What happens to the hardwood that attaches to this plank on the sides? They need to slope a little bit too, right? But would you only curve them close to the transition and then gradually transition to flat?
Good question, if you gonna make it flat, need to cut this transition with 45degree both sides and put triangles. Then other boards will be flat. In this case very little slope, not visible.
I am about to install a lot of hardwood in my new house I was wanting to do the same thing but I am worried about expansion. Do you think with all the floors you have installed that I would not have to leave a gap at the transition?
Hi, nothing special, just put something on front of your transition make even floor and tile. Don't forget cut side of transition little angle which is connected with tile.
Could you do a video of a sloped header install?
I don't have a recent job with different level tile and hardwood floor. Now most popular in Vancouver flat transition with same level. Thanks!
What do you do if the tile is higher than the thickness of hardwood? Would you put more glue underneath the hardwood? Thanks
Nice video 😎
Thanks!
😃

What kind of hardwood flooring you’re going to install- solid wood or engineered wood flooring?
Engineered
What adhesive did you use?
Bostik
Yes, Bostik EFA.
Do you need to leave expansion against tile?
Hi Harold, I didn't leave a gap, recourse other side of hallway is open and engineered floor don't expended to much. Thanks!
Need to install a wood transition? Watch how to do it even if it isn't possible!
What if the tile is thicker than the wood?
Hi, nothing special, just put something on front of your transition make even floor and tile. Don't forget cut side of transition little angle which is connected with tile.
what do you use to clean the glue off the wood?
i use mineral spirits but if it's not immediate its stuck
Our glue is water base. I tried to work as clean as possible and clean up glue right away and use regular napkins for it.
what about when you use bostik? or mapei 980?
I work with Bostik EFA. It is very easy to clean (even with finger). When you work with glue - the main idea to work as clean as you can.

Your tile was exact same thickness as wood ? Did you just put the wood flush to tile ?
The customers from Vancouver BC ask to install all floors without transitions and now it is a rule. We install transitions only for floating floor.
Flush to tile is ideal
Fam, I wish I could be your camera man.
Welcome!
this is painful.
Nothing easy.
Fking genius
PLEASE use a TRIPOD.
Hi Roger, Thanks for advice. I promise, I will.
