This looks way better than when I hired professional carpet installers to do. I had to rip it out when I changed my bathroom floor. Looks like something I can do and achieve a way better look than what I was originally given.
Great Video. Home Depot has Roberts 8015 sealer, but I was unsure if that was the same. Ill check around at some flooring stores if the 8015 won't work. Thank you
Thanks you for the video. I have installed many doorways with latex. With latex is the way to go! I think it is a little quicker to latex in the trough before stretching the carpet onto the tack strip. Thanks
I usually use my carpet trimmer to cut the carpet to the tile so I have never thought about that. I never lay text first because I do not want to get my trimmer in it. I cut it with my knife this time for the demonstration so it definitely would have been faster to do latex first while cutting it this way
Looks slick, but since the carpet nap sticks up slightly above the tile, it seems like the edge of the carpet may wear over time if people step on the edge or drag their feet on it. If so, could probably cover it with a trim piece.
Thanks for sharing. Can I just ask, if I needed to bring my wood floor up as the tiling finished 2 inches above the current wood floor boards (don't ask me what happened), how much lower than the finish of the tile would the wood floor need to be brought up to create a good transition please?
I'll have to get one. I had to pull the carpet back and expose the tack strips so I could repair termite damage on the load bearing walls. Now I'm finishing up I'll need to stretch the carpet back and put in the baseboard molding. There's no transition strip between the tile bathroom floor and master bedroom.
I heard that when people make comments on a video, it helps your channel? So here's a comment, I always double strip in front of tile and most transitions! All power walls also. Hook up and tucking go much smoother! I heard Home Depot was at 6.50 yrs in the Cleveland Ohio area? And there months behind on hard surfaces, that they don't want to pay diddly for! Good day sir.
Yes, it does help, I have been using tri tac all of my jobs for a while now, so I don’t blame you for the double strip. This text strip was already in stone and the gentleman who owns the property wanted out as cheap as possible so I reused it. I rarely rarely reuse someone else’s tack strip. But on this job I chose to.
Can't get 8502 locally, but can get 8015. Would that work okay? I only got one seam to do and If I order the 8502 it costs more to ship it than the actual seam sealer 😀
@@bmaedgen19 ive pulled up many doorways that's was glued with something guess it wasn't latex that was hard to rip up. You'd have to knock the tack strip up and scrape the edge of the tile
@@FloorsbySouthernboys = honorable man. I highly admire your work ethic. My philosophy is (I don’t do carpet installing full time, so this applies to my life generally speaking): It’s not as much the job that your are doing; it’s YOU that you are leaving behind. Great job modeling the stellar YOU that you are leaving behind.
You're a true craftsman and a great teacher. Thanks so much for solving my problem!
Thank you, glad to help
Thank you for the step by step. Excellent job. I’ve never used the latex adhesive for transitions, but I will from now on. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏼
Glad you liked it
Love the explanations using hand gestures
Awesome
Excellent instructions. Thank you
That looks great! Awesome tip about the latex, too, thanks!

That looks so tidy and neat
Thank you
Thanks for making it easy to understand
Great tutorial!
Ok, so how do you fix this kind of a transition when the nails start poking through the carpet into your feet?
Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.
You are absolutely welcome, my friend

@@FloorsbySouthernboys that makes sense. Using a trimmer would be much quicker I'm sure.
Great information.
Great video very helpful! Watched several of your videos and have found them very informative. Thanks for making them easy to follow and understand!
Great video showing the process!
Thank you sir

@@FloorsbySouthernboys , yep! Tri-tack with 5/8 crete pins and a bead of glue! I found it saves headaches down the road! Same on wood!
~ Very nice, Reuben!!! 👊🏽
Thank you
What would you use as a trim piece if the tiles were not cut straight across and are crooked ?
Probably a flat overlap metal transition that you could get from at box store
absolutely amazing.
Awesome, glad to help

Looks good Mr FBSB
Thank you buddy
Best video I seen on this transition .
Awesome thank you, I hope your project turned out wonderful
👍🏻
😀👍
❤❤ good job sir 👍
What country are you from?
Looks good
Thank you
Nice video
Thank you sir
Can't believe u don't use a spreader when stretching. Man I feel bad for the guy that has to rip that carpet up at that doorway lol
That Carpet won’t work loose from normal wear and tear that’s for sure
I've pulled up many doorways that have been latexed like this. The latex holds the carpet edge very well and the carpet is easy to pull up.

Transition by tucking into gap, no transition material at all...
@@RogerPack no transition at all
lotta messing around. there has to be a shortcut for when you are not paid as much.
I have been doing this for years with very little pay, it’s just a matter of wanting to do your best
