Kudos to you. I've watched many lvp videos and read the instructions on the package and NONE of them mention the part about measuring wall to wall first and dividing by the width of the plank. I would have ended up 1/4" short at the end of my room.
Great video! I recently installed LVP in my basement and faced some challenges with leveling the concrete. I used a patching compound to fill low spots, which worked well. The underlayment choice is crucial; I used a moisture barrier too. My LVP has a 12 mil wear layer, and I noticed a difference in durability compared to the 20 mil you mentioned. It’s good to see how tough your flooring is during weight tests. I dropped a 50 lb plate on mine, and it held up fine! Thanks for the tips on cutting around angled walls; I struggled with that too!
I boxed them in using some 1x8 lumber. I will actually be posting a video showing the full process, but it will probably be a couple of months at least.
In older homes a lot of basement floors are angled slightly intentionally, so that water flows towards the drain. So in those cases, you might want to not level it out.
I've been scouring youtube for videos and for whatever reason, I could not understand them. When I saw your Adidas sandals, I looked down at my feet and saw I was wearing the same ones with the same paint and dirt marring them, I realized why this video finally clicked with me lol.
Its 5 millimeters thick. When I installed it in my kitchen, I actually did it just to the front of the dishwasher, which is another option. I have that footage in my other LVP video.

It's an important step! Glad you were able to avoid that happening to you.
Phenomenal video. You absolutely clarified several things for me that were left out of a lot of the videos that I have watched. Great job!
Thank you! Glad I could help.
Great video. You definitely schooled me up on a few things for doing my own basement next month
Thanks for watching - best of luck with finishing your basement.
Best video ive ever watch, great explanations and straight to the point, you got a new subscriber!
Thanks for your support!
What a phenomenal transformation!!

Glad your project worked out! Happy to hear my video helped with your process.
Always such good instructions! You make this seem like a doable project! The basement looks awesome! 🎉
Excellent video. I noticed your support pillars at the end of the video, how did you covered them up?

Great video. Did you remove the spacers against the wall after everything was completed?
Yes! That is very important to do, otherwise the floor won't be able to expand.
Beautiful flooring, great instructions , and a handsome room!
Great tip on breaking up the stair step pattern!
Great video
Thank you!
Amazing! Less than $3/sqft is a steal! Time to transform my basement 😎

Very true! The leveling compound is really just meant for small uneven dips in the subfloor
Great job on the video man instructions were on point
Thank you!
Nice work also..
I wish I had a son as strong and handy as you. God bless 🦅🇺🇸
Looks incredible!

Hahaha, the Adidas sandals for the win! Im pretty sure they make an appearance in every one of my videos.
Looks good.
Thank you!
Did you have any issues with seams cracking or opening due to deflection of the foam underlayment ..?
Well done, bro
Thank you sir!
BBM does it again!
So what do you do when water floods the basement and gets trapped between the plastic barrier and bottom of planks? Not good scenario.
Did you redo the baseboards as well?
There weren't any baseboards to begin with, so I did add them after the flooring was finished.
This is exactly what I need to do. Great tips!
My Bowflex is easier to move than that 45 lb weight.
Best of luck!
No needs to glue the LVP down?
Nope! It is not meant to be glued down.
Is this underlayment approved for LVP ? Accordindg to the specs it is approved Laminate flooring & engineered wood flooring.
It's worked great for me!
@@buildsbymaz is it moving under your feets ? Thank you for your video and answers
@@Sallaire Not at all. I'm really happy with it.
Perfect place to lift heavy!
Planning to go with LVP but wondering if I need to raise my base cabinets to accommodate for dishwasher. How thick is it installed? Thx.
Its 5 millimeters thick. When I installed it in my kitchen, I actually did it just to the front of the dishwasher, which is another option. I have that footage in my other LVP video.
I think polished concrete and rubber gym mats would have been nice.
But way too cold on the feet for a Colorado basement!
