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.

That stuff is used all the time in commercial buildings, so I wouldn't worry about durability. Personally, I'd rather lay linoleum than screw with cutting all those squares though.

How do you cut it to size? I'm guessing you don't have to use a system like ceramic, but at the same time it may require something other than bandsaw.

If you've laid quite a bit of tile you know to pay attention to patterns and don't skimp on the glue. Buy a good brand. Other than that it's not that tough to lay except around the toilet.

My understanding is that you cut via score and break. The bad thing is that it's a bathroom. The good thing is that it's a small area. You have to buy it by the box of 45, so I'll have plenty of extra pieces to screw up and cuss at before I get it right.

Durability wise it will still be in good shape untill you get sick of looking at it.

Sorry, no help here. I did, however, just watch a guy lay ceramic tile in our master bath.

$2K seemed a bit pricey for three days work, but WTF.

Easiest way to do it is to score it. But you could probably find a cheap tile cutter at Home Depot or Lowes.

Heh, yeah. I've watched the poor maintenance guys at a school replacing tiles that got screwed up. Blowtorch and electric scraper. FUN FUN!

Moooo
I've seen some installers heat it up with a propane torch to soften it and cut it with a utility knife. That said, I'm not sure if that is the manufacturer's recommended method.

Around the toilet? Why wouldn't you just pull it out, lay the tile and re-seat it?

I have access to a tile saw, so that's no problem if it will work on it.

How big was the bathroom? I did quite a bit of tile and carpet work when I was going to college years ago. And both my Bro in laws are installers. Damn good money

The actual laying of tile is super easy. The knowledge to do it right so that you're laying it on the proper material (hardy backer or whatever) is where you can screw it up. I just helped a buddy grout a slate floor on his screened in porch this morning, though. For anyone whose ever had that pleasure, I'm sure you can feeel my pain. Grouting regular tile is a cinch. Grouting slate...

I don't know, to be honest. Probably 150 SQF.
