If you find this video helpful… I would really appreciate it if you “Hit that SUBSCRIBE button! Thanks for watching.
Yessir! thank you for the info in this video.
Finally somebody that shows how to layer these peel and stick floorings most of these videos do not show you how or if they do it still is it explained right thank you so much was scared to do this but now I will try
Awesome... I’m glad to hear that you are going to give it a try! I hope it turns out successfully for you, and if it does I would love to hear about it! Thanks again for watching.
Knee pads, Spirit Level and cutting knife are a must and a nice cold drink :)
I missed the memo about having a cold drink ready when I got started... but you can guarantee I had one when I was finished 😆
I love how you pointed your finger and said “be nice to my wife in the comments”!!!!🥰🥰🥰 Meant that!!!
I had to try and set some ground rules for the comment section lol… she’s the driving force behind the channel… Gotta protect her! Thanks for noticing and Thanks for subscribing!
@@DetroneDoesIt Yes sir! ❤️
Great job!! I’m inspired! Thanks for sharing this process with us!
I’m glad I could supply some inspiration! Thank you very much for watching!
FANTASTIC TUTORIAL! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for leaving me an encouraging comment. I appreciate that!
Wow!! Looks amazing
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I clicked on this video because we wanted to cover our guest bathroom with the peel and stick flooring, but I work with resin and I might use it for that room as well! Right now I have cardboard covering the floor, lol, mainly because I didn't care since no one really goes in there but me.
This is a great option if you work with Resin… because they are fairly easy to remove, they are inexpensive enough that you don’t feel bad replacing one, and you do have to be ”careful” while your working with your Resin (like you would with more expensive/permanent flooring)… Glad you watching, and I hope it was helpful!
It looks amazing!
Thank you very much for watching!
Love the floors... Goes great with the color on the walls...
Thanks and thanks again for watching!
Great job! I’m inspired to do my bathroom now! Thank you for sharing!

Great work! 👍 It looks very nice!
Thank you very much!
Excellent job!
Thanks Erica, I appreciate you taking time to let me know.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm about to do the same on my floors with the same brand and it was hard finding a video with this specific brand! Subscribed! Going to check out your other videos too!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you were able to find the video helpful… the floors are super easy to lay, I’m sure you’ll love the results!
Awesome job

