Install Toilet Before Or After Vinyl Plank Flooring

Doing bathroom remodel using the vinyl plank flooring.

Install toilet before or after vinyl plank flooring.

When running the flooring do you run flooring then set vanity. Plus vinyl is designed to be diy friendly and many homeowners opt to lay the flooring themselves. Then the toilet is reset so the base covers the cuts around the drain. In fact vinyl plank flooring can be installed virtually anywhere even on top of existing flooring.

Am installing some allure vinyl floating floor in bathroom i am also installing a new toilet flange and toilet since i replaced the subfloor there. The toilet goes in next and the vanity typically is installed last without a top sink or faucets. Vanity rest on the floor or do you set vanity then trim flooring to fit vanity. The toilet has to be removed and the flooring cut to go around the floor drain.

Most glue down vinyl plank flooring needs to be rolled with a floor roller after installation to firmly and evenly seat the vinyl planks into the adhesive. Wipe away or use a knife to peel away any adhesive that gets into the seams between planks. So what i am thinking is i basically cut a round or square i guess now that i think about it piece to go under the flange. My plumber has told me he would like the flooring in the bathroom to be laid before the toilet and basin are put in but my builder has told me the vinyl would usually be laid after they had been installed.

Then i leave a gap of 1 4 or so to the rest of the flooring that will be. Toilet flange is set from previous flooring do i need to get a spacer to raise it to flooring level. Floor coverings such as vinyl then are placed on top of the subfloor. Should a vinyl floor in a bathroom be laid before the toilet and basin are installed or after.
