thanks for sharing this video it has helped me do my flooring nice work..
I think stapling it is unnecessary but can’t hurt i guess, also the joints already have self adhesing tape so the tuck tape is almost redundant but again can’t hurt I guess.
does it matter which direction you run the underlayment? perpendicular to the flooring panels, or the same way?
I am happy to help you!
what do you call that stapler? can i use any type of tapes? nice video by the way, im doing my diy floor this week.
HAS ANYONE NOTICED WHERE IT SAYS “THIS SIDE DOWN” ON THE ROLL OF UNDERLAY????
this detail on the roll answers my question that I’d been looking for. And this dude is laying it upside down.
You are welcome, my friend!
I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!
1.) music choice is horrible
2.) you don’t explain anything you’re doing or why
3.) you don’t make me feel like I can do it myself
wouldnt a hammer tacker reduce the waterproof rating?
Thanks for the reply! Thought perhaps it was due to moisture reasons. But the laminate shouldn’t touch the walls if there are expansion gaps?
I have been watching quite a few of your videos and it will help a lot with my install in a couple of weeks for my house, so thank you. Are the staples necessary? Would it change the effectiveness of the vapor barrier?
Good luck in your underlayment installation for laminate flooring!
Thank you, Michael for a good comment.
Does’nt it say this side down
Thanks! Will be doing my boy’s rooms this weekend.
It is up to you. I am doing it because this technique allow to avoid the contact floor/walls. It means that you will not have any squeaks at these places in the future.
Thank you for this very important question and good luck in your projects!
Nice job, except that you just invalidated the warranty on both the foam and the flooring by putting staple holes throughout what is supposed to be a moisture barrier. Any doubts, call the foam company – any foam company or any flooring manufacturer.
Great video if you only make that correction.
Thank you very much my friend.
Wrong side up! Plastic side always goes up…
Foamy chunky side down….go to pergo school!!!
That totally makes sense! Thanks again!
You are welcome, my friend! Thanks for the warm commenting!
was happy to find this as we were trying to figure out how the taping
was done. feeling a lot more confident
THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE LOOK AMAZING
Great video! Thanks for posting! What is the actual brand of underlayment. I have searched the VB Foam, but cannot find who sells it. Is it the same thickness or material that you find at lowes and home depot?
Is there a waiting period after installing laminate flooring before putting furniture on the new floor.
This is some very helpful and valuable information. I now have more knowledge about the installation steps for laminate flooring. Thanks for sharing with me.
Good video. I just did my floors. Thumbs up!
Very good and useful information about installing the underlayment for laminate flooring. I learn something everyday. Enjoyed this much.
Yes, laminate shouldn’t touch the walls and you should leave some gaps, but it is a floating floor. It means that it is moving. I got this trick from the German floor installers.
