Default Flooring

We have moved to using light colored LVP flooring in our home and absolutely love it. It is durable, easier to maintain, and softer to walk on than tile or laminate. Many good LVP floors have a cushioned backing already attached such as cork or rubber that makes the floors feel warmer when you walk on them and if you fall, a little less harsh and forgiving. We installed ourselves but if you aren’t that construction savvy, you probably should have it installed by someone.

I don’t know why the baseboards would need to be removed unless it is a low height baseboard. We.just take off any quarter round or shoe mold and run the flooring to the baseboard leaving a 1/4 inch gap for expansion. We put new shoe molding back on as it looks better than the big, fat quarter round.
