QuickStep Livyn - what to cut with

[shd1970]

I'm currently trying to put some QuickStep Livyn (Ambient Click) flooring down in my kitchen

The information seems to show that you should use a concave blade (got some from Toolstation) and then snap/tear them.
You can buy a QuickStep fitting pack which seems to just consist of a similar concave blade and a cutting guide to stop you cutting your fingers off as you have to press SOOOO hard !

You don't actually cut the tile, more just score it and then snap it which doesn't give the greatest of finishes although i know it will be under the skirting board

Has anyone else fitted this stuff and can recommend a better way of cutting ?

The tiles are great and look lovely, but as i said, they are mega hard to cut !

TIA

Jigsaw with fine blade.
But we use a concave blade.
Or use a guillotine

thanks daz

do you find also that it scores only slightly, and then you have to snap/tear it ?

Yes mate that’s correct. Hard to cut with a knife but is possible.
