You will also be able to share drawings with me and I will help you get started.
Installing the First few rows of plank
The first few rows can be a challenge to get together and then into their proper position
and if done correctly you can expect a smooth installation.
This step is the key to your entire installation and in this video, I will guide you with a few but, simple steps
Installing into Multiple rooms AVOIDING TRANSITIONS
Most installations consist of multiple rooms
I am sure that most would agree that it would be nice not to use transitions in those doorways.
This can be done!
and as a matter of fact, this is exactly how I do it on all of my installations and you can too.
I will show you how to flow the plank into other rooms without using transitions.
If this is done correctly, you will never have an issue.
Installing planks into doorways
Doorways that go into closets, bedrooms, stairways, exterior doors and ect….
They don’t have to be difficult!
I will show you a few tips that I use to help make this an easy task for you!
Installing plank in a hallway
Hallways can be the biggest challenge in a Laminate or Vinyl Plank installation.
There are doors, closets, twists and turns and a lot of cutting involved.
I have suffered the tears of a hallway installation and you do not need too!!
I will show you how to do this the easiest way possible. I have developed a method that simplifies a hallway installation. I know this video will be a lifesaver for you!
Easy Measuring Guide for all plank cuts
I will show you how to easily measure cuts that need to be made from row to row.
I will also show you how to mark and cut planks that go against walls, into door jambs, around corners around vents and more.
All by using one quick and easy technique.
Floor Prep
Most projects need some sort of floor prep done before you can install your plank.
There are some projects that need just a little prep and some that need a major overhaul to the floor.
That is okay! I got you covered here. I will share with you some great techniques and tips on how to get this done.
I will also share with you the products you should use so, you don’t buy the garbage that is out there.
I know that this can be overwhelming to anyone who has never done this before but, with my help and my video, you will definetly get you through this.
Installing Plank in rooms with angles
A project with angled walls and cabinets can be enough to scare any DIY’er and even a PRO away from trying this on their own.
DON’T LET THIS SCARE YOU!!
Relax, because I have just the video for you! I will walk you through many different situations that will apply to your situation.
I will share with you some super easy methods to get you right past these angles. They are really not as tough as they would seem to be.
Transitions
I will share with you where transitions are needed and where they are not.
I will also show you the different types of transitions that are available to you and how to install them.
Sadly, most of the time a transition that is needed, needs to be modified some way or another. But the good news is, I am here to help with that!
I share many tips with you on this subject and I will help walk you through it.
