What happens here
The video begins by showcasing a large, empty commercial-like space with a visible concrete subfloor in various stages of readiness. The walls appear to be freshly painted in a light grey, indicating prior renovation work. Before starting any flooring installation, the subfloor must be thoroughly prepared. This involves ensuring the surface is clean, dry, smooth, and level. Any existing debris should be removed using a broom and a shop vacuum. If the subfloor has cracks, holes, or unevenness, these must be repaired with a patching compound or self-leveling underlayment to create a uniform surface suitable for adhesive application and plank installation.
Goal: Ensure a clean, dry, and level subfloor for flooring installation
