    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...

    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.

    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?

    I thought you had to leave a gap off the wall you nailed it tight..

      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

    • @BAZZAROU812

      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..

    • @deankenny2482

      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.

    Great video! Difficult cut.
    Are you concerned about the tile grout lines showing thru?

    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?

    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.

    • @neomacchio4692

      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.

  • @kaulanaG14

    you shouldnt hammer it to the wall you need quarter inch for expansion.

    • @joshualwheaton
      @joshualwheaton 2 роки тому

      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.

    Why would u cover up ceramic tile with vinyl ?? That's a downgrade is it not?

  • @shannonbailey7580
    @shannonbailey7580 2 дні тому

    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.

  • @deankenny2482
    @deankenny2482 2 роки тому +1

    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.

    • @paulanderson2241
      @paulanderson2241 Рік тому

      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.

    • @jdmb03
      @jdmb03 3 місяці тому

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

    • @jdmb03
      @jdmb03 3 місяці тому

      @@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.
