In general, plank flooring is very easy to install, with click together, floating floors being among some of the easiest with their glue free process.

Vinyl plank flooring is very popular for a number of reasons. It is attractive, durable with its multi layer design, and easy to keep clean. It is also a breeze to install, making it the perfect solution for a DIY project.

The Installation Process

 
1. Bring the flooring into the room or space in which it will be installed to make sure it’s properly acclimated to the temperature and humidity levels of the space before the actual installation takes place.
2. Make sure the subfloor is clean, smooth, dry, solid, and prepared according to manufacturer guidelines.
3. Measure the room and decide how the entire floor will lay out, to ensure that planks on either side of the room are similar in size.
4. Start installing by selecting a corner of the room to loose lay the planks. If they don’t fit perfectly, cut to fit (measure, mark, score, cut, and snap). Make sure the plank tongue faces the wall. Insert the end joints into the grooves at a 10-20 degree angle. Leave a ⅛ inch gap for expansion.
5. Keep seams tight with no visible gaps.
6. Continue the installation of new rows by attaching the sides of the planks. Interlock the planks end joint side, first.
7. Once flooring is installed, finish the project with any base board or transition strips.
