It's refreshing to see a real professional doing it right. UA-cam is full of people claiming to have been laying flooring for 20 plus years, but obviously doing it wrong for all those years. .
This is a fantastic informative video. You presented the information extremely well and to the point. You are a true professional. Thank you for posting this.
I noticed you used a hand to push out some parts of the bubble. You should try a cork squeegee with a wet cloth underneath it, to push out the bubbles it does a great job and it cleans any accidental transfer and also you can see the damp mark on the vinyl so you dont waste time going over it again. Just some advice from another vinyl layer =)
2 things in your video that I picked up on been a floor layer myself was Tucking thumb whilst using straight edge amount of apprentices thumbs I’ve had to apply first aid too where knife jumps onto straight edge . 2) if I’m flat laying I use a scribing bar to get the cut to the walls lovely and neat ..you do that be before gluing And we weld our joints in the flooring But apart from them couple of things your very talented
I have a vinyl plank floor over hardwood that has failed. I am going to replace it with vinyl sheet flooring, but don't know if I should put in luan underlayment or if the hardwood will be smooth enough. I hate covering hardwood, but it is a kitchen and the oak is black, so sanding, staining and finishing will be difficult to do, plus since it is in a heavy traffic and potentially wet area keeping the finish might be difficult as well.
As a time served floorlayer this is the basics ..I could right a story on what’s wrong with this but I’ll name one thing never hammer a seam to make it fit ..I’m surprised he never used a hammer 😂
Right now in New Zealand we need 400 flooring layers per year to keep up with New Zealand building boom atm and we only getting 98 trainees a year. Therefore tones of flooring work in New Zealand till 2022
Wrong blade for seams.. and NEVER re cut a seam. use a better quality utility blade and hold it so the tip only does the cutting. it will wear as it cuts and you will make it to the end of the seam with no problem. juss sayin :D
You're laying domestic vinyl very light and easy to work with no need for heavy roller for these types of job I also use a broom and I use a roller on commercial jobs.
This guy is an absolute diamond. Nicely and so carefully explained. He's a real technician and an asset to the company. Thank you

Nice heart shape at 3:12 must love your work.. Good job! Very helpful.
how do I do this on particle board?
great skills great details thanks for sharing
To make cutting easier for beginners or professionals you can also use a crain or a Robert's mouse trimmer. For long runs
What if, it's not coming off 1 role? i.e. your space is big but it's patterned? like wood effect?
Q
Why are you using F46
Great post on your craft
Can vinyl flooring be laid on vinyl tiles or does it need to have self levelling, the tiles have been covered with carpet from day one?
Just curious but what country are you working in? I'm a vinyl and carpet layer contracter working in new zealand

So your not welding the joints then?
no need too for that type
You can use a cold weld product "type a" for the welds it's a clear resin that sits between the join or on it
please let me the ' Paste '

You guys are hacks kitchen mechanic at best . You always need a roller , i can see all the imperfections in your installation.
@@thecolourflooringcompany968 and a lot of products tells you not to roll but to sweep
