How to Install Lifeproof Vinyl Flooring in Your Bathroom

Installing Lifeproof vinyl flooring in your bathroom is a great way to achieve a beautiful and durable floor that is also waterproof. Lifeproof flooring is available in a wide range of styles and colors, so you can find the perfect look for your bathroom. Plus, it is easy to install, so you can save money on labor costs.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:

Lifeproof vinyl flooring
Utility knife
Measuring tape
Level
Chalk line
Rubber mallet
Floor roller
Trim and molding

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the subfloor:

The subfloor must be level, smooth, and dry. If the subfloor is not level, you will need to level it using a self-leveling compound. If the subfloor is not smooth, you will need to sand it down. And if the subfloor is not dry, you will need to allow it to dry completely before installing the flooring.

2. Measure and cut the flooring:

Measure the length and width of the bathroom, and then cut the flooring to size using a utility knife. Be sure to leave a 1/4-inch gap around the perimeter of the room for expansion.

3. Lay out the flooring:

Start by laying out the flooring in the center of the room. Then, work your way out towards the walls, staggering the joints as you go. Be sure to use a level to ensure that the flooring is level.

4. Tap the flooring into place:

Once the flooring is laid out, use a rubber mallet to tap the planks into place. Be sure to tap the planks firmly, but not so hard that you damage them.

5. Roll the flooring:

Once the flooring is tapped into place, use a floor roller to roll over the seams. This will help to seal the seams and prevent water from seeping through.

6. Install the trim and molding:

Once the flooring is installed, you can install the trim and molding. The trim and molding will help to hide the expansion gap and give the floor a finished look.

7. Enjoy your new floor!

Your new Lifeproof vinyl flooring is now installed and ready to enjoy. Be sure to clean and maintain the floor regularly to keep it looking its best.
