When installing vinyl plank flooring or laminate flooring, there is not another tip like this that will save you this much time and frustration. In this video I share an outstanding tip on how to measure cuts using just a scrap of Vinyl Plank or Laminate Plank. This can be used on walls, door jambs, vents, exterior doors and anywhere you need to cut a vinyl plank or laminate plank. This works on crooked walls, wavy walls or both. It is really an incredible tool to use and you can learn this in seconds.
Here are the links to tools I use. If you use these links I do get a commission and my family and I thank you very much for your support!

I honestly cannot thank you enough for all the tips and tricks you share in your videos! This cheater board took me watching it a few times before it "clicked" but once I understood and applied it to my flooring installation, I will just say GAME CHANGER!! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your wisdom and taking the time to educate us n00bs!!

@richardstarkey7665 2 жыл бұрын

At first was a little difficult to grasp the cheater, but once I understood your method, it was great. I spent hours in my kitchen measuring, then watched your video and I was flying through the cuts. Not only was I flying through the install, I no longer needed a tape measure. Thanks for posting that video. This trick saved me a lot of time/hours, and the cuts were more exact then when I used tape measure. THANKS AGAIN. This was my first plank install and was easy after watching your video

The detail you share is just amazing! You understand that many people just don’t understand, and thats, well, very understanding of you man. You’re a good teacher, which is much harder than just being a pro at what you do.

Thanks for the tips. You make it simple for anyone who is mechanically inclined. I just did my kitchen floor and it went good. ( I had several difficult spots, between your videos and realizing that putting the pieces together backwards would be possible I got them done). I went with LL CLX XD because of your other video.

@leebo4203 2 жыл бұрын

In the UK this is how we do it I wouldn't know any other way to do the cuts, we call it 'tile on a tile" method or back marking. Works for nearly all laying methods except heringbone installation 👍

This is how it should be done in each room as you extend the plank into another room.

Yeah, all very nice. But I don't have planks already installed that can use that trick. I'm coming from a living room, with planks parallel to the hallway. When I reach the corner that extends into the hallway I have to cut the planks lengthwise to fit around the corner against the hallway wall. From there it is just guesswork to lay planks in doorways and between 2 cold air returns.

@acuity1980 Жыл бұрын

Can I ask a potentially silly question? If you use a block to tap your planks in, won't that damage the click T&G? I'm currently in the planning stage of laying down vinyl planks in hallway/kitchen and two cupboard storage spaces to lay floor as well. In one area there is a cluster of three doorframes in close proximity to each other. I'm dreading it! We're also planning on getting new door linings. Would you say it's advisable to lay down the floor first and then place the jambs on top or the other way around? Thanks for all of your videos!

Floor looks beautiful, and you're a good man for helping people, unfortunately for me, I'm a novice, can't afford to pay a contractor, have $2,000 worth of flooring, cuts are all off, floor looks horrible, and I'm destroying piece after piece because the measurements are all off and the cuts are all really way off. I know that's the whole point to this video, but I'm still not getting it. 4 years now with no flooring in my home
