Nope. Even though you hear not to run a stair this is the classic way pros used to run it. My dad floored for 30 years and helped me on my home. It’s not lazy it actually takes more time to set up since every piece in the beginning needs to be cut 6” apart. Once all rows are started then the full prices begin.
Although you're partly correct - starting the next row with the offcut, will get you a staircase exactly the same because the room remains a constant width, so each offcut will be the same amount longer each row. The right way to do it is either random starts, or every 2nd/3rd row offset.
That pattern looks “laddered”, meaning, The joints aren’t randomized. - The After looks good. But does it look good from far or far from good? - If it works, it works, but I have questions.
I am installing this same plank in my basement. I use a scrap 2x4 to evenly distribute the pressure from the mallet across the locking mechanism. They damage very easily.
no need for glue on this application. the floor looks pristine. there is absolutely no reason this floor would fail , so glue down is a waste of time and money. for the record , no manufacturer requires glue down installation on commercial jobs. They recommend it, but don't require it. it all depends on the condition of the sub floor and the use of space. Its discretionary to the installer. also the pattern here is horrible. you never install set size boards in a stair pattern . too much waste and it looks terrible. Thats a rush job . never go more than 2 rows ahead of the other guy. use your cuts to start the next row. virtually no waste.
Laminate is always glued, vinyl needs to expand and contract hence floating floor, you can glue the thin mil cheap stuff that seems to not want to snap into place, if not the corners will lift and break...
Stairway to heaven 😂😂
Why a pattern like a roofer and not random using the last cut of one row to be the first on the next?
Lazy

Tell me you’ve never installed floor without telling me

@@MosheLevavimate, this is wrong simple as, just bc your cowboy dad did it this way doesn’t make it right💀💀
Never ever directly hit the edge of planking with a mallet/ hammer
I can hear my boss yelling for a pattern like that lol

Everytime I see someone’s floor and it’s done like this I shake my head
Why?
Yeah why?? I want to know cause I want to do it my self but I don't know how
I’m pretty sure it’s the mallet straight on the vinyl and stair step (it’s bad practice… as far as I’m aware)
No moisture barrier
He installed it right over top of the old floor
Why they don't use foam jamnbu under this ...
Says in the instructions, not to step them in a pattern. Should use the piece you cut off of the row before, to start the next row.
How not to install flooring
Cost??
The pattern looks bad. Try using a random pattern next time
No it does not. A lot of flooring companies still use this pattern and others to this day.
Whats random? Is that when 1 piece ends a row and the other price begins the next one?
@@nczioox1116 exactly
Don’t u have to use spacers? Or when the room temp changes they will pop?
So how many inches apart from each seem 8 inches?
Can you tell me where can I get good viynal flooring like this one please
no vapor barrier?
Vinyl flooring doesn't require underlayment because it's built in the plank...
Could’ve put a pattern in
Vinyle or laminate
Will be trying with insulation thanks for showing
Nice ima take up a trade in this, this is pretty cool awesome job on the video and flooring!!😃👍

Damaging the ends with that mallet😅 #Rookies
Why isn’t there any insulation ?
Hello, there is rubber underlayment attached to the back of these planks so additional insulation is not needed.

Isn’t it laminate ??

Hello how can I get your information?
Hi, visit www.magnusflooring.com
So this needs to glue ect?
No my friend this is what you call a floating floor. No glue required.
C’est beau 😻
Great video
Flimsy like bacon pos flooring
Stp je veut installer le plancher à ma maison merci
고수의 향기가...
During work is different than the after, must have had to tear it out and redo 😅
Rate kya ha
That’s not the proper way to stagger your floor
What color is this
This is how I move but I'm not sped up.
Omg. Wrong. Steps flooring lol
You just staircased the crap out of that.
I'd have that ripped right out.. Poor work.. The stairway to heaven is such a bad look
"Staircasing" the layout. Going to create an 45 angle line . Going to look like crap
Wrong product for application. Commercial flooring should always be glued down.
Not lvp
Facts , it will separate and start cupping within a yr
@lawman8877 especially lvp. Laminate would be OK. Floating lvp fails in commercial applications all the time
Laminate is always glued, vinyl needs to expand and contract hence floating floor, you can glue the thin mil cheap stuff that seems to not want to snap into place, if not the corners will lift and break...
not true bro. not all commercial flooring. every situation is different
Co třeba igelit proti vlhkosti a miralon
It’s not vinyl man it’s hybrid, how can you claim you lay floor when you don’t even know what your laying
Wrong!!! 😞
Another floor laid wrong! 🫣
Entire room on a stair case, what a waste of money
Todo escaloneado😂😂😂
Wow
A bunch of Jacklegs
Should be staggered RANDOMLY.... horrible layout 😞
Something ain’t right here
Don't *EVER!* let the ends of the pieces come so close to eachother, you amateur😂
😂😂😂
🔥🤍
Wrong pattern...terrible job
Bad. Dumb wrong.
Luxury plank, poor installation
WHAT GARBAGE INSTALL IS THIS🤦♂️🤦♂️
Noooo
Meh
Phone no
"luxury"
😂😂😂
