I keep seeing installs on concrete without moisture barrier- is it needed since nucore is waterproof?
@jonesknows hi Tim, I am doing 2000 sq ft and really like the price and features of NuCore product, but I am concerned about the denting and “softness” I’m reading online. Would you say this is a great product you trust? TYSM!
Looking into installing the NuCore myself. Do I need to use an underlayment to install this floor? Floor and decor recommends the "Sentinel protect Plus underlayment. " But it is pricey. Is it ok to install without the underlayment?
Getting ready to install Nucore in my house in a couple weeks so wanted to get an idea of how installation went. Awesome video, but honestly what stuck out most is that old wood floor. My grandmother had that old flooring in her house and I remember as a kid helping strip it and relacquer it. Where was Nucore then?! Lol
Thanks so much for these videos! I’m installing 600ft of NuCore Cabinwood this weekend, and these vids gave me some great tips!!
How much did you cut off 1st, 2nd and 3rd starter rows to begin with? Just enough to have staggered end joints not duplicated across the rows?
Where do you buy your Nucore? I’m not seeing it on any websites for the big box stores near me? I was hoping to go look at it before I proceed. Thanks ahead of time.
You guys didn’t even clean the original floor before installing suck beautiful one…
It seems like the job was done poorly…
How can you make videos while that stupid saw are blasting on the background???
🤷♂️ so stupid if you ask me!
Getting ready to start our new floor for the first time I live in Las Vegas should be installing it in about two weeks so if you decide you’re going to Vegas to have a good time give me a holler maybe you can give me some advice I love your videos I watch them all the time
Installing SmartCore Ultra (Lowe’s) in my basement in Utah (Dry climate) Do I need a vapor barrier to put down before the vinyl plank? Thanks for all the videos!
Hi. From NJ. Thanks for the videos. Very helpful. Question: before deciding on color, we bought a single box to layout first to see if we like it. 5 of the 10 panels have the same wood grain pattern which I don’t like. We have Spalted Maple. I think you said to shuffle boxes during the installation. Do they have different patters in each box? Thanks.
I’m about to put some in my kiddo’s room right now. Picked out mixed cabinwood. Ripping out the old carpet, foam, tack strips and old baseboards was a lot of work, but next time, I’ll be more efficient. So here we go!
How did you cut the first 3 starting planks to get the random look? You cut a small piece off the 1st plank at the very start but how much am I cutting off? Measurements please. Thank you
What is the color that you’re using? I love it!
I noticed you’re not tapping with a mallet along the long joint. Is there a reason you aren’t. Every other install video they do that on every plank…
Was this filmed at ASEB in Berkeley?
Which end do you start with against the wall ! The bigger tongue or smaller tongue against the wall ! Email me at titogiallonardo@rogers.com thanks.
Everyone who makes these DO IT YOURSELF vinyl floor installation videos is hell bent on telling everyone how easy it is. Well, it isn’t…. especially of you’re inexperienced.
Do you need moisture barrier with lvp
Hello,
I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to see my other comment but do you have any experience with Lowe’s ProCore Plus vinyl brand? I am thinking about getting it but the wear layer is only 12 mil compared to NuCores 22mil. Is there a way to contact your directly for questions?
My necore vinyl plank has a corked padding on the back to from floor and decor mines whislting hills, installing over concrete. Should i use a exstra padding underlayment underneath. I installed my LVP over old hardwood floors and used a padded underlayment. It feels like it had to much give and flex. Can i just install the LVP flooring over the concrete subfloor with a plastic vaper barrier?
I had to pull LVP up recently wood floors under where warped. So I’m hoping to do it right this time around i was hearing a rice crispy sound when i had the plastic 6 mill recommended underlayment idn if it was do to the old hardwood unleveled or the underlayment. Thank you for these videos
Excellent and simple explanation to the point,seen bunch of vids but u’s make more sense. Big Thks.
Hey man, I had a leak in my bathroom which caused a few slats of the nucore vinyl flooring to bubble in my hallway, what would be the best way in replacing those/repairing those? I have plenty of slats leftover, any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to figure out the best approach before I just pull them out.
I can’t watch because of the annoying buzzing in the background!!!!
OK, I’ll guess I’ll be the one to address the elephant in the room. I understand that vinyl plank flooring has its uses especially if you’re installing over an ugly concrete slab or plywood substrate. Why on earth would you install vinyl plank flooring over real hardwood floors instead of refinishing the real hardwood floors?
