Great video! I did not fully understand the gluing process on concrete as explained by the flooring salesman. Now I know how to do the T-molding on concrete. Thanks for posting this helpful video.
@creekyknees the only problem with drilling as I have done is that sometimes the tmoulding does not reach the track enough to catchit properly especially transitioning to tile
Thanks for the video. I purchased the transition strip and it came along with the metal track. I see you used the track, could you let me know what is the function of the track and can the strip be installed without the metal track.
Dear Casey. My long distance dedication goes out to my co-worker Bob. Bob, GET THE HELL OUT OF BED AND GET TO WORK. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THIS TRANSITION! Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
Usually you don't wanna see the molding from the room without the laminate, The tile should have run a little bit farther. Almost all doors are 1 3/8'', so I always have my molding end up halfway under the door. Also i never use tracks on concrete they are so hard to use and. Even on wood don't screw them down as the screw veers the metal so it's not straight. I use nails so the track stays straight. Most times I use flooring heat gun and put a lot of glue. The other option is liquid nails.
What it the depth of wood and tile is too far so the track/tang on the t-mould doesn't bottom out? Do the sell different height center tangs on these t-moulds?
Why not glue the channel in first? Also, how does the edge of the molding where it meets the door frame look? I think there is an awkward corner there?
If you look closely, the early part of this video shows concrete, than at about 1:00 shows wood subfloor, then switches back to concrete. Not that it matters. The video is clearly labeled as "glue down". My question is what KIND of "industrial adhesive". The vid shows heavy duty liquid nails.
I just tried gluing down a vinyl transition strip to concrete (without the metal track) using regular liquid nails. To my surprise 24 hrs later the liquid nails was as gooey as it was when first laid down 24 hrs prior. Is there that big a difference between regular liquid nails and heavy duty liquid nails ? I may try adding the metal track then gluing that down to the concrete with the heavy duty. What a pain having to clean up a big mess after it failed the first time. I need to glue it since my gap is not level due to a crack. screwing down the metal track would be difficult as I would have to shim one side first etc..just easier to glue it with something that will for sure lock it down.
Liquid nails heavy duty should work. Rough up the surface to be glued first, then clean thoroughly. Stronger than that is something called black mamba. It's used to glue undermount sinks to granite. $28 a tube though.
Loctite power grab > Liquid Nails. The proof? the oak 1/4 round around my fireplace.... liquid nails would pull away even after being set with weight for over 24 hours. the power grab? 20 seconds of pressure....... still set a week later.
I hate all laminate moldings these days. I'm currently looking for solid wood transitions to use. Then you can liquid nails and brad nail them. You cannot brad nail laminate mdf moldings they have no holding power. If you have uneven concrete you'll have to find weights blue tape won't cut it.
@@cruzdeleon1888 it's not so hard either. It's the correct way to do it. Masonry bit for under 3 dollars if you dont have a set and predrill then screw it in. That's the correct way. It's not hard. Just takes a little additional effort
Why don't you just screw down the track then it locks in. That's the whole point of it coming in 2 parts why clip it together before doesn't make sense....?
@ 2:30 The bounce in the floor with just hand pressure looks like 1/16" or more... I would kill myself if I was done and noticed this... I hope this is an example setup... that looks like a nightmare.
Wheres the sealer for the laminate? Dont think the laminate gonna be ablebggto expand w that rock hard liquid nail.....do it right....screw the track down.....seal the laminate w silicone.
the video clearly says for a glue down floor (in other words concrete.) that is why the track is used as shown. Liquid Nails industrial is VERY good stuff that i have used for 15+ years with great results.
Liquid nails is a poor choice. It use to be good but high school kids starting getting high from it. If you notice it is a different color. The wood&panel has the biggest difference. They took all the good stuff out of it which is why HomeDepot and Lowes checks your ID now just in case. Must be 18. The purpose of a track is to be screwed to the floor but never use them anyway. Hide all cuts under the door frame is also a good idea. Use Loctite 470 for moldings.
This video does not show you the correct way to install this trim strip. You first install the plastic cinch strip to the floor with screws or glue and after it is dry and holding well you press the molding T strip into it and then you have the correct installation for this type of a molding.

