Starting to look like an office!!

What happens here

After all luxury vinyl planks have been laid, it is crucial to allow the adhesive to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 24 to 72 hours, during which heavy foot traffic should be avoided. Once the adhesive has cured, the narrator mentions that white trim will be installed throughout the space. This usually involves installing baseboards along the perimeter of the room. Baseboards cover the necessary expansion gap left between the flooring and the walls, providing a neat, finished appearance and protecting the wall base.

Goal: Allow adhesive to cure and plan for finishing elements like trim

Tools and materials

  • Baseboards/Trim — To cover expansion gaps and provide a finished look
  • Caulk — To fill small gaps around trim for a cleaner finish
  • Miter Saw — For cutting baseboards at precise angles
  • Nail Gun/Hammer — To fasten baseboards to the wall
  • Nails/Adhesive — To secure the baseboards
