Updating your flooring on your own can save a lot of money. We updated my friends master bedroom and here is how to install engineered vinyl flooring in your home! This post is sponsored by NOVOcore

We have loved having engineered vinyl flooring in our living space and helped a friend this week install it into her master bedroom as well. There are so many reasons why it can be a good option for a homeowner and I will explain those as we walk you step by step on how to install engineered vinyl flooring.

When installing engineered vinyl flooring, make sure to use a product that is waterproof and can resist moisture. For this project, I used NOVOcore Q engineered vinyl flooring in the color Verdi. Q stands for QUIET

Quiet rigid construction

Install into any room in the home

Ultimate scratch resistance

East to clean and maintain

Totally waterproof

I absolutely love all of the features in the NOVOcore Q flooring and would recommend them for any flooring project you may need.

Materials Needed

• NOVOcore Laminate Vinyl Flooring
• Rubber mallet
• Tape measure
• Utility Knife
• Tapping block
• Handsaw
• Kneepads
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Spacers

Step 1: Floor Measuring

First, calculate the room surface prior to installation and add an additional 5-10% of flooring for cutting allowance.

Step 2: Floor Preparations

Before installing the new floor, there are some things you need to take into consideration:

• Inspect material for visible damage
• Preferably lay boards perpendicular to the window
• Check subfloor conditions: surface must be clean, flat, dry and level
• Flooring should only be installed in temperature ranges between 50-90F
• Remove baseboards
• Remove Carpet

Step 3 : Floor Installation

Begin by installing the boards from the left side of the room and work your way up to the right side of the room. Position the planks, snap them in place and use a rubber mallet (never use a hammer) to make sure it firmly locks into place. When using a rubber mallet you’ll want to make sure not to tap too close to the joint edge to prevent any damage to the boards. Use a utility knife to cut planks to the right length by scoring and snapping or you can also use a circular saw.

When you receive your order from NOVOcore, It comes with more detailed installation instructions. Their website has helpful videos which you can find in HERE. If you have not installed engineered vinyl flooring before, I recommend watching them to get a good grasp of what to expect!

Step 4: Add Baseboards

The final step in this master bedroom transformation is installing the baseboards back and then painting. I added some furniture and finishing touches to make this room look amazing; I absolutely love the way it turned out!

This is a quick and easy project that I know you can do too!
