How to lay Laminate Flooring

[mkrudop2011]

what kind of flooring is this? Like what brand? It looks like build direct Lamton, but i wasn't sure.

[pskinny23]

Do you have a video on how to do a stair nose, for dropped down living room.

[redmatrix]

I liked the content of the video, and the editing / transitions. When I say content, I mean the useful stuff about flooring, measuring, cutting, spacers.

[Melkiah34]

FAG!!!



[kittyclark11]

love the entertaining instruction! very helpful for my project & mood! :-)

[ShoutHard]

If I didn't watch this video, I would have screwed up my entire flooring. The Lowes how-to videos don't say anything about measurements and checking from the center line. I just installed laminate in a 1700 square foot living room and it came out perfect thanks to this guys info about making a grid from the center of the room.

[telosfd]

Practical spacers!!!! Ciao is an Italian byeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

[BuggyJumper]

Great vid mate both tickled me and helped me

[cjbirk]

ciao*

[cjbirk]

caio is actually italian for goodbye, but they say it in France sometimes too, I guess.

[alacazsana]

@cjbirk cant believe u felt this 'ciao' needed an explanation!!! I think these guys have a different sense of humour than you??

[Yamakweah]

Ha Ha....loved the vid...am installing a floating floor tomorrow, and now I feel a bit more prepared...well done...

[tbone085]

wats worse than fuggin idiot in a you tube video trying to be entertaining????... a fuggin idiot with a LISP trying to be entertaining, thanks for the help knobhead

[tracey281069]

Did he say his name was Dick?

[red666A]

How would you fix a crooked laminate? Does this means have to start over? I remember he said something about measurement..

[BigChopperoo]

@red666A Without seeing the job your working on, i can't tell you if the flooring needs to be removed or not. But sometimes it is necessary to start over. Sorry.

[bs4u87]

is this video for children? seems like it

[turboxtreem]

Less prancing and more information please.

[lickmyasssuckmybals]

Why are you trying to make it sound more omplicated than to actually is?

[lickmyasssuckmybals]

Laminate Flooring is so easy i have no carpenter skills. This stuff is vary easy to install and it looks awesome. It's worth the money.

[Lesardah]

Man, this was great! I laughed my ass off. You do a fantastic job, man. Good to see someone who does a meticulous job, and has a good time doing it. Cheers!

[jcotrone]

? SAD?

[LocalDogRescue]

Is he calling it "laminant" flooring???

[reku57]

lol haha funny vid

[Bdiddly1]

hes a pure knob.

[clintluvskitty]

[Turkeydoodlers]

Helpfull somewhat but could have done without you acting like an idiot

Geesh can you imagine having this guy come to your house?

[L33TOracle]

Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

[erick1174]

Wow, the least funny person in the world... we just found him! What a dork. The info is fine, but I could have done without the lame extras.

[FlooringSuppliesCoUk]

lol! Funny guy!

[melinavarro92243]

LOL UR FUNNY. COOL VIDEO SPIDEY :)

[xkulik]

ахахахахахахах

[Muckhauler]

OMG! bet you Americans are proud of that!! no wonder we gave up in the 1700's...lol. Don't EVER try and export him!!!

[Saoirsethirtytwo]

Another one who loves to hear his own voice, waster get to the point

[wearealltubes]

2:56

I think that "lines" could well be behind this unusual video.

[blainesmail]

Are you trying to irritate or inform? I couldn't tell.

[ashtonmac88]

And if being a hard@#$ is what it takes to complete a job that is installed to specs so that i can warranty my craftsmenship then thats what i am!!!

[ashtonmac88]

Well bro!! if 10 years of experience counts for anything and owning an Installation Company that installs thousands of sq ft a year??? i think i may know just ALIL about it!!!

[ajhnson]

Except how to spell.

[ashtonmac88]

Well Sir. If I wanted to spell everything out correctly I would have!

[ajhnson]

Well hot shot since you're such a guru why don't you post your own video instead of criticizing someone else work? At least this guy posted his work. What say you?

[ashtonmac88]

Well Sir! I havnt posted any videos for the simple reason, that I don't have a good quality recorder! And I dont see the need to go purchase one just to prove myself to some random screename on the internet!!!! LOL

[ajhnson]

Gee whiz, you being a floor guru and all I figure you must make all kinds of money. Enough to buy a descent camera anyway so you can make a video to back up your own hype. We are all waiting? :)

[neenz1003]

thanks for the tips chad.. top man..

[ryanmck1984]

This guy must be having a laugh...surely?

[surayouta]

not worth watching this load of shit

[ecuadordean]

He should of dressed in drag as well, I want info not entertainment

[duaneafields]

Read a book at your local library dude. Sorry, but your pc and this site is more for entertainment, than information. I bet you would love to see some dudes in drag, huh?

