vinyl flooring to my garage a few years back. So much cheaper and easier than Epoxy. Looks great too.

[@rumrun11]

@BudoDave76 Do you park cars on it, or is it a workshop? I’m curious to know how this would hold up to vehicles.

[@BudoDave76]

@@rumrun11 I do. I made small piece about 4’x4’ and parked on it for a month with the front tires and saw no blemishes or marring. So far the only disadvantage I’ve see is that you don’t get the traction you’d get from epoxy. Only cost about $800 bucks.

[@rumrun11]

@@BudoDave76 good to know, thanks. What is the climate like where you live. I live in Canada. I’m wondering if this would hold up to a Canadian winter, followed by a reasonably warm summer. Yes, I could see it being a bit slippery. I wonder if there is some kind of sanded paint or sanded clear coat you could put over top (at least in the area where the tires roll over) to provide a better grip?

[@BudoDave76]

@@rumrun11 I’m in So Cal… but… my cousin in Seattle Washington did her garage as well and it’s holding up perfectly. Her neighbors were inspired to do the same.

[@raleighflooring]

While we typically wouldn't put floating vinyl in a workshop space, I can definitely appreciate your approach to learning. Best way to learn is to test it! Something to keep in mind for anyone else looking to do something similar is to double check that your product is rated for slab install or rated as truly waterproof and not just "water resistant."

[@risco1974]

Good to see you again doing some great work

[@DogHairDontCare]

I did vinyl planks for my dog's room. it had concrete slab just like your garage. I would always recommend to measure width of the room before laying; chances are you will want to cut your first row that you lay so that the final row might not end up being a sliver of width. Looks like it worked out fine for you :)

[@johnpurcell7728]

Glad you’re back. Cool project and sharp looking results. I have two durability questions regarding vinyl plank in a garage/shop for you or anyone else who has done this. 1. How well does the planking hold up to concentrated weight created by heavy tools on feet/rollers? 2. How does planking stand up to a parked vehicle, especially to twisting force of tires turning with steering movement?

[@rb6759]

I have these same exact vinyl plank flooring from the same company in all my bedrooms in my home. It’s been 3 years and they have held up wonderfully. Very durable and if there are any visible scratches that develop, as long as they aren’t big gouges, they can be easily smoothed out with your fingernail.

[@TheSpud1129]

Glenn - DO NOT put the laminate flooring directly over tile. Yes it will take you a bit longer to do it "correctly", but it will be well worth it. I've been repairing and replacing floors for far too long, and can't tell you the number of times I've replaced horrors. Love the channel, glad to see you back! Remember - the sun rises and sets every day.

[@TheJoeFletch]

I came here to say the same thing. Pull the old tile up. It will save you a lot of heartache.

[@joeyjohnson9950]

I agree with you boys 15+ years of doing floors showed me never to take the easy way out lol

[@Dragonited]

I believe he said that he would first float the floor to get it flat and then lay the vinyl floor on top of that. As long as you first scuff u the tiles and prime it properly to get good adhearence, it should work well enough.

[@MChappysGarage]

Needs 6 mil poly at the minimum or a moisture mitigation system. I have been seeing major issues with LVP and Moisture.

Hey, thanks!

[@_WillCAD_]

Welcome back Glen! We sure missed you. I like the look of that floor. It completely transforms the space; I wouldn't even know that it's a garage if it weren't for the door. The paint was a good choice, too, though you'll need to do cleaning or touch up on it more often than a darker color. White walls diffuse the light in a room, making it more even and getting rid of harsh shadows. That's particularly important in a shop, where you need to see what you're doing with dangerous sharp tools.

[@chrisanthony144]

HI Glen, Glad your back and wish you and your family all the best! Also great job on the floor!! Question: what happened to the husky floor tiles? did they not hold up?

[@LadyBlueRR]

So glad that you took time out for your emotional and mental health sending much love & strength young man.. remember all you can do is take it one day at a time

[@JaimeFelipeMunera]

So good to have you back! How does this compare to the other vinyl tiles you installed 2y ago? The looks are amazing... I have installed loose lay planks before inside a house but have always been hesitant to do it in a garage with heavier objects and even a car.

The truth i have been missing Glenn and your videos, You inspired me to learn woodworking and being creative since 2020 when it was lockdown everywhere in the world. By then i was just in vacation after high school, today I'm at University in final year doing a Bachelors Degree in Quantity Surveying but have never stopped doing woodworking. Whenever its time for holiday, I make sure spend time in the neighbouring workshop doing stuff. I hope to own my own studio at home immediately i write my last paper in April next year. Thanks Glenn, Happy seeing you once more.

I'm sooooooo happy you are back AND with the perfect video! I ripped out all my carpet and laid laminate (very poorly) because of your video. Now I can rip all of the laminate out and lay vinyl! One of the reasons, beside the fact that I'm a forever apprentice carpenter, is that I learned how uneven and crooked my floors are. I also found out, too late, how important sub-floor prep is! I'm so excited to add another project to my mile long list!!
