Brenn’s Blueprint Request
Love your website! Here’s my drawing. We have a split level with a loft. Most locations will receive new SPC Vinyl Plank with attached pad (Countryside by Republic Flooring). Some rooms will be left carpeted and are marked as such. The office and loft bedrooms are on wood while the dining room, kitchen, foyer, bathroom, laundry and living room are on concrete slab. The top of the drawing is South. I don’t know the T&G orientation yet, but my flooring salesperson is trying to track it down. Let me know if you would like pics of any specific areas.
Thanks, larry

Joe,
Big time thanks! Your plan review is awesome! I only have two questions before starting:
1. As you know, I have a mix of concrete slab and raised subfloor. My new Republic brand LVP has attached pad, so what’s your opinion on still using that QuietWalk pad (the one for vinyl plank) over raw slab, over wood laminate glued to concrete slab, and over wood laminate glued to subfloor? I have all three cases where the new LVP will be laid. I want a quiet floor, but don’t want to damage the new vinyl plank either.
2. I have a couple areas in front of the fireplace hearth and step down in the living room where the existing glued down wood laminate has separated from the underlying concrete slab, thus creating clicks and hollow sounds when you step on it. So, before installing the new LVP over it, should I simply remove the loose pieces and fill with one of your preferred leveling materials? My other choice is removing 300 sq ft of glued down wood laminate – ugh!
I think I’ll be able to get through everything else. Thanks!

I would not use quiet walk with the republic. I think you will have a more solid feel without an additional pad. As for the loose plank, I would take it out and re glue it if possible. That will save you time and money!
