In this video, I’m breaking down the right way to cut luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring—and more importantly, when the standard “score and snap” method actually fails.
A lot of DIYers are told that cutting LVP is simple: just score it with a knife and snap it. That works… but only in certain situations. If you’re working with thicker, more rigid LVP products, or trying to make long cuts, you’re going to run into problems fast—cracking, rough edges, or planks that just won’t snap clean.

I’ll show you:
When the score and snap method works best
How to properly use a knife and speed square for clean short cuts
Why thicker LVP requires more force—and what that means for your install
The limitations of score and snap, especially on long cuts
When to switch to a table saw or jigsaw for cleaner, safer results
If your vinyl plank flooring isn’t cutting clean, or you’re struggling with snapping planks, this is likely the issue.
Whether you’re installing rigid core, SPC, or standard luxury vinyl plank, knowing the right cutting method will save you time, reduce waste, and give you a much better finished floor.
