Laid a lighter color in my laundry room and my staggered pattern in hall required a transition strip to that room. This worked great!
That's the best transition strip design I've ever seen
Exellent transition strip installation. Keep up the great work. 👍🏾
Nice video brother🔥🔥💯 Very helpful and keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Ive been doing it wrong all this time thanks man!!
As a installer with 45 years dolng hard surface, i try on all LVP floors to not use transitions, if a jobs going to fail its always the transitions. You have to use them on LVP/carpet transitions or use Z bar or metal, If you look closely these transitions are merely shelving paper on white plastic - cheap- most LVP companies say thier products can be used on commercial applications, but after a year or two the transitions wear an your left with a white stripe
Some companies restrict their total footage and require the use of air gaps that need transitions or T's for expansion. If that's the case then using this type of T is probably the best. Only problem is if you are trying to do a water tight floor, you cant use this.
I didn't want to use transitions with lifeproof but we started 2 rooms wrong way and have a seam. I'm going to make my own filler with scrap (Make scrap powder and mix with glue) Everyone can make opinions, bu in the end it's our house.
You are so right! It's your project! Go for it and have fun!
Cool thanks
Your still shot shows one type of transition (track-base), but the video shows a different type (screw or pin based). I'd LOVE to know where you got the one used in the video, as the HD near me has only the track-based ones, and they are a serious PITA and the track breaks on them when installing them if you are even a little bit crooked.
Thanks for the comment! When I posted the video, I failed to notice that the video and image was different. I found the transition at Menards. The plastic screws break very easy. I'm fairly disappointed in the product, to be honest.
Well, no Manards around here, so that didn't work out like I hoped. Yeah, the l track based ones are crap too. I got them to try l work, sort of, but they feel cheap and flimsy, and add I said, the plastic track frequently breaks while assembling them.
Too bad I love that design there's probably a way to upgrade it maybe if somehow the screws are less firm more flexible or have one that has holes for regular concrete or wood screws and then a little circle cap that covers the holes...
Ah fuck it there's a million kinds already out there
Thank you for this, so good
Thank you for the awesome feedback!
Looks good…
Nice demonstration on that is done. Can those fasteners be purchased separately as my transition strip didn't come with those?
I’m honestly not for sure. I’m having some of those transition strip fasteners break on me so I hope so.
Should’ve kept the flooring continuous
I agree that would look better! However, LVT doesn’t handle bottlenecks like doorways very well. It will the buckle and stretch.
@@diynatertater huh? I literally do it every single day at work. Never have any issues with doorways or anything. Lol
@@diynatertater what in the heck are you talking about?
@One good to know! Thanks!
Other room might have already been done
Where did you get this strip from??
I bought it from Menards!
Thanks :)
Welcome!
And…. “Cut!” Let’s line up the screws off camera, get them started and start recording again!
You know it, bud 🔥
I saw the thumbnail for your video, hey that is the horrible transition I need to install, I could use some tips. Yours was different from the video thumbnail, but thanks for sharing.
Estepisi es pude colocar en duchas gracias
muchas gracias lo aprecio
what is the model name of those plastic fastners?
I don't recommend those fasteners. They break every few months
Why not just run the floor straight through instead of putting that ugly threshold strip in? Looks bad.
I understand what you were saying! However, here’s what cancork flooring said:
Please use transition strips. Too many floors are ruined when the owner tries to go "seamless" throughout. A laminate floor will expand and contract more than most floors. This is not a problem until you get to a "bottle neck" like a doorway. When a floor expands through a door way it almost always ends in disaster.
@@diynatertater transitions don't even look bad tbh, people just love to throw their 2 cents in.
How to install on concrete?
You will need to buy one that includes a rail. Use Tapcons to secure rail. Then snap transition into place.
That transition molding is one of the worst ones to work with
hack
Folks are just adding videos for nothing hey?
I have 32yrs of flooring experience, and that separation is a joke...yes I see the difference, but seriously that looks ridiculous
I'm glad we all have our opinions! 🙂
