The video documents the process of installing vinyl plank flooring in a small bathroom. The old ceramic tile flooring was removed, and the subfloor was prepared by scraping off the mastic and sanding it to ensure it's level and smooth. A new plywood underlayment was installed, and the vinyl plank flooring was laid out in a brick pattern. The first row was carefully installed to ensure it's straight and level, and subsequent rows were added, using a tapping block and a soft mallet to secure the tiles together. The flooring was cut to fit around the air vent and the toilet flange, and a transition strip was installed at the doorway. The final pieces were cut to fit and installed, and the flooring was finished with a bead of silicone caulk around the tub and new baseboards. The result was a waterproof and visually appealing flooring that mimics the look of large-format tile.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The bathroom had a small, beige ceramic tile floor that needed to be remodeled.
2. The old ceramic tile floor was removed and replaced with a new vinyl plank flooring.
3. The subfloor was made of OSB (oriented strand board) and had to be prepared before installing the new flooring.
4. The vinyl plank flooring was a floating floor that required expansion gaps and trim to be installed.
5. The toilet flange had to be adjusted to be flush with the new flooring.
6. A 5mm plywood underlayment was installed on top of the subfloor to provide a smooth surface for the vinyl tiles.
7. The plywood underlayment was secured to the subfloor with staples.
8. The vinyl plank flooring had a repeating pattern and had to be laid out in a specific way to minimize waste and ensure a professional-looking finish.
9. A 3D modeling program was used to plan the layout of the flooring and minimize waste.
10. The first row of flooring was carefully planned and executed to ensure a straight and level installation.
11. A cheater bar (also known as a pull bar) was used to pull the tiles tight into the rest of the row.
12. The tiles were tapped into place using a soft mallet and a tapping block.
13. The final row of flooring had to be cut to width and scribed to fit around the door trim.
14. A transition strip (T-molding) was installed at the doorway to cover the gap between the flooring and the hardwood floor in the hallway.
15. The transition strip was secured to the floor with screws and the vinyl molding was snapped into place.
16. The final piece of flooring was cut to size and installed under the door trim.
17. Silicone caulk was used to seal the gaps between the flooring and the tub and door trim.
18. The grout-colored silicone caulk was used to match the color of the flooring.
19. The installation of the vinyl plank flooring was completed with the addition of new baseboards.
