Those boxes are heavy and that would be super impressive. It is really frustrating to spend so much time and money and get no response.
We have the same flooring in our second floor with no issues at all, so I’m thinking it has more to do with how the contractor installed it on our main floor.

He did let it acclimate for a few days and thanks for letting me know that moisture shouldn’t be the culprit of my buckling floor

The baseboard and the quarter round were installed after the flooring. I’ve heard of people doing what you are describing though.

The flooring was put down first, baseboard and then quarter round. So the baseboard and quarter round are on top of the LVP. I personally like how finished it looks with the quarter round. Glad to hear yours hasn’t buckled 🙂

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

Thank you for the reply and I will definitely take your advice. We have a few extra boxes of planks and can replace damaged ones if needed.

Thank you so much for the reply and luckily we have a few extra boxes of the planks. I have a feeling everything you said is spot on and exactly why Reddit is so helpful. Edit: What tool would you use to cut the expansion gap? I was thinking of using an oscillating tool with a flush cut blade.
