my transition strip was professionally nailed and 6 months later it is very loose. I am going to glue it back down. The installers were from Home Depot and I was not happy with them from the start.
Appreciate your feedback Dennis! We will make an updated video showing that with a clear adhesive such as the one by LePage called ‘No More Nails’ - an excellent alternative that is long lasting, clean and easy to install without specialized equipment. Wishing you all the best good sir.
We have low carpet to tile areas that we want to do this, but it would seem we would need an anchor of some type to ensure that the wood transition strips don't pop up. Do you have a video of how to install a wood transition strip (carpet to tile) and how to properly anchor it down for a tight secure fit? We have a low Berber carpet and tile, they are about the same height.
Appreciate you reaching out to us Cat! In this case, we would recommend using a clear adhesive by LePage called No More Nails, in addition to double sided adhesive in corners and middle of the transition strip - this would be mounted on the tile portion and some weights being kept on top of the strip during the drying process overnight and it will be secured well. Screwing down is an option however it would involve drilling into the tile to install the insert piece and may require you to hire a professional. Please email us if you have any additional questions you would like to clarify! Wishing you resolve this challenge with ease and enjoy an amazing day! 🌟

The transition piece should be under the door. The laminate should stop Just short of that spot leaving 3/4 inch from the start of the next floor on the other side of the door. This measurement can vary depending on the width of the transitions strip You will be coving with. The gap is for expansion for the floor through out the year. This will then have a gap so that both floors can expand and contract depending on the weather and will be fully covered by the transition strip.
Looks good! The wood always looks better than the metal strips. I have to get the Ryobi nail gun! Have a lot of their tools but this one will be a time saver!
ATTENTION VIEWERS: In our demonstration we made a mistake by saying to install the transition strip flush with the finish floor, please instead allow a small gap for expansion. Approximately 1/8" should do the trick! Thank you & good luck with your projects. Got questions? We're happy to help please leave us a comment & we'll get an answer to you asap ❤
On the T-molding section, since you didn't show the install of the click track and we can't really see it - I'm assuming you're using a click track that the molding installs into. If so - why would you finish it with nails? Shouldn't the click track (that should be screwed down to the floor) be enough to hold it secure?
In this application there was no track, however an alternative installation method is to use a product called No More Nails adhesive (clear preferably) to avoid surface nail holes and achieve a very clean & sturdy finish.
ruclips.net/user/shorts13_BhYa1CPM?feature=share Please check out the link above showing that you can use double sided adhesive in combination with a strong clear adhesive to mount your transition strip without making any visible damage to the face of your new piece. We recommend the No More Nails brand by LePage, found easily on amazon or at most hardware stores. Hope this helps! 🌟
Hi im doing a transition from a tile to panel floor with about a height difference of a 1/2 inch. We know how to do it on a straight edge however there is a section with a 90 degree angle. Every time we cut for the angle it creates a gap in the middle due to the height. If it was wood I could use wood glue and saw dust and just stain over it but its plastic molding. Is there a solution for this or are we kind of screwed.
An affordable product at your local HomeDepot called PollyFilla (can be used on many different types of surfaces, including plastic) may be suitable for this application, along with a colour touch up kit from amazon once it dries about an hour later. Best of luck on your projects!
But in the video you said to install the strip .. flush to the flooring... check it out.. But this is not the correct way... the strip should always be overlapping the flooring edge to get a clean look with Little spacing underneath for expansion and contraction like the strip you showed in your video with even floor level... my friend this is technicality and you missed here... you got to redo your video again... good luck... 👍
Your right, pardon me I was referring to the 1/4" space between the jambs to transition strip. Yes the finished floor to transition strip should have a little space for expansion too. Well spotted & thank you for your helpful feedback Suhel!
Masterpiece Renovation you are awesome... “Admitting a Mistake is not a weakness; on the contrary , it shows openness of your heart” Good luck my cute friend !!👍

Love the simplicity & quickness of your video. I now feel empowered, well at least until I began the work😅
Haha keep it up, looks a lot easier on camera 😅 you can do it!
Amen to that!😎😎😎😎
Love your videos! Very informative and makes me feel like I can actually do this repair w/o too much complications…🤨🤨🤨
You can do it!
Great work grandson!
Informative, and concise.
Wish you would have explained where to stop the laminate, and what it looks like with the door closed.
The transition piece should be under the door. The laminate should stop
Just short of that spot leaving 3/4 inch from the start of the next floor on the other side of the door. This measurement can vary depending on the width of the transitions strip

How do you cover up the expansion gap on your transitions when you are using the sloping one?
great information 👍
Thank you very much King Andy!!
Great stuff no fuss explain spot on 🙂 thank you for your time.
Appreciate your feedback! Thank you so much 🙏🏼 Please check out our other videos when you have a moment ✅️
Very simple DIY tip. Awesome work man. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
You explained this very well. Thank you. I've got to have a battery powered nail gun!
And I did-- Dewalt.
Awesome! Hope it's treating you well! 🌟
Thanks a lot 👌🏾

If I don’t have a nail gun, can I use a hammer and fix nails manually? What size nails to be used?

No tolerance for floor expansion and contraction 🤔?
There is a little space (its hard to tell from the video) about an ¼”
But in the video you said to install the strip .. flush to the flooring... check it out..

Thank you for your kind words & supporting our channel! Beautiful quote too :)
Good video. 👍
Thanks 👍
I used the same wood piece but the nails keep bending. I use a hammer
Clear adhesive and double-sided tape are also a great alternative too! Appreciate your feedback! 🌟
Can you link the transition strip you used?

Nice…
Thank you!
anyone know what length 18 ga brad nails should be used for a similar project?
Depending on the transition strip you are using this will vary (typically an 1 ¼” will do well). Alternatively you can use a clear adhesive such as No More Nails to achieve a very clean finished look without any surface nail holes. Best of luck on your projects!
Great
Thanks Jay, I like to use glue on my installs!
Nick Kramer Use PL grade glue for the strongest bond!
Great 👍 job son !
You are the best
Attaboy!
Geeze, stain after installation! No. Before
You sir, are correct ✔️
🙂👌🌟🌷
Thank you!! 🙏🏼💜
No need for u channel?
Depends on the transition, if the piece comes with one then screwing the u channel in place first is appropriate so that the piece snaps into place. In other cases using a clear adhesive and double sided tape in the corners is also a clean installation. Appreciate your question Maya! ✅️
