That's a lot of advice in only 4 minutes. Super helpful thank you. I never thought about using a Dremel, great tip.

I have a smaller cutter just like this, tried a larger one but it did not rip cut. I am using a Table saw and a sliding compound saw too. Just discovered cutting around walls, my cordless Dremel with drill press stand, and the Dremel wand cuts this floor well for little cut areas.

Can you install luxury vinyl tile over existing tile?

Or you can just measure the width of the room and divide by the width of your vinyl plank. That way you’re not putting down and taking up planks.

Great video... Perfect for DIY'er. How did u finish it under kitchen cabinet/ unit... Do we glue or fix something to end... Just that it doesn't slip out?

did you do the area under the stove ? I am worried about the glass surface being above the granite countertop.

Since it's a floating floor, can you install under dishwasher, range, and refrigerator?

I only have a half bathroom to do about 4'x5'.

Can you install this right over linoleum?

This isn’t luxury vinyl tile. It’s plank. Tile is actually shaped like tile and interlocks differently.

I really hate this stuff! give me tile any day. I've been working on this for days and this shit is a pain in the ass to get to click together!
