shipping might be spendy, someone literally just stole mine yesterday from a jobsite. Nothing else, just the damn roller. Who the hell does that.

you say vinyl tiles, but are they in fact vinyl (and are they the actual bottom layer), and are they well adhered (attempting to remove them super difficult in all places). Is the objection to removing them time or money. If you are DIY and simply want to remove them easier there are ways that...

question, is it glue down or is it click lock.

Well, not anymore it isn't

I personally drill and tap in aluminum drives to set my tack strip in basement or over concrete scenarios. There are adapters and solid square tungsten carbide tips that do not cost an arm and a leg. You would simple either replace the steel concrete nails that come pre-affixed to concrete...

a bit out of focus

That is a funny part of the country, I was trained in hardwood, carpet and vinyl there.

I only grout sealed one floor when it first came with the store I was with, the job is still looking fine 7 years later (was actually just at her house last week for more work and saw its current state) I have also installed several jobs with no grout sealer, and the vast majority with grout. I...
