I put vinyl in my basement in 1985 and it is still there. It has been under a couple inches of water when a pipe burst. Stuff is amazing. Last year I put peel and stick on top of it to update the look.
I’ll go ahead and have a beer and I’ll be right back…. *4 beers later* alright so we’re back. So you want to measure this because you don’t want to cut your carpet in the wrong place.
Wait, I thought we were talking about vinyl? Lol… funny stuff. Anyway thanks for the video, good info.
Cut a pie-shaped notch in the lid of the plastic bucket with a utility knife then just pour out the adhesive as needed. You get it on your hands when you try to dip the trowel. You can wash it off right away with water. If it dries you need turpentine. Gloves are no good as they get sticky then rip.
Awesome job! Very interesting to watch.
Very Nice job, Tyler. Vinyl Sheeting flooring certainly looks Better than Concrete and it’s very durable. Thanks! 👍
Beautiful!
I'm going to use it on stairs. I didn't think about using that on my basement floor, but that looks like a good idea, except maybe pressure sensitive glue. It's cheaper, doesn't require a flat floor so it works with drainage, and no opportunity for mold or mildew underneath.
great video dc good too see you back sir
Thank you
Good video...thanks!
I have to install vynil on concrete in my garage, someone suggested to put it without glue is this correct? Have I to seal the concrete before install vynil? Thanks great video
Nice flooring. What do you have on your walls?
Thank you❤
Good to see you're back. I was wondering just the other day whatever happened to you.
Thanks
I like that color
Nice job.. I would have painted the drain grill before sealing it in tho :)
Can you install sheet flooring for whole house?
Buy the vinyl with the pad on the back. It is a floating type floor. Cut your install time by 90%. Worth the extra buck a foot.
How does it having a pad underneath cut down installation time?
@@fantasygodfathers the floor is so easy to move and center with the pad. The pad makes it slide really easy. I did a 12x16 room in literally 20 minutes. Probably less than 20 minutes actually. Oh and by myself.
Does it still get glued?
@@robertjohnson3835 what kind of flooring was it? Please
@@cheriewing4648 style selections vinyl at Lowe's. Get the one with the pad on the back. It is 12 ft wide and you buy whatever length you want. It is 99© a sq.
foot. It is the best flooring and easiest ever. Hope this helps.God bless
Where did you get the vinyl sheeting from?
How can I use the same flooring on my garage walls no sheet rock right on the 8x4 or 2x4 Wood
before you begin < The drain will easily be felt later, don't bother, measuring off walls to center. Even a dangling string held from ceiling above. Also Working alone, 50% may be hard "too much" unless you at least use a weighted push broom to help you & should have a weighed roller also to keep it bonded. Out feed rollers stands can be helpful. You are right not gluing up to the wall edges. Use a steel edge to cut with all the time ! If you have a decent 48" Harbor Frt steel ruler your cuts will all be cleaner fitting to walls (just a few point along the wall marked on tape, Keep some excess for repairs in a corner. if you choose to place add'l glue the last inc or so, or not. Yes a good DIY exercise in a limited area.
Great video! Thanks! I'm in the Netherlands so I can't ask you to come and help me with my project. I still have to remove debris like spots of dried paint and scraps of building materials but, thankfully, it's a new home. I chose a (greige) smoked oak and will lay it throughout the entire house.
That will look great in your new home 🏠!
How did it go?
Where did you get that at and how much please
Nice video and fully explained. Just wondering what glue you used?
Just a vinyl sheet adhesive, you can pick up at any hardware store
Is there a way to do this without adhesive glue? Can you put double sided tape on the perimeter and glue down the sides? Loved your video
Have you ever done this on top of plywood/Manufactured home sub-floor? Also, is it common to lay this straight on top or is it better to have an underlayment?
I haven't personally but I know you sure can! As for the underlayment I'd follow what the manufacturer recommends
Great video, but I didn't see you push out the air bubbles as I've seen in other videos. Why is that? Thanks
As long as you lay it down tight I don't think it's necessary, but not a bad extra step
No moisture barrier first?
What was the best way to get the glue off your hands. I find it’s a real pain.
Also how long of tack time did you allow for the glue to start to set before you started to lay the vinyl
It took me about 10-15 minutes before I was done spreading the glue around and the vinyl was laid, as for getting it off my hands it was just a lot of picking! Gloves recommend haha
Wear gloves
I used to install commercial flooring for bout 15 years and it's been bout 15 years since I have. This is supposed to be a cheap budget floor so where did you get it
O and how much per yard or foot
How is this holding up??
can i just lay it down without the glue? I just dont want to deal with the removal down the road if I need to replace it
You can install "loose-lay" sheet vinyl but I would install it according to the manufacturers directions, glueing it down makes sure your vinyl does not lift up over time making it better withstand impacts, scratches spills ECT... In other words glueing it makes it last longer.
The other videos about vinyl sheet flooring installation said you only need adhesive for the edges and not the entire area. I guess if you want to go the extra mile, it wouldn't hurt. But I myself would just do the edges only.
That's one way to do it, but I don't think the vinyl would last as long as it would be pushed around and lifted up
I'll bet it depends a lot on the qualities of the vinyl and the kind of use it will get. If the vinyl is kind of thin and stretchy, moving a heavy piece of furniture might snag it.
Any concerns gluing to basement floor with out a vapor barrier?
If your basement has any history of water or moisture coming into it I'd install a barrier
barrier needed. it not sure tape a large square of plastic to the floor and it moist under it then seal.
@@drunkcarpenter5134 The history doesn't matter. Concrete is porous and will allow condensation from the soil through it. You need a vapor barrier if using planks and subfloor membrane panels if installing vinyl sheeting.
I have plywood can I still use this vinyl sheet
Sure can!
Hi Tylor wondering where you went, thanks for the video.😊 I know this is after the fact but Home Depot has black nitrate rubber gloves on sale 100ea for ........gads I forgot, they were fairly cheap.🤔....a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Gloves would have been a good idea for this project haha
What’s the company and model number for the barn wood sheet vinyl
Menards, model number M8001
Looks good but…. Your supposed to let the glue set before you put it down it still looked wet
When you can put your hand on the glue and it comes up clean your ready
Carpet? said multiple times must be good beer.
Where can you get the glue from?
Any store that has the flooring should have the glue with it
Do you have a link to that flooring?

I’m floored after watching this video. Ha ha! Looks Great!
You e waited your whole like to say this… haha
@@Bran252 🤣 I’ve been using this quite regularly
I love a good pun haha
@@drunkcarpenter5134 👍🏾👍🏾
@@clinthochrein888 👍🏽🤘🏽
What store can I buy this type of vinyl
Any big box store will have it, I got this specific vinyl from Menards
Would it be possible to just let the sheet GO UP 3 inches whereever it touches the walls, instead of a baseboard? And also make it easy to clean in the corners in the future? Or is that a stupid idea?
Where'd you get the flooring?
Menards
You don’t show using a roller to smooth out .
how much is it?
Depends on the style, mine was about 1.50 square foot but you can get some for under a dollar.
how much glue do you need?
*compromise (at 1:04) your adhesive, not " comprehend", sorry
Why can't you just glue or tape the edges.
How is LHL’s favorite Son in Law doing.
I'm doing well
@@drunkcarpenter5134 I think he was asking about your brother-in-law.
Oops! Installing vinyl sheet directly on concrete is a no, no. Condensation will create mold under your sheet and may even seep through and discolor it. You need subfloor membrane panels.
Music 😡 no like
