    LVP on stairs - what to do about attached underpad

    I agree it's easier to leave it... My thought was not that it would go anywhere - it was the risk that it wouldn't adhere properly and the plank would eventually slide. The other two responders recommended removing it, so i tried on a test offcut... it peels off easy peasy. So now I'm leaning...

    Very cool... looks really neat. Also interesting to see how you used to weight to help with the dips and hills

    LVP on stairs - what to do about attached underpad

    Just finished a small basement room with AquaPlus 7mm including a 1mm attached underpad. I'll likely have enough left over to do the basement stairs (at least the treads). I understand these will be glued vs floating. But what do I do with the attached underpad. It's a quite dense material...

    Yeah, that would have helped. This was part 1 of a 3 part project. Next is the main room in the basement. It's much larger 30ft x 15ft and the planks will run on the long side. I just have to figure out how to temporarily affix a guide along that long chalk line (to concrete).

    Challenges installing AquaPlus LVP

    First try i tried to start it on a chalk line a few inches from the wall (was trying to end in a good place). That caused some adjustment issues so I tried the way you said... that was better. It's actually going better now. First 7 rows look pretty good. I stopped after that to go get a...

    Challenges installing AquaPlus LVP

    I'm just using a bit of 2 x 4 tapping with a mallet. I dont tap hard as im worried about damaging the edges - but even at that... some of the taps seem to dislodge other parts that I've laid. Putting some weights on completed parts is helping a little.

    Challenges installing AquaPlus LVP

    I'm having challenges installing this product. Mainly issues of getting a good tight fit between planks especially along two seams. Background. I'm a DIY homeowner. Recently lifted at 30 yr old carpet from the basement concrete floor - 2 simple rooms about 600 sq feet. The old adhesive was...
