Anyone experienced with Azrock Vinyl Composition Tile?

We're looking at laying this stuff in our bathrooms, but we're concerned about durability and whether it's a DYI project or not. I've done a lot of tile work in the past, but never worked with this stuff. Anyone have any experience and/or advice with it?
Here's a link.

If it's a ceramic tile saw it will just rip it up. You need something like a paper cutter type deal.

No, I've no idea. I did seal the grout on this floor though. I felt very handy. Then again, I had no idea that grout needed to be sealed. The gay guy at Home Depot filled me in.

Gotcha. I was sort of thinking the same thing about an actual tile saw. You're talking about the tile breaker things that look like a paper cutter. I can probably wrangle one of those up as well. Thanks for the advice.

Did he sell you one of those cute little bottles with the roller attachment to apply the sealant?

I'm assuming that includes walls and shower. But it does seem a little high. I hope to hell they did outstanding work.

Heh. That's my problem. When I framed houses we had a saying when we screwed something up: "Can't see it from my house." Great work ethic to build for construction, since now all the work I do is my house. I'm actually getting better, but cranked-out stick framing crews aren't the best places in the world to learn the finer points of home remodeling and making things look pretty.

No. That's just the floor.

For some weird reason, they carpet the bathrooms in Colorado. So, we ripped that out as well as the vinyl in the head.

Yeah. You don't want to use a actual saw on VC tile.

Alright, I can now give my wife the stamp of approval on her material choice. Thanks for all the help. I gotta go to bed.

A lot of people put carpet in the bathrooms. I'd never do it cause if the toilet overflows you're fucked but people like a warm floor.

I know a guy who put in heated tile systems. He said they were cheaper than you thought, but still in the 4 digit range.

The Air Conditioned Tiles were pricey, though.
