Reply to comment by MotherofTerrier in LVP flooring buckling by MotherofTerrier

Actually he's quite incorrect in one of his points, which is another example of something Reddit is good at- misinformation. Your house does not expand or contract around your floor. It's the floor that changes size due to temperature changes.

That said he's right that cutting in an expansion gap is a good solution, just not for the reason he gives.

Thank you. What would you use to cut the expansion gap?

I'm not sure, kind of a weird scenario. An oscillating tool would work but it'd be slow. A biscuit joiner might actually work well, although it's not meant for that purpose. Not sure how the blade or motor would stand up to that kind of usage.
