@MaxPower Vinyl planking is almost the standard for many bars and restaurants these days because of its durability. You should be all good Glad you're getting a "pro" to do it. One thing.... hehehe flooring installers HATE it when the customer stands over them all day watching them work. And it's even worse when they don't talk I'm not suggesting that you do this but I kind of hope you do Make that bastard squirm!!
Super cool that you're not just a hardwood aesthetic purist on flooring.
The true vinyl planking has come a long way since the early days of Pergo which always make me think of a small dog with untrimmed nails chasing ping pong balls...lol...
Just always be sure these planks are solid vinyl and not a laminated product with wood; it's easy to get sold a factory finish and not realize it's a composite which will be poor with spilled water.
Then you give him real insider secrets on silently watching, too freaking funny. Hope that one doesn't go reverse karma on you...

The blade replacements are pricey (about $60) and the diamond blades for undercutting brick and stone can get up to $100 and sometimes they last only one job Depends on the size of the hearth and what it's made of. Undercutting stone is the dustiest job ever! Swiffering wouldn't cut it.
Wow, lucky pick on my part, but it had some awesome specs.
I've done wet concrete sawing and I can tell you one thing, the water doesn't even begin to keep all the concrete dust down, stone is just as bad. It sure helps if you have a respirator, ear protection, and a helper with a really stout shop vac to work alongside you. Even then I advise tenting the area with poly and tape to contain it all - like paint these jobs are 95% prep and 5% actual work, so don't skimp up front.
I'm looking forward to seeing Max's pics, nothing beats before and after for satisfaction.
