How to Install Coreluxe Vinyl Plank Flooring

Coreluxe vinyl plank flooring is a popular choice for homeowners due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and stylish appearance. If you're considering installing this type of flooring in your home, following these steps will ensure a successful installation.

Materials You'll Need:

- Coreluxe vinyl plank flooring - Underlayment (optional) - Moisture barrier (optional) - Tape measure - Utility knife - Straight edge - Tapping block - Pry bar - Spacers

Step 1: Prepare the Subfloor

Before installing the vinyl plank flooring, it's important to prepare the subfloor. Make sure the subfloor is level, dry, and free of any debris. If necessary, use a self-leveling compound to smooth out any uneven areas.

Step 2: Install Underlayment (Optional)

An underlayment can provide additional comfort and soundproofing. If you choose to install an underlayment, roll it out over the subfloor and secure it with tape.

Step 3: Install Moisture Barrier (Optional)

If your subfloor is prone to moisture, you may want to install a moisture barrier. Cut the moisture barrier to the appropriate size and place it over the underlayment or directly on the subfloor.

Step 4: Measure and Cut the Planks

Measure the room to determine how many planks you will need. Cut the planks to the desired length with a utility knife and straight edge.

Step 5: Start Installing the Planks

Start installing the planks in a corner of the room. Angle the first plank and tap it into place using a tapping block. Continue adding planks, angling each one and tapping it into place until the row is complete.

Step 6: Continue Installing the Rows

Continue installing rows of planks, working your way across the room. Use spacers to ensure even spacing between the planks. If you need to cut a plank to fit around an obstacle, use a utility knife and straight edge.

Step 7: Install the Last Row

The last row of planks may need to be cut to fit. Measure the remaining space and cut the planks accordingly. Tap the planks into place using a pry bar if necessary.

Step 8: Trim and Finish

Once the flooring is installed, trim any excess material around the edges of the room. Use a utility knife and straight edge to cut the trim pieces and secure them with glue or nails.
