Your funny man. Like your techniques. I picked up some LifeProof from the HD. Holy smokes this stuff doesn’t want to easily snap. I’m no novice as I have laid thousands of square feet of plank vinyl.
For warranty purposes and if the house settles, you're not ending up with a messed up piece. All flooring like this that I'm aware of are floating floors
Yes.. This is a floating floor.. No spacers anywhere .. I don't like installers that don't have knee pads and proper tools.. Where's his tapping block..
I have a much easier method if youre willing to try. Push the board up to the wall and mark the board where the corner of the wall is. Use a square edge to follow the mark further down the board and an off-cut plank sideways up against the angled wall to get the perfect angle. Bring the angled line down to the corner point. And cut the straight wall as you would normally, again in line with the corner point you’ve marked out on your board. You should then have your cut without all the messing about.
Yep. Lay your new piece on top of an already installed piece. Be sure it’s lined up horizontally with the piece that’s already installed. Then adjust left to right to line up your corner. Then use a cut-off scrap piece against the baseboard and draw your perfect angle.
No. This is what you would call a floating floor installation. It allows the floor to move (unnoticeably) through time. This is intentional as the floor adjusts to the elements and movement on the surface.
Who on earth would put LVP over ceramic tile? LVP is worthless, it gaps and chips unlike tile. You have to drop something extremely heavy to chip a tile, just looking at LVP wrong will knock out a huge chunk with a gap just because.
All these geniuses in the comments saying it’s a floating floor, no, it’s a vinyl plank that is designed to be glue down with hard set glue. Floating floor is an interlock system where you click the boards together and leave a gap around the edges for expansion and finish it with scotia, or take skirts off and re fit after.
Im pretty sure its lvp and the shit snaps together with no glue neccessary, not saying i know everything but i literally lay 2000+ sq a week and we never use glue, but a square and a pencil help alot.
Actually geniuses y’all are both right and wrong. How I the hell do you know the manufacture requirements? That’s the requirements you should me not UA-cam comments. Check your boxes and meet there requirements. And Home owners please steer clear of lvp. It’s a Trend that is going to die out in 2-3 years. If you cant afford the real wood yet then save your money and get something that you really love. it will last much longer, even you folks on concrete slabs.
@@paulanderson2241 Real wood dings easily and requires refinishing which most people don't want to do when it involves the entire home. Wood prices are much higher than LVP for product and install.
Never, ever cut vinyl that is laying on top of installed vinyl with a utility knife, because you could accidentally make a mistake and cut into your installed flooring.
You can also take a piece of cardboard and cut it out to the shape of the corner and just trace it on to your plank...
I love your personality coming through your video, nice job. Thanks for the tip.

I need to cut out a long a 1950s bathtub that has the "bump out" in the middle. What's best way to do curves adjacent to bathtub?
Contour gauge is a must have
I thought you had to leave a gap off the wall you nailed it tight..

It isn’t a floating floor, it’s a vinyl plank that is supposed to be glued down with a hard set glue to prevent expansion and shrinkage.
What about doing a curved edge on a step? Basically a curved stair.. possible?
Great video! Difficult cut.
Are you concerned about the tile grout lines showing thru?
Thank you!! With this product I’m not but some of the cheaper ones will show for sure!
You should still patch the tile
How many times do you want to "go ahead" and do something?
Hmm I use spc stone vinyl or some shit I tried using my utility knife scoring etc it just doesn't cut does this only work on certain vinyls?

yes dis
Yes yes yes.
Nice man. But. The way you explained it , unfortunately diy peeps won’t understand
Yep. Lay your new piece on top of an already installed piece. Be sure it’s lined up horizontally with the piece that’s already installed.
Then adjust left to right to line up your corner.
Then use a cut-off scrap piece against the baseboard and draw your perfect angle.
what about leaving a gap for expansion? I see people butting these planks against wall.
you shouldnt hammer it to the wall you need quarter inch for expansion.
This customer probably had issues with buckling thanks to no expansion gap.
Damn. Thats dope. Thank you.
Awesome about to do this
Yeah try that with a much more detailed angle
Thank you!👍
I must have weak hands I score and score and score and still have to use every bit of strength I have to snap my boards
Looks like he has thin planks
That's trash material.. And install.. Lol
Sliding bevel even easier?
THANK YOU!!!!
Do we need glu to fix it on Tiles?
No. This is what you would call a floating floor installation. It allows the floor to move (unnoticeably) through time. This is intentional as the floor adjusts to the elements and movement on the surface.
Small tip: Don't score the plank on-top of the plank you just installed.
You go all the way to australia just to eat in london… ir works but i do it in a easier and faster way. Anyway good tutorial
If you want something more easy buy a : contour gauge
Looks like he's never used a cheater board before. It's faster and simpler
Why would u cover up ceramic tile with vinyl ?? That's a downgrade is it not?

Is he using glue in the video? No, he is using click-lock. LVP can be installed as click-lock or glue down.
