Wayne Fuller yes good stuff
This is awesome! I'm doing a bathroom remodel with LVP flooring, and I've been stumped with the base boards, and keeping everything water tight. I've been scouring Google and CZcams for a solution, but nobody really covers it. Thank you sir, I now have a game plan!

Thank you
I put a little Gap and I rip a stick of T-CAP and use polyurethane adhesive and put it over the Gap tight against the tub and use clear silicone on the trim where it meets the tub.... Looks great fully functional .
Looks good

Dude, thank you! That's the answer I was looking for.
You’re welcome very
Thanks for posting this Video! This is a great and informative video. I've been looking for a good LVP/TUB transition method and this is the best I've found. I'm on a slab also. I may have missed it, but can you please tell me what you use to cut your miters in this product? Can it be cut with an electric Mites Saw? Thanks again for posting this, it's been extremely helpful!
Very helpful👍🏼👍🏼
I see water going under the 1/4 round. Maybe a flush to the floor bead between the tub and flooring before the quarter round goes down. Excellent solution and product you presented. Thank you for the video.
James Haydel 👍
This is great. Had tile put down in my master bathroom and we have a large jacuzzi tub and when they demo-ed the old tile, they removed the trim around the bottom of the tub and instead of keepingi it, they threw it away. They don't know what to do now and this is an excellent solution. Going to be ordering this thx! Just need to decide if I should get white or almond. The tub is white, but the surrounding material, the outer shell so to speak, is ivory or off white. Thx for the video!
Where do you purchase it?
@@denise6055 I found it on Amazon.
Thanks so much. Brilliant
Great tip. Can you share where you got that? I've searched but can't find anything without adhesive on both sides of the trim.

Great video!!! I have a neo- angle tub. Hoping I can use the same material you showed since it will need to bend around the 45 degree angles I have.
im sure it will
yes sir here you go floorsbysouthernboys.square.site/
Great vid
Thanks for this video. My tub has a bump-out part in the middle and I was wondering how I can mode something to match the shape. Thanks again I have to look in to this product.
If it is a gradual bump out it will mold to it but if it is a sharp bend or bump Out here probably will not stick
I ended up using some PVC trim and bending it into shape using a heat gun and gluing it into place while using weights to keep it pressed to the tub while the glue set, still holding strong
What brand is this trim? Do you use the same type for the rest of the bathroom trim/moulding? Thanks for the video I’m planning on using this for our bathroom
Thanks for this tip.!
THANKS FOR THE TIP!
😀👍
Good info. My old quarter round was nailed into the floor (over linoleum) and I was going to do the same when putting it back over vinyl plank. I'm not sure how much these planks will move as they are the stick-on kind, but after watching this video, I think I'll just run a heavy bead of silicone and use it to glue the quarter round down. If that doesn't hold, I'll search for the product in this video. Thanks for the info!
This is exactly what we need. What is the product name and Where can I purchase this???
0..
Great info thank you
Thank you sir
Not a big fan of 1/4 round all the way around the room, but that's a style preference. It's a handy solution for the tub though. Thanks.
It seemed to me to make more sense (I'm no expert. BTW) to remove the floor moulding and put it back after the flooring.
Do you have any suggestions for tubs that are not straight? Mine have a section in the middle that comes out wider than the rest. I am so glad I watched this video! I almost put caulk on this gap I had no clue it had a purpose!
I sure don’t that’s why I use this product, if it is not a huge curve than the half-inch of this product will work fine, it is really pliable
2:24 “gon do bout ye much rite dare” 😂
This little czcams.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Thank you buddy
Great information. Would that 3m piece also work with tile instead of vinyl floor?
So, you attach it to the tub? What keeps the water from seeping under the rubber piece? Do you use caulk somewhere?
Try white self adhesive base cove, it's rubber and flexible, it's the perfect solution!!!
thanks
I'm thing that just using silicone to seal gap is good. Silicone stretches, and easy to monitor if exposed. If silicone does not do the job, ca always add this strip later..
thanks for video
Thanks for sharing
glad to watch video. the planks will expand. i get that, thus reason for keep gap of 1/4 between walls and planks. question: ?? if you glue corner round to the plank, the corner round goes up against tub.
won't this glued corner round(butt up against the tub) to the plank beneath it prevent the planks from contracting and expanding as needed??
scooter12368 No sir this trim only sticks to the tub
thanks
scooter12368 👍
Were did you get the quarter round with the 3 m sticker on the back for trimming out the tub,I looked at home depot with no luck. I really like what you have done,looks great!!
You won’t want to find it anywhere else and unfortunately I am having a hard time getting some myself, I have some of the 1/2” in stock

lifesaver!

