doing my own vinyl flooring part.... so do I just end the vinyl exactly where I want the carpet to transition? No need to leave an overlap of half inch or anything? thank you!!
I have carpet from my formal living room transitioning to ceramic tile in my hallway. Man the edge of this carpet in looking all frayed and tattered. I was wondering if i should try to add a transition piece that would cover the ragged edges of the carpet (my subfloor is concrete). I would appreciate your suggestion(s). hopefully my description was descript enough :) . if not ask me some questions so i can clarify. thanks
@@jb-es5zj thanks JB for your response. You think I will need to pull up the existing carpet strip to put down this plastic strip for the transition piece 🤔
Laying carpet over tile , in bedrooms how to transition to bathroom, now that carpet it higher than bathroom tile? Any help with this greatly appreciated
I wondered if I could get your input. I live in a condo with T-track metal and the rubber transition from carpet to (what I assume) is wood kitchen floor. The issue is I'm in a wheelchair and it destroys those rubber inserts and has also frayed the carpet. I think a gripper metal would work better for my transitions. What are your thoughts?
It all comes down to preference the snap on transition(rubber insert) can be hard to get over with a wheelchair but the normal metal transition(gripper metal) would work just as well but imo just as easy to fray and pull away from metal if not installed properly(secured and tapped down) most installers just lay it down thinking the tack strips will be enough to hold the carpet and not mallet the tongue(top of metal) down to double secure the trans metal to carpet ensuring a lifetime guarantee. Even though it’s a lifetime guarantee the main traffic ways even if secure properly at transitions can still come back and fray with heavy traffic and wheelchairs if so you would need it restretched and or patched in at transition metal if not metal/rubber snap on transition replaced and or redone in full
Thank you for this video. I need your opinion what is good to put between my tile and carpet. The guys that fix my bathroom didn’t so a very good job finishing it. He just put some caulking in between those gap and its making a mess between walking in and out. I wish I can show a pic here.
I got some t molding going from lvp to carpet. Screwed in the transition track and now trying to snap in the strip. It absolutely will not snap into place and I am using a rubber mallet to try and snap it into the track. It will not snap in and the teeth on the strip are constantly breaking to pieces. Any ideas please?
Lion Gaming Rosario thanks for connecting! I personally would reach out to local installers and smaller stores in your area and ask them what they are currently getting paid to install carpet. I don’t think google would be super accurate on this as they most likely pull the lower average pay rate for this
I tend to use flat metals avoid any carpet seams in the room. So if I had a 30ft room seam on the side that's what I do. Than for concrete I use 2 gripper metal too for the seam. Have a nice day lol
Thanks. You give much more options than other videos I've seen. 👍
Thanks for the transition options! I can’t find carpet to vinyl transition demos( on concrete ).. could you elaborate? Thank you !

Put a track down with a rubber t molding

Can we us vinyl transition between carpet and concrete?
How do you find the labor rates for your state?

Seams are so easy though but I understand
How would transition from vinyl plank to carpet when it’s like a 1/2
They make transitions for vinyl plank
Love it
I liked your video on seaming (hot glue) 2 different carpets in a doorway.
Could you use t-molding in a case like that too?
What if you got an almost 2inch gap between carpet and floating vinyl floor?
Put a wood threshold in
Good video!!!
Thank you!
You forgot one other choice; you can "back tack the carpet" up to the other floor type for a completely invisible seam.
