How to Install Allure Ultra Vinyl Plank Flooring

Allure Ultra vinyl plank flooring is a popular choice for homeowners due to its durability, water resistance, and ease of installation. If you're considering installing Allure Ultra vinyl plank flooring in your home, follow these steps to ensure a successful installation.

1. Prepare the Subfloor

The first step is to prepare the subfloor. The subfloor must be level, smooth, and dry. If the subfloor is not level, you will need to level it using a self-leveling compound. If the subfloor is not smooth, you will need to sand it down. And if the subfloor is not dry, you will need to allow it to dry completely before installing the flooring.

2. Install the Underlayment

Once the subfloor is prepared, you will need to install the underlayment. The underlayment will help to protect the flooring from moisture and will also provide a cushion for the flooring. There are different types of underlayment available, so be sure to choose one that is compatible with Allure Ultra vinyl plank flooring.

3. Acclimate the Flooring

Before you begin installing the flooring, you will need to acclimate it to the room where it will be installed. This means allowing the flooring to sit in the room for at least 24 hours before installing it. This will help the flooring to adjust to the temperature and humidity of the room.

4. Start Installing the Flooring

Once the flooring is acclimated, you can begin installing it. Start by installing the flooring in a corner of the room. Be sure to leave a small gap between the flooring and the walls to allow for expansion and contraction. Use a tapping block to tap the flooring into place. Continue installing the flooring until the entire room is covered.

5. Trim the Flooring

Once the flooring is installed, you will need to trim it around the edges of the room. Use a utility knife to score the flooring and then snap it off. Be sure to wear safety glasses when trimming the flooring.

6. Install the Moldings

The final step is to install the moldings. Moldings will help to hide the expansion gap and will also give the flooring a finished look. There are different types of moldings available, so be sure to choose ones that match the style of your flooring.
