Introduction

Welcome to our step-by-step DIY guide on installing Lifeproof flooring in a tiny cabin on wheels. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner looking to spruce up your mobile living space, this guide is designed to assist you in achieving a durable and stylish flooring solution.

Materials Needed

• Lifeproof flooring planks
• Underlayment
• Tape measure
• Utility knife
• Tapping block
• Rubber mallet
• Spacers
• Adhesive (if required)
• Cleaner for subfloor preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Subfloor

Before starting the installation process, ensure that the subfloor is clean and level. Remove any existing flooring and make necessary repairs to the subfloor to create a smooth surface for the Lifeproof planks.

Step 2: Acclimate the Flooring

Allow the Lifeproof flooring planks to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of the tiny cabin for at least 48 hours before installation. This will prevent expansion or contraction issues later on.

Step 3: Install the Underlayment

Roll out the underlayment across the subfloor, ensuring that it covers the entire space. Trim any excess underlayment and secure it in place using tape.

Step 4: Begin Installing the Lifeproof Flooring

Start at one corner of the room and lay the first Lifeproof plank, tongue side facing the wall. Use spacers to maintain an expansion gap along the perimeter of the room.

Step 5: Continue the Installation

Interlock the subsequent planks by angling them and snapping them into place. Use a tapping block and rubber mallet to ensure a tight fit. Stagger the joints for a professional look.

Step 6: Trim and Fit the Last Plank

Measure and cut the final plank to fit the remaining space, leaving an expansion gap. Use a utility knife for precision cutting and install the last plank securely.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

Remove the spacers and install baseboards or trim to cover the expansion gap. Clean the Lifeproof flooring with a suitable cleaner to maintain its quality and shine.
