How To Lay Vinyl Plank Flooring On Uneven Floor

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike because it is durable, affordable, and easy to install. However, if you have an uneven floor, you may be wondering if you can still install LVP flooring. The answer is yes, but there are a few things you need to do to make sure the installation is successful.

The first step is to level the floor. This can be done by using a self-leveling compound or by installing a subfloor. Once the floor is level, you can begin installing the LVP flooring. Start by laying out the planks in a dry fit to make sure they fit together properly. Once you are satisfied with the layout, you can begin gluing or nailing the planks down.

If you are gluing the planks down, use a high-quality adhesive that is specifically designed for LVP flooring. Apply the adhesive to the back of the planks and then press them into place. If you are nailing the planks down, use a flooring nailer and 1-1/2 inch flooring nails. Drive the nails through the tongue of the planks and into the subfloor.

Once all of the planks are installed, you can trim the excess around the edges of the room. You can use a utility knife or a circular saw to make the cuts. Once the planks are trimmed, you can install the baseboards and moldings.
