The thickest part is a quarter-inch thick. It is possible to assemble them.
There's no reason why this kit couldn't be used on vinyl flooring.
It should work with any laminate flooring, in my opinion.
It's made of hard plastic, but it has a solid feel to it in my hands. It's not too heavy and it does the job.
Selected User Reviews For Laminate Wood Flooring Installation Kit by REXBETI with 30 Spacers, Tapping Block, Pull Bar and Mallet (Floor)
The hammer is nice with the two sides because sometimes you don't need to hit the metal bar with as much force. The bar is a must have to pull the last piece of flooring closest to the wall it has soft pads on it so you don't scratch the floor when you use the bar to go under the wall to pull the last piece together. I had previously installed flooring, but this was the first time I had used vinyl. I discovered that using a small block of wood to angle the part of the bar I was going to tap on up would help angle the bar closest to the wall, allowing you to close the two pieces of flooring together and it locking in place perfectly. The small block is ideal because it has a grove that protects the locking seam. I recommend that after you've cut your first piece of flooring to make your staggered joints, you play around with the block to see how easy it is to damage the locking joint. I found that as long as it wasn't the end of the plank, a small piece of damage in the middle would hold the plank in place perfectly. Just a reminder that if you damage a plank, you can always cut it to help move your flooring seems around the room. Everything I read said to avoid falling into a pattern, and that moving the seems around the room made the flooring much stronger. Let me add one more thing: the vinyl flooring installer said I didn't need to buy any type of barrier between the cement slab and the vinyl flooring, but I read one installer who said he put Visqueen on the floor first because he had never found a room that was perfectly square in his 50 years of flooring installation. Placing the Visqueen between the slab and the flooring is a good idea. Because the flooring would slide on the Visqueen, he would be able to move it around to make the seams in the flooring and the wall look square. Years later, he mentioned cracking in a home slab, so I cut out a piece and duck taped it in place for a small fee. It allowed me to move the flooring so that I could get one complete plank between the wall and make the flooring look nice, as well as include a small piece I cut to fit in the door. I'll be sharing a lot of photos. I apologize for the length of my review; however, I have learned so much on this floor that I wish I could just tell everyone who is putting it in for the first time what I have learned, so I hope this helps anyone who has read this far and best of luck.
This kit appeals to me in the following ways: The spacers were excellent, and there were plenty of them so I didn't have to cut corners when installing the laminate planks. The metal bar was extremely useful, and I made frequent use of it. It's solid and doesn't budge. This is a well-made tool with a solid construction. I'm not sure how I feel about the tapping block. It's a good size, and it stayed put when I was tapping the planks to tighten the joints. It never slid or caused any damage to the plank. The bottom, on the other hand, instead of being a solid piece of plastic or whatever material it is made of, has reinforcement strips that could not withstand a stronger hammer blow. After getting a little western to make the plank tight, the block eventually gave way and cracked into pieces. br>br>The only drawback was the hammer that came with the kit. It was nicely made, but it wasn't heavy enough to do the job I needed. I'm not sure if it was my fault because of my lack of experience, the plank joins being too tight, or something else. It will, however, be useful as a hobby tool. Overall, this is an excellent installation kit for the money. My only gripe is that I'd like to buy another tapping block like the one included in the kit, but I can't find one for sale separately.
The pull bar, as well as the mallet and spacers, are essential. I didn't use the tapping block very often, but it's better to have it than not. Al did what he said he'd do.
This was purchased in order to install my new laminate flooring. The only saving grace was the use of spacers. I couldn't do anything with the hammer, and the pull bar left marks on the floor every time I used it. To keep it from leaving a mark on the floor, I had to pad the end and use a paper towel. The pull bar then bent, necessitating a trip to Home Depot to purchase a replacement. I would not recommend this product.
My wife and I made the decision to install a laminate floor. The goal was to finish the job as cheaply as possible while improving the appearance of the room in which we were installing the flooring. We got the majority of our supplies from the orange-colored store. Store that sells colored hardware. We saw a kit with a hammer, spacers, and a few other items, but it was far too much for us. "Let's check Amazon," we say whenever this problem arises. "It's a good thing we did. This kit appeared on the market and was significantly less expensive. It had good reviews and seemed to have everything we needed to finish the job. br>The hammer is small, but you're not going to build a house here, fellas. It has enough force to cause the pieces to lock together, which is exactly what we needed. The spacers were ideal for edging the perimeter of the room. This product comes highly recommended by me.
After watching a video on how to install laminate flooring on the internet, we decided to purchase this package. We're not carpenters, but we take pride in doing the best we can (and it's a lot less expensive). With the exception of a carpenters square (hint, hint), this package included everything we needed to complete the project. Because my wife works nights and I am responsible for a 15-month-old, we have yet to finish the hallway. As a result, it goes without saying that time is of the essence. I'm confident that once we've tackled the hallway, the rest of the house will be a breeze. I liked that everything was in one place instead of having to run all over town to different stores to find all of the components (as we used to do until the wife suggested Amazon). ) Hopefully, I'll remember to take a photo when we're done with the hallway (unless, of course, it turns out to be a disaster- Best of luck to us! This is something I would recommend to anyone who has the courage to do something they don't know how to do. Peace.
