Floors · 01Before you ask

Before you ask

The room size, the subfloor, the plank’s thickness, and whether it’s over a basement slab.

  • Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
  • Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
  • Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in flooring, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

Install vinyl plank flooring

14′ × 12′ floor: 168 sq ft plus 10% waste is 10 boxes (20 sq ft each), and 49 ft of trim.

What people get wrong:

  • Nailing trim into the floor. It pins the floating floor so it buckles or gaps as it moves.
  • No expansion gap. Leave ¼″ at every wall, pipe and cabinet or the floor peaks in summer.
  • A sliver last row. Measure first.