That was a very helpful demo, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Short & clear & taping down is very tip!
Thank you.....clear and concise video.
I wish this guy narrated as I f*cked up various home improvement jobs around my home.
Lmfao! Same.
Right
_now he realises the cut he's made is too short as he screams in anger_
Funny

Thanks for this simple technique to install transition. Can you advice how to remove broken transitions?

how would you install a track on a concrete floor then?
What it the depth of wood and tile is too far so the track/tang on the t-mould doesn't bottom out? Do the sell different height center tangs on these t-moulds?
I'm pretty sure the top ten songs are announced right after the glue is dry.
HILARIOUS!!!!
hi, why should put trap on bottom of T-molding? what trap does it for?
@FRISCO1001 Thanks for your comments! They make sense and address concerns I've had.
"And now, on with the countdown!"
Why not glue the channel in first? Also, how does the edge of the molding where it meets the door frame look? I think there is an awkward corner there?
How can the wood expand with all that glue in the way? Best to screw the tack down to allow the floor to expand
Wont the glue spreAd and go under the laminate and cause problems
What kind of glue is used for t-molds?
is there a way i can cut angles in the t molding with a saw? Guy at lowes would not cut them for us.
If you look closely, the early part of this video shows concrete, than at about 1:00 shows wood subfloor, then switches back to concrete. Not that it matters. The video is clearly labeled as "glue down".
My question is what KIND of "industrial adhesive". The vid shows heavy duty liquid nails.
It’s like “Dateline presents: DIY”
Where can I get the metal channel? My T-molding didn't come with one. I want to screw it to the subfloor and just press in the T-molding.
I was wondering why the metal is necessary
Can't find a good crap drill. Recommendations?
OMG this guy's voice.
Epic as fuck.

I’ve used liquid nails and did the same thing, did not stick or harden. I went with gorilla glue and works great
@@kenvul2875 I ended up using E6000 glue from dollar general store and it hasn't budged in 2 years..great stuff.
Silicone
Is this a quiz show?
Liquid nail use to work I don't know what they changed, but it sucks now and does not work any more
+youmadbro -correct
was thinking the exact same thing!
Thx
Do you have to use the track?
No but sometimes if you need little height yea.
Thanks RAND
NIIIIICE Voissss......................
what kind of glue will bond to tile?
Liquid nails heavy duty should work. Rough up the surface to be glued first, then clean thoroughly. Stronger than that is something called black mamba. It's used to glue undermount sinks to granite. $28 a tube though.
How do you transition from a room to hallway?

walk through the threshold.... duh... no, im just kidding man lol I guess that depends on the door frame?

Had much better luck w/LNs when I've wire-brushed both sides I'm interfacing. W/o that, I get similar results to yours. W/brushing, I get 90% results.

Discovery channel voice! an alligator is about to come out of the bush
Would double-sided tape work to keep it in place?
Why not just screw the locking channel to the concrete floor?
DikoMan haha true. Not so simple to screw anything to concrete.
It's not simpler, but it's often better in my experience. It's a pain, but that's why masonry bits are there.
@@cruzdeleon1888 it's not so hard either. It's the correct way to do it. Masonry bit for under 3 dollars if you dont have a set and predrill then screw it in. That's the correct way. It's not hard. Just takes a little additional effort
The missing minute and a half must be where he explains how much of a gap to leave between the floors.
Need enough for the cinch piece to fit in between the two floor types about 1/2".
no more than 3/4 inch
Duke Nukem, that you
Why don't you just screw down the track then it locks in. That's the whole point of it coming in 2 parts why clip it together before doesn't make sense....?
Joseph Scott going into cement floor. Pre drilling and adding mollys are a pain. Much easier to just glue
I guess thats one of those tomato, toma'to things
You missed the whole point of this video

You've got good eyes

archersarrow1 i don't care if kids are sniffing. it's ridiculous to screw up a good product because of some burn out kids

use PL premium and either screw the track down or use drywall nails to keep the track down. Liquid nail product is shit. PL all the way
crap drill the track best way
On concrete you can do either or. And that is the construction adhesive LN sells, NOT bath tub glue.. Talk about "nub"
I only glue if I'm gonna sell the house. Glue is never permanent
Why do all these videos look and sound like they are from 1982?