[ashtonmac88]

this dude is a moron dude dont know crap about laminate flooring

[duaneafields]

Ya know, I'd rather work with a guy like this on my jobs, than a hard-ass know-it-all. I bet you're a master craftsman huh?

[AXXGOD1]

i dont know why, but i had to watch this 2 times. he knows his shit, and he made me laugh out ;loud a few times. ive worked for some real assholes, but i think he'd be fun to work for.. could have passed on the dancing tho

[BigChopperoo]

Thanks for watchin'. I'm glad i could make you smile as well as maybe givin' you some tips. Hope you come back and watch some more. Oh, and don't worry, dancin' is not a requirement when hire someone:-)

[DaIrishGuy]

great tips chad,, i have a weird shaped room so lining out your own lines with chalk will do the job for me,,, thanks

[htaedmetal]

heyy...is it a must to put something under the laminate floor?if it doesnt have the 'thing; under it?

[wearealltubes]

yup. without a (usually) foam layer underneath, the floor will make a noise when you walk on it & conserve less heat.

[NORTHWEASI]

i bet you wanted to dance right up behind him! i dont want your life story, nobody cares who you worked for. go get a proper job!

[jomofo67]

This guy is just plain weird. I couldn't stand working around him for five minutes, much less all day. Sorry bro, just being real with ya.

[RachelMarie81]

I can't actually bring myself to finish watching this video. This guy is a moron and he really scares me. His unprofessionalism makes me not want to take any advice from him.

[adam3110]

americans are stupid

[mikialjan]

I admire his cheerfullness, but I couldn't stand next to him within 100 yards or he'd be hurt for being so dumb.

Garbage tips.

[althelover]

how can i hate him so much,,,,,,,i think he'son day release

[walte300]

useful tips, funny guy.

[DiNcMe]

@walte300 useless commenter, go buy some DVDs with instructions for dummies like you who bash on free information.

[doggyme1]

[shanewald]

[mikerobinson83]

[rafonero]

This man is estupid

[holtzer1]

I'll give safety dan 100 bucks to beat your ass on video

[mister2drums]

What a waste of bandwidth. Should have stuck to the installation and done away with the stupid jokes.

[Tote1883gas]

[musashi765]

Ha ha ha I never knew Tony Blair was an od job man ha ha ha

[psychodelicdragon]

hey bc,

i did not get the reply. its fine if you want to break them down, one every so often. thanks for your time, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE CHOPPEROO!!!!!!!!!! :):):):)

[BigChopperoo]

When it comes to leveleing, in the ideal world, you want zero clearance. BUt i had over a 1/2" dip in spots. I would say 1/4" is too much. Use the longest 2 x 4 you can get. Make sure it's straight. Lay it down on the floor and look for gaps where the floor dips. Mark those spots. pour the leveler and drag the 2x4 over it. Note the leveler dries quick. If the the gap is around 1/8" just double up that area with your vapor barrier or felt paper.

[BigChopperoo]

I had one flooring guy tell me he used roofing shingles cause they didn't break down or compress over the years. (just in smaller areas)

Yes, you need a vapor barrier, however the laminate i used had it on there already. Some cheaper lamiantes don't.

[psychodelicdragon]

hey BC, just how level is level for this flooring, [like your uneven cement floor]? i've been told everything between 1/8" and 1/4" [to no difference at all, no height change]on the height from one floor in one room to the next one? does this stuff need a moisture barrier on concrete floor? do you need to femove broken vinyl tiles nefore installing this floor? how about a floor leveling vid? [like in this vid] you are my fav.

[BigChopperoo]

These are a lot of questions so i sent you a personal emal. I hope you received it.

[WHODOESNTFART]

I googled how to lay laminate flooring and this came up. Your video was helpful.

[blumochi]

lol, seriously cracked me UP!

[KingRichard572]

hahaha im a mix between you and dan, nice video

[politirel]

You're silly!

[Kelsita22]

Chad ..How much is a fair price to pay for an installation? per square foot. I will supply all material.

[BigChopperoo]

It depends on where you live, but a safe average is $2.50 -$3.00 a sq. ft. Make sure they lay the quater round when complete.

[CaptainDistracted]

Hahaha!... Dude, you're funny.

[Heathfloors]

is that a concrete subfloor?

[BigChopperoo]

Yes it is. It's also crosses over to a old wooden subfloor too. I had to use a leveling compound on it to get the low spots out on the concrete areas.

I hope that helps.

chad

[masatakaasaoka]

mooooovin'

[johnyfonz]

Chad your a classic you made me cry, keep on choppin..Chopperoo. :P
