My coretec plus is ever so slightly higher than the hardwood I'm trying to transition to (maybe 1/16 or 1/8"). Do you think this T-molding is the way to go or should I go for their reducer?
dont you just hate that plastic trac coretec uses and their trim stands to high off the floor. i have seen some of the other companies tmould set much flatter and have a metal trac that you can drill and anchor. coretec is very popular in my area and is a great product.
I've never used the jet tac but I've heard its tough. I feel like that transition is never going anywhere ever! I lay a lot of cortec as well. I always use aluminum drives and back it up with gorilla construction adhesive, because I've been impressed with its ability to hold slightly warped hardwood transitions. And if you get the square bits and aluminum chuck for your cordless drill, it takes no time do the aluminium drives. Nice work in this video btw
Good work but I think any transition piece looks ugly. I prefer to make tile and wood floor flush with no gaps and no transition piece. It is harder to do but looks nicer.
Glue or screw. Both are effective. Ive seen screws come loose same as glue. If do correctly either will work fine. Glueing is faster and time is money.
Ugh. I hate these ridge like transition strips. They are just trip hazards. At my house, I insisted to the builder that they make ALL of the tile-wood flooring transitions abut each other directly with nice and smooth and level and straight, lined up directly under the doors, without any of these ridge transition strips. And they did, and they all look far, far better than anything in this video. As far as I am concerned, these transition strips are just a super lazy way for the tile installer to put in the wood and tile. With proper planning, even if the tile and wood planks are not the same thickness you can get a smooth and straight joint without any of these trip hazard ridges in the doorways.
Do you mine tell what the color name your installing thanks
Great video Thank you. Quick question: What was the difference in height between the planks when they butted up against the tile?
R A Thank you, it was probably about an eight or 3/16
@@FloorsbySouthernboys Oh ok great! That gives me a good Idea what my difference will be. Thanks for the great tips and videos!
R A Thank you I’m glad your help and good luck with your project
Hi! Which kind of jet pack epoxy are you using? Is there a specific number?
*Thank you!!*
Zach Van Harris JR Glad to help
Excellent video, great work my friend!!
Todd Abrams Thank you sir
Thanks a ton!
You're welcome!

Dan Brantley With it being so minor I would say that the T molding would be just fine
T mold the reducer mite be the high
I'm going to have to do the same thing at the kitchen entry. But I'm using a band saw to make the cut. I think it would be safer.
Starpartyguy Yes sir sure would
Thanks for the video!
Can that specific style piece be used to transition from LVP to carpet?
Danielle Dubson I would not want to do that it is a T molding and four at joining to carpet you would want a bull nose or a end cap
@@FloorsbySouthernboys thank you for responding. This helps tremendously.
Danielle Dubson You’re welcome, glad I was able to help
The first thing I learned about razor knives is to never cut towards yourself for obvious reasons.
I would strongly encourage people not to cut toward themselves

Stephen Boyd I love the product to but I hate their transitions
we are laying so much of it I bought a bullit cutter that cuts it like butter and also cuts laminate and hardwood.
Stephen Boyd Nice

This is a floating floor so you can’t guarantee it’ll stay nicely butted up against the tile unfortunately.
Why wouldn’t you just drill holes and screw it downs instead of making a mess with that glue
Anthonythesider There was no mess, plus it was a plastic track
Geez I wish I could actually hear you!
Sorry about that, I tried out a different camera in this video
try using a utility knife just scoring and snap you're going to hurt somebody using a flimsy carpet blade
You are suppose to drill those to the concrete
Anthonythesider OK cool, thanks for the heads up
