Vinyl Flooring Over Uneven Subfloor

Because engineered hardwood has a top layer of actual wood you are able to get the best of both worlds.

Vinyl flooring over uneven subfloor.

Vinyl gets glued to the floor and then smoothed over the surfaces where it will easily cover and mold to small peaks and valleys. Measure and cut 1 4 inch or thicker plywood with a circular saw to fit the entire floor of the room where you are installing vinyl flooring. In an application where the subfloor has uneven tendencies and or crosses over various rooms with differing subfloor surfaces engineered flooring gives you real wood where you otherwise would have to put down new subflooring. Although not as flexible as carpet vinyl still conforms easily to the shape of the floor underneath it.

The goal is to have a wooden subfloor consisting of two. Concrete is a common subfloor material and in general it s easy to prepare for a luxury vinyl flooring installation project.