good afternoon FBSB,
Great video. you have undoubtedly helped many a DIY'r with this video. Thanks. Is the rubber 1/4 round paintable and since your video was posted quite some time ago, do you still have any available to purchase.. I need about 6'... thanks.
Yes sir
Can you stick it to the floor and tub if you have sheet vinyl? I have almost a 1 inch gap on one side. Also, I can’t decide if I should put the shim under the sheet vinyl glue it down to the floor at the point where the tub needs to be raised and then that would push the sheet vinyl up under the tub so the gap wouldn’t look so big but II still want to cover it, and then there’s the other option of just glue it to the bottom of the tub that sits on top of the sheet vinyl that would make it more easy to detach it if I need to. I would still have about an inch gap that needs to be covered.
This is one solution but there are others. You can install wood 1/4 round. You can install wood strip or plastic. You can rip. T transition down and install it where one side allows a gap. You can install bull-nose. You can install base trim as well so long as it's wood. There are many ways to cover a gap. And the gap doesn't have to be that big in bathrooms. I've never seen a bathroom floor buckle in my 20+ years as a handyman.
Has LVP been around for 20 years?
Doesn’t wood rot in wet areas?
@@DewTime The area at the foot of the tube does not get wet enough or stay wet enough to cause issues like that. However, you should silicone or caulk around the wood so that water does not get behind it.
@@DewTime vinyl plank has been out for more than 20 years guy.
@@qzetu ok
1.) would you use the quarter round if the rest of the bathroom does not have quarter round? 2.) Isn’t an 1/8 inch gap along the tub ok in a smaller bathroom, or where the flooring is not connected to rest of house?
JayZoop Only if you are in a really small room such as a bathroom that does not join to anything else, and the wall On the opposite side of the tub should have plenty of gap space
i can get the planks about 75 cents cheaper per sq ft for getting 5mm thickness then 6.5mm. is that a big difference? the area won't get much walking on it
You either take caulking which is a primary recommendation and the secondary recommendation is take a piece of shoe molding and get some “CLEAR, LOCTITE POWER GRAB” and glue your shoe molding or quarter round to the bathtub instead of trying to nail it in.
I have seen that a lot and it is always black places because they wood trim get wet all the time
@@FloorsbySouthernboys That’s true that’s the only bad problem about trying to put any wood products by the bathtub or water areas. I recommend getting vinyl products if you were going to be near any water areas.
Nice thanks!
Should you put chaulk at the bottom of the round?
Awesome.
Thank you , I hope it helped
Where can I buy the quarter round? Great idea and great video!
question: i have enclosed patio 14 x 8. i am going to lay down my panels out there. i have metal box about 1/2 high in height around the perimeter of this location.
you said not to put silicone caulking within 1/4 space perimeter because prevents expanding contracting. to back i would have like to done that. do you have any suggestions
what should be done to cover the gap since you said not to caulk the perimeter 1/4 space.
need some inexpensive method because the stuff you used appears expensive. and my planks already are going to be expensive.
What have you found to be the best tool to cut the quarter round?
Nice
Did you do the rest of the 1/4 round rubber in the bathroom that’s not up next to the tub or different material? Thanks in advance
This is why I use SPC. It is very stable and It has next to zero expansion and contraction so you don't need to worry about that Gap like you do with plain vinyl or regular laminate. I still leave a very small Gap but only about one eighth of an inch which makes sealing up against the tub effortless and clean with a silicone bead witch still allows for any minimal movement. Personally for me a quarter round at a tub looks Hackish. I'd rather see a clean line of ultra white silicone.
I think this looks great dude
I agree, this looks cheap! Silicone is definitely the way to go
Definitely not a fan of 1/4 round period , I always layed tight to a bathtub and never had a problem, remember vinyl plank doesn’t expand and contract with moisture, it really only expands under direct sun light or heat . Love your videos
Best video I've seen so far after watching a thousand and 10...where can I purchase it from?

Hi Ruben.
Wish you were here in Fl so I could hire you to do my floors! I have unfinished plywood stairs and got self stick vinyl planks to put down. The stairs do not get lots of traffic. No kids running around. Several guys at various Home Depot stores said the stick is strong and i don't need to put any xtra glue. I was gonna add some liquid nails. They also said no need to put anything down first as a prep. Just stick the tils down. This does not sound right. The box of vinyl says to use a floor primer on wood. ? What do you suggest? Thank you so much.
Gypsy Girl Definitely follow the directions on the box
Another solution is aztek molding and silicone. Just lay some 2x4’s down to foot some wood to add pressure to aztek. Personally I caulk it to the floor.
Water will get underneath the floor if you don’t. I’ve used this method for years and floors haven’t buckled yet.
But if there no seal where the 1/4 round meets the floor how are you ensuring that water does seep through and ruin your subfloor?
You will see water on the finished part... I wouldn't use something that will swell up in a bathroom anyway
Love the video how u cut quarter rounds went on site most sold out 😢
It will be back in stock any day now. You can use any type of handsaw or power saw
Question: If you can't stick it to the floor, I assume you don't caulk the bottom area of the 1/4 round either? I understand it's because the floor will move, but what about water getting between the trim and floor through that bottom area?
Very unlikely unless you have water just standing for a while
I always thought LVP doesn't expand/contract as much as laminate/wood? Should be negligible if you butt it up against the tub and seal w/ silicone right?
I have a garden style tube with a tile face/wall, do you think the 3m will hold to the tile?
I prefer a shoe mold since it has a little smaller profile. I cope everything I do. I am not a fan of cutting a 45 for an inside corner.
dont you have to worry about moisture getting under the bottom side of that where there is no caulk sealant on between the floor and the quart round?
I know they say that but in my bathroom I went tight up against the tub, and never had a problem with buckling.
Is there a link for this exact product ? I’m not having a lot of lick googling it . Looks like a great idea imo
Any idea when the white will be back in stock?
You could also use regular 1/4 round and attach it with liquid nails
Mine started coming off, what’s the best adhesive to get it back down?
Good video. What is the name of the rubber quarter round with one-side adhesive?
