How To Cut VCT Tile Without A Tile Cutter

How to make cuts in VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) without a tile cutter. It takes a little longer but if you don't do large amounts of VCT you probably haven't invested in a VCT tile cutter. Have any videos on flooring you want us to do? Just ask!

I would have to argue with the guys suggesting using a utility knife. A carpet knife such as he is using is fine. The angle of the cutting blade when scoring the tile glides better along the straight edge of the other tile. Not only that, the blade last's  longer.

One way to speed things up though. When doing a long straight wall, such as this. It's much faster to line up all the tiles along that row, then just go down the wall with your cutting tile. (your knife blade wont touch the floor)

@jasmasmasm Thank you for saying that , I use a carpet knife because I am so used to it and it feels very natural in my hand. You are also right that you can line up a whole row at one time.
