Starting to look like an office!!
What happens here
Once the adhesive has become tacky (after the recommended waiting period), begin laying the luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. The planks shown in the video are a gray wood-look with subtle brown undertones. Carefully align each plank, pressing it firmly into the tacky adhesive. Ensure tight seams between planks and maintain a consistent pattern, such as a staggered brick-like layout, for a professional appearance. Use a utility knife or specialized flooring cutter to trim planks to size, especially for perimeter pieces or around obstacles. Employ spacer blocks along walls to maintain an expansion gap, which is necessary for the flooring to settle without buckling. A rubber mallet can be used to gently tap planks into place if needed.
Goal: Securely install LVP planks onto the prepared subfloor
