Watch Out For This When Redoing Floors In an Old House
What happens here
The presenter demonstrates the "angle-locking system" of the COREtec planks. Instead of tapping, the planks are angled into the preceding one and gently pressed down until they snap into place. This significantly reduces the risk of damaging the planks during installation. He describes this as a tool-free method for securing the long edges. He then uses a specialized flooring cutter (Ryobi brand is shown) to cut the planks to the required length for the ends of rows or for starting new rows with staggered patterns.
Goal: Begin installing the vinyl planks using the angle-locking system and appropriate cutting techniques.
