    Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

    @modernbuilds I am a flooring guy by trade, been installing lvp, laminate, and hardwood for 5 years now and currently own my own flooring company. The reason why those planks were chipping with that block is because when installing backwards that side that clicks in is more fragile and is lifted off the ground compared to the other side of the plank. When I install backwards I use a scrap piece of flooring, lock it in place, and hit the scrap piece that way it wont chip or break the full piece, or i use a bigger rubber mallet and ditch the block altogether. Hope that helps!

    Ive been installing, sanding, staining finishing wood floors for 5 years now. The original wood floor can be repaired relatively easily and as long as the ware layer is still thick enough you could sand the floor no problem. But it isn't as cost effective, and time efficient as the floating floor.

  • @KevinGeneFeldman
    @KevinGeneFeldman 9 місяців тому +1

    My guess why that block was breaking the edges was because when you hit that block against the side, its not perfectly parallel, so a small section of the edge takes the initial impact whereas with the traditional method, you already have it lined up parallel in place before the impact with the hammer.

      Depends on the size of the flooring you are laying. Once you get over a certain square footage you may need an expansion joint but that is normally for a very large area

    I've only done a couple of plank installs, but there are a few things missing here. why arent you using a subflooring foam mat to add some cushioning to your floor, it saves your feet as it reduces the hardness of the floor and also means you are less likely to have breakages when items fall on it. Also why arent you cutting one end to size then starting the next row with what's left over, it helps you stagger it well and less waste!

  • @841tl

    That tapping block works great, but you're using it wrong. You want to always maintain contact with he plank and pivot one side out like a hinge and then side it back in hard. You don't want to slide the whole block out and then whack it back in. The hinge technique assures that the impact to the plank happens across the whole side of the block and not just one corner.
    Also, if that old wood floor is on a slab you might get some moisture build up in it. I haven't seen an LVP that can go on top of wood that is on top of concrete. You're good if it's a pier and beam foundation.
