How to NOT Void your Warranty on LVP Vinyl Plank Flooring
Hey everyone! Here in this video, you will see how to probably cut LVP (luxury vinyl plank) flooring around your kitchen cabinet feet in order to not void your warranty on Flooring. If you hired a installer to install your LVP flooring, make sure this gets done properly. This is one of the #1 cause for problems on LVP flooring as it will compress the flooring underneath the cabinet feet, causing the material to expand outward and bow up in the center. Once this happens, there is nothing you can do except to remove & replace the flooring. In this demonstration, you will see this is with IKEA cabinetry, so with other cabinets, it may be different, but still the same concept that you do not want the cabinets on top of the floors.

Zip System Liquid Flash Application
Переглядів 55 тис.3 роки тому
This Video demonstrates how to properly apply the zip system liquid flash on zip system sheathing by Huber Engineered Woods. Within this real demonstration, you will see how the concrete foundation, bottom sole plate, and wall sheathing is liquid flashed to prevent a air tight, bug tight, more energy efficient seal that is also waterproof and protecting the bottom edge of the zip system sheathi...
The zip panel would be better to sit up of the concrete 1/2" with blacker rod to separate zip panel and concrete, then zip tape the joint. That way no moisture can pull up though the concrete and damage the zip panel.
Cutting a 45 angle on 2x4 allows the backer to get closer crown for better backing
Wood in direct contact with the concrete? You dont think its a problem?
Not at all. However, underneath the 2x6 bottom/sill plate, there is foam sill plate gasket along with the bottom plate being pressure treated. Any wood framed house on a concrete foundation is built this way. The common thing you NEVER see this step shown here, liquid flashing.
@@theefficientbuilder5386 thanks for the quick reply and thank you for the quick note on the sill plate. We use asphaltic membrane to "cut" moisture by capillarity. About this video, liquid flashing is a must, this is a piece of art what you guys are doing. Congrats!
But i do like the 780 too
Love it bro thanks
You’re welcome! Hopefully this little trick helped!
super duper smart
Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for in less than 2 mins. 🙏🏽 Thank you 🙏🏽! Bro is the last of a dying breed!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Nice
What material use?
Several products out there, just any type of a liquid flashing. This one is particular is Huber Zip System liquid flashing shown here.
I own a body shop and would be really good at doing this. LOL
Could you roll on foundation liquid rubber sealant? It's way cheaper and rolled on quicker?
Doesn’t this just make the floor no longer water proof… seems like this is a good space for water to run under the floating floor.
Does that house has plywood too or just densglass?thanks.
ZIP is OSB with the green waterproofer on top.
Thanks for the video dude
Do not do it this way, slight tweak. You should lift up the toe kick spacer rings and mark for your cuts. Then when done, drop the rings so they’re resting on the floor and will properly support the toe kicks.
When you say ‘take this’ to spread the liquid flashing, what is that tool?
They need to ship this stuff in pails. Shooting it through a straw is slow AF. Slop it on and go.
The problem is builders build, they don't care about quality of work, its to take the money as fast as they can and move on to next job. They don't care after the 1 or 2 year warranty that they have to provide by law. Great Job. If you put the pencil to it, the cost is very little compared to the overall cost of the home.
Should the flashing tape go over the liquid flash or the other way around? Id worry the tape might not adhere to the liquid flash vs the other way.
Flash should go over the tape - called huber to ask that exact question and they said clean the tape with acetone and then apply liquid flash over top of the tape
@@wallacewoodworks9582 Thanks for letting us know!
It all depends. As I mentioned in the video, all flashing should be installed / applied in a water shedding fashion. The people you spoke to on the phone may not have understood your scenario. If applied over the tape and the tape delaminated from the sheathing, now tell me how well the liquid flashing is working.
Did you use a different siding for the outdoor shower ? I have a similar application
Hardie lap is perfect here! Same siding.
I am waiting for a more liquid spray flashing, sort of like spray foam, but not expanding.
The "most secure" installation method isn't that secure since your door jamb is just floating on a few shims. To be more secure, you need to plum your stud on the hinge side and install your jamb directly on the stud. Use lots of fasteners. Shims may still be needed on the other sides but at least you have one really sturdy connection to your frame.
How about washing machines and fridges? Can they go on top of laminated floorings?
Why do you have to tape the top part? It’s going to get covered. Just wondering if it’s really necessary lol
It's a water and air barrier. Water absolutely gets behind the cladding of your house. The main reason to do it though is air sealing for a tight envelope so that air flow in and out of the house can be fully controlled.
How in the hell do you puncture the damn tube? Start at the beginning
That doesn't make any sense. What you just said that it sounds like you're not supposed to put anything on it no furniture no nothing. B.S...