About to do this with the wifey myself.
12 X 12 Squares of grey wood.
Doing a workout room 👍
Thanks for the video
No problem... Thanks for watching, and if you get a chance (when you finish)... I’d like to hear how it turned out.
Just finally got done...
I had to come reply.😅
Was a horrible experience due to uneven, wavy floors.😵
The tiles dont want to lay and bunt up flat or square unless the floor itself is completely flat and even.
I have an old house.
I could have tried an underlayment, but no one needs a monday morning quarterback. 🙃
I am laying over 3 different types of hardwood, so probably shoulda laid a sub-floor actually, but wanted to cut out some work and paid for it in the end for sure.
Had to replace some tiles when they popped up. Shaved and sanded wood in some spots and had to glue down other spots.
The walls were simple, until you hit a corner.
That was a big pain in the @$$ honestly.
The whole job took an hour for an almost 300sq foot room, even with my wife and I having never done it before, BUT AND ITS A BIG BUTT, LOL 😆 It took Days and a ton of frustration for us to finish up our edges and we have a ton of cuts, in and out corners on the walls.
So in short i would say if you have a flat floor and a square room, do it.
Anything else, screw that noise 😆
Carpet, tiles and grout or a full sheet of vinly next time for me.👍
I may try resin epoxy for my basement tho. 🤔
I have seen some super awesome ideas.
Thanks for the video. 🙏
@@Nelson4207 Oh wow 😯 That does sound exceedingly complicated... you are better than me, because if I ran into that many challenges, I would have scrapped the whole thing an just bought a massive rug hahahaha. I can attest that that corners (and in my case around the doorway) suck! Well it sounds like you’ve got some equally exciting projects on the horizon... Best Of Luck! And if you haven’t already, consider recording that Epoxy project... you might save me some heartburn since I’ve thought about laying Epoxy in my garage but have NO idea how! Thanks again for watching.
Sweet‼️
Thanks!
Looks amazing, definitely want to try this with my floors. They are concrete as well
It was super easy to lay down over top of the concrete. Good luck if you try it!
Great video! Thank you so much! Subscribed!
Thank you soooo much, I really appreciate you subscribing as well
Those floors look great!
Ashley B Thanks! My knees paid for it lol
Detrone Does It I bet!!!
It's very important that you 1) snap chalk lines or otherwise measure guidelines to the middle of the room and start from the center, not from one edge. 2) lay out your planks first with the backing still attached to make sure you don't end up with any skinny strips or pieces on one side less than 6", or have the whole pattern be skewed/off center 3) use an appropriate primer for proper adhesion on your subfloor (plywood or osb) for the installation to last, otherwise the pieces will peel up with time. All of this would have been in the instructions that came with the flooring...
All of that sounds like solid advice… #1 & #2 I agree with completely, measuring from the center and laying your tiles out in advance would likely ensure a more evenly executed installation. I differ in opinion on #3, specifically for my situation… I wanted the floor to adhere but I didn’t want to add work nor make them become difficult to remove (incase my wife spills resin and I need to replace one). For my particular set up it’s worked great, they’ve been installed directly to the concrete for a little over 2 years and I haven’t have a single one lift, move or peel up.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips, I’m sure viewers will find them helpful.
Hi good luck in your new home it looks real nice from the outside look and space. I'm sure the Studio will look great once organised lol. Nice video and well presented I need ideas for my small bathroom floor. Shame the planks were so narrow I've seen them much wider in size which would of been great for a room this size.
Thanks for watching! I watched a separate video where someone installed peel and stick on the bathroom from of a place there were renting and it gave that space a completely different feel. Even with the humidity here and the foot traffic in our studio, the floors have really held up.
Thank you for the vid...started doing this yesterday in the living room and hallway. Had the laminate, but with dogs--NOT a great thing they spill water and such. I tore it out and lived with a stained slab for a couple of years. I did peel and stick in the bathroom a couple of years ago, grouted those, they still look alright. But, this time no grout and I was trying to figure out how to do the staggered pattern with the planks--THANK YOU for the simple explanation. The "installation guide" that came with the flooring was not a real help, seeing you lay it out was by far better and you kept it simple. And, you are soooo right about those knees...getting up this morning was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO. :(
Thank you for watching! I’ve had laminate as a renter and I would say this peel and stick is a durable and cost efficient (plus it looks better). I actually told my wife I wanted to stay away from anything that required grout or sealing so this worked out great. My wife was actually the one to simplify the staggering process, and in hindsight it made the process much easier to execute. So how is the living room/hallway turning out so far? I’m glad you got my knee pad PSA and save yourself some future knee pain
@@DetroneDoesIt just finished a couple of hours ago, it came out pretty good. But, I will be feeling every single ache for the next couple of days..lol. Again, thanks for the video was a big help. Subbed.
@@WhyNot-zr5kl Awesome thanks for the Sub!... just remember those aches are like trophies for the maximum effort you gave lol 😎 thanks again for watching!
Hey no judgments that’s exactly what my workspace looks like actually mine doesn’t look that good productivity is not always neat. I think it looks like somebody’s working in there.
I think my wife would agree with you too… She would always tell me “I know exactly where everything is in there”… and she did lol.
Bro idk if it's the 🍷 but i was grooving to that 🎶 😆
Naw, I done think it’s the 🍷 ... that track does have a nice groove to it. Thanks for watching!
Going to do my floors next month support excited what to do the stairs but not sure how because they have a lip on them
Yeah having that lip on the stairs might create a bit of an issue… if it does work out, let me know… I haven’t seen anyone try stairs with the peel and stick… and good luck on your floor project
Looks wonderful! I'm curious to know what it looks like after a year.
It has actually held up very well… I planned to talk about that in a upcoming video where I’m reimagining that space into a recording office…. But none of them have peeled or unstuck from the floor. No bulging or swelling even when the office has been pretty warm and humid. I have been very happy with how they have held up so far.
The floor looks phenomenal!
You two did a great job!
Lol, Sang Lloyd....lay it down! 🤣
😁
looks gorgeous! did you have to use a roller at all? I want to do but curious about the roller
Thanks! And no I didn’t have to use a roller at all during this project, and I haven’t had any lifting of bunching with the tiles.
Found it 999 subs!!! Subscriber #1000 😅

@@DetroneDoesIt absolutely, just came across your channel. Great job bro. I’m binging some older vids on the channel for sure👍
@@CaimarSalizi I’m going to go check out your channel as well!
@@DetroneDoesIt oh I appreciate it. Its outdated but i have some new content coming up. Thanks to your peel and stick video
@@CaimarSalizi Peel and stick is the way to go… it creates wayyy more flexibility than painting a wall.
How do you know where to cut your offset piece? I want to do my kitchen rental home. Great video
We measured the half way mark on each tile then we laid the first row like normal. On the 2nd row we laid the “halfway mark” where 2 tiles meet on the first row. Let me see if I can demonstrate it here..

