Vinyl plank built for a concrete slab

Underlayment went down in rows with the seams taped. Then the planks were clicked in from the longest wall, tapped tight with a block and mallet, and cut to fit at the doorways. Trim went on last.

/ The Challenge

Concrete is rarely flat. Vinyl plank follows every dip under it, and a low spot turns into a soft area or a joint that opens up later. The slab also had to stay dry under the new floor.

/ Our Approach

We checked the slab with a long level, filled the low spots and laid an underlayment with a moisture barrier. The planks were racked out first so the pattern would look natural, with no two joints close together.

/ Before and After

The room now looks like light oak, feels solid when you walk on it and can take a spill or a wet boot without a problem.
