The Cali Vinyl Pro planks arrive long, and—depending on the style—their length can vary. If you want to cut the vinyl planks, you can use a miter saw or a utility knife. The first plank in the row should be at least 8” long, straight, and even. Always start with an uncut plank; then you can cut the other planks to different lengths. When installing the Vinyl Pro planks you should start from the right and alternate between different plank lengths to achieve a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