Looking to remove carpet that was ruined. And pretty sure it wasn’t replaced before moving in.
Can now say i can remove carpet. But whatever is next..????
If you can remove carpet… you can definitely lay down some of these easy peel and stick floors!
Hey there. Awesome job. How is the floor holding up so far? Is it worth it?
Thanks... and they are definitely worth it. I thought we might experience some of the tiles peeling up or not stick because it can get pretty humid here in Texas... but we have not experienced any of that. They have been pretty study and clean up really easily.
Hey man! I have the same over spray in the corners and along the walls you have on the concrete before you started. Did that mess with how it lays? Or has it had long term problems with planks peeling off?
No, I didn’t experience any unevenness in those corner do to that over spray…. And honestly I haven’t had a single tile lift, separate or peel. I have been very surprised with how sturdy they have been since installation.
@@DetroneDoesIt thanks man! Good info on the video!
@@fisher1431 Thanks for watching!
Anyone have a brand you recommend? I probably will get Trafficmaster. I was going to go with a hard click and lock plank but noticed these are way easier to install, as well a remove each one if ever needed for replacement. You can't easily replace one plank with click and lock flooring.
These Style Selection ones worked really well for me. They have held up really well and we’re super easy to work with. Thanks for watching!

Can these be placed over old laminate if in decent condition?
Yes but if there is a waxy coating on the laminate, it may prevent them from getting a quality stick. That would be my concern with placing them directly over laminate. Thanks for watching!
Great job how many boxes did you use?
We bought 2 boxes plus about 40 extra individual planks I believe... and we still had about a 1/4 of a box left over (even with messing up on several of them.
New subscriber here…..I have the same flooring, but I have yet to put it down.
Welcome to the channel Savannah! You should find installation to be fairly straight forward… but make sure to have an exacto knife and knee pad when you start. If you don’t mind me asking…Where are you installing them?
Bruh, that looks great. How big is the room, and about how long did it take?
Our kitchen and living room has some hideous tile and grout work from the previous owners and we've been looking into installing peel and stick planks over them. Hoping to knock it out in an upcoming weekend
That room is approximately 10x12, and after I got the room cleared it took approximately 4 hours but that was largely due to me not knowing exactly what I was doing… plus working around the doorway took a bit of time. It’s held up very well even in the humidity.
The only concern I would have with placing it over tile would be if your tiles sweat when it gets humid, that might be the only real concern with them sticking and staying put. I hope it goes great for you… I’d love to hear how it turns out.
@@DetroneDoesIt totally will keep you updated! we plan to fill in the grout dips to even out the flooring to prevent any sinking. We'll also probably reinforce the bottoms with some extra adhesive so that it's much more stuck in place.
I don't think our tiles sweat but hopefully the extra adhesive will prevent any issues. We'll make sure to lay these down when it's dry af outside and inside the house (it's been raining a lot this week). We have seen a lot of uses cases where people lay these over tile and they still hold up extremely well over two years. More to come!
@@tea_fran Sounds like you’ve done some solid prep work… I’m rooting for y’all, I hope it turns out awesome.
That’s every studio
You’re probably right
Good video how are the floors holding up?
They are holding up very well… We use the office everyday and haven’t had to replace a single plank
Can I do this on a concrete porch ?
Absolutely, my 10x10 is basically a cement slab… so you can absolutely do this project on your porch! If you decide to do it… good lucky, I hope it turns out great! Don’t forget your knee pad 😃
Thanks for making this video. How has your floor held up so far?
Holding up really well so far… haven’t had a single plank raise up or get damaged. I am very happy with how they have performed.
@@DetroneDoesIt I just pulled up a floor of sad tiles that were laid out, dress right dress. Tomorrow I use the adhesive remover, and Tuesday the floor prep for my shot at peel and stick.
@@Fehu1964 Those peel and stick floor should make the 2nd half of this project much easier for you.
@@DetroneDoesIt It will be. Whoever put the previous down, added some type of adhesive, though not very regular. Some pieces came up by hand, others turned into cardio exercises. LOL
@@Fehu1964 🤣
How did the floor hold up?
Still holding up really well. No lifting or buckling and I haven’t had to replace a single plank yet. And I use the room multiple times a week for recording and projects.

...he looks like the "Slow. Kids at play" sign!
Hahahaha I didn't see that coming lol... Its funny though.
Can you use these on wood floor boards 😂
As long as your wood floor boards don’t have a wax layer on top… then they should work just fine on your wood floor boards.
Nice video How have they held up?
Thanks. They have held up really well. I haven’t had to replace a single one, I didn’t have to reapply any of them since posting this video either. Items slide across the floor with no problem, and I haven’t had any lifting or buckling from them at all. It’s worked out really well
@@DetroneDoesIt i had a flood in my basement so i had to rip out the carpet this week . i ws looking for some ideas i think im a go with this just buy an extra box incase some of them fail.
@@smooveb191 that’s a good idea to buy an extra box. Just as a note, they are not very thick so they don’t provide any comfort in that way, but they are very durable.
Did you use a floor roller? Is it really necessary?
No I didn’t use a floor roller… and because I didn’t use one, I’m not sure if it would have made the work any easier… but it wasn’t difficult without it
@@DetroneDoesIt thank you so much for replying.
