Materials and Tools You’ll Need

• LifeProof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
• Underlayment
• Tape Measure
• Utility Knife
• Hammer
• Tapping Block
• Spacers
• Flooring Adhesive
• Level
• Rubber Mallet

Step 1: Preparing the Subfloor

Before you start installing the LifeProof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring, ensure that the subfloor is clean, level, and free of any debris. Use a level to check for any uneven spots and make necessary adjustments.

Step 2: Installing the Underlayment

Roll out the underlayment and trim it to fit the dimensions of the room. Secure the underlayment in place using adhesive or tape, ensuring a smooth and even surface for the flooring installation.

Step 3: Acclimating the Flooring

Allow the LifeProof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring to acclimate to the room temperature for at least 48 hours before installation. This step is crucial to prevent warping or buckling of the planks.

Step 4: Installing the Planks

Begin installing the planks from one corner of the room, working towards the opposite wall. Use spacers to maintain a consistent expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. Use a tapping block and rubber mallet to ensure a snug fit between planks.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once all the planks are installed, trim any excess underlayment and install baseboards or trim to cover the expansion gap. Clean the flooring thoroughly to remove any installation residue and admire your newly installed LifeProof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring.