Does that nailer have to be nailed into a stud, or is that nailed into the top plate? I'm putting crown molding into my 100 year-old home, and with plaster walls, it's been a pain finding the studs.
ua-cam.com/video/sU4H9qZ8YIk/v-deo.html
I nail into the top plate. Just be aware of any electrical in the walls and not nail above them just incase that is where it goes up into the attic and the electrician forgot to put a metal protection plate on. Also if the house has been repiped its good to be aware of water line locations.
Not sure if you already answered this but what is the typical labor cost per linear foot?
Question, if you are nailing into the stud and joists what do you do for the side that there is no joist? And the crown molding sits too far off the wall to hit the top of the stud. Do u just use an adhesive
Hey JJ. Sorry for the late reply. The nailer plate is nailed into the top 2x4 or 2x6 top plate on the wall. So the nailer plate is not nailed into the joist or studs.
I don’t believe the motors are different now. DenofTools has a good video on this. As we consumers thought we were getting the same exact saw less the XPS, Dewalt switched BOTH models to a lesser quality motor. There was a short period of time where the 780 had a better grade, but they costed down that build. Now, Dewalt is making higher margin on the 780z
Correct, both the 779 and 780 now have the lower quality motor.
The most awesome job I’ve seen anywhere!
Will you install exterior insulation and also will you put a drip edge with a bug screen over the liquid flash? Very nice video!
doesn zip ahve built in foam on the inside?
ZIP -R has foam up to R-15 IIRC.@@randomrazr
Isn't roofing mastic the same basic product? Couldn't that be used in place of this liquid flashing?
How do you seal the bottom when you have a brick ledge? I imagine the paper flashing doesn’t do a good job of air sealing!
Thanks for the video but please take care of that covid cough.
Why lay a wide area around all the joints and penetrations? Why not just a 1/2" or so at the joint? is it lapped with something else when the Zip itself is waterproof? Is there a minimum width of material? When you tape it off of course you are wasting some of the material just to get a fine line that no one will see. But I like it.
Nearly all these liquid flash products call for 2" past the joint in every direction. I imagine it's based on testing, or possibly code. Masking the area with tape is the mark of a custom builder. You make things look pleasing, by making them look orderly, neat, clean, and straight. But only if they'll be visible for more than a couple days. As custom homes are being built, they may be visited by homeowners, architects, new potential clients, and various other trades. When people see good looking work, they don't necessarily know why it looks good, but the get a sense of quality. Believe me, this kind of detail sells. The trades talk, the customers talk, architects see, and potential customers see.
Could you use laticrete hydro ban for this? I know it’s meant for showers, but it seems like this would be a perfect application for it. Also a lot faster than this zip liquid flash.
Awesome job on wrapping the liquid flashing on the bottom of the door openings. This world needs more builders like you.
Thank you!
So true! Thanks for the tip!

Recall on dewalt dws 780 and 779
Okay so what do you put in-between the concrete and your footer board or whatever it is called? That's what I was trying to find and it sent me to your video.
Salve ma è possibile che il piano rotante non sia a livello con le basi di appoggio esterne? Risulta uno scarto di qualche millimetro? Grazie
Great Video...and workmanship. Question I have is , 1)do you really need the tape border , which gets pulled off anyway. As long as you have a nice wide liquid then that should do correct??? 2)Also, at 7:36, there was not any tape over the liquid flash...did you put later?? 3) Is there PT wood on bottom of frame wall, like I see on inside??? 4) Is there any standard as to how high up you put liquid flash on nails??? Or just 1-2 feet suffice??
Hey Dave! Thank you and Great Questions 1. No you really do not need to tape. It’s a nice guide and it’s good to be approximately 2” above and below seam (approx 4” wide total). However, the tape just makes it looks nice and clean even though it may all get covered up. However, the bottom of the liquid flash may come down lower than the siding and could be seen although it would be getting painted, still looks nice as you will see that straight line with the paint overtop rather than it spread all over the foundation. 2. Yes, it was put on after. You always want to install everything in a water shedding fasten. 3. Yes, the bottom sole plate is PT. It is also code as well. 4. You techinically do not have to do any of the nail heads. However, I do highly recommend it on the lower 2’ or so just from the splash up of water off of the ground that could potentially get behind the siding. Extra protection never hurts. I also recommend doing it around all penetrations, receptacle outlets, and plumbing protruding through the exterior sheathing.
@@theefficientbuilder5386 Very impressive, young man. Most homeowners couldn't care less or even know why this is important but YOU will. Good job
@@theefficientbuilder5386 Is that really the requirement so you have to lay out 4" for an 1/8" crack? Will it peel off or something if not wide enough?
The motors are different also. Same output, but different internals. The parts diagram shows the difference.
Thank you Curtis for pointing that out as well!
