** If your tackstrip pokes through so that you feel the nails, take a regular hammer and pound along the tackstrip (after it's all installed) and fold the tacks towards the tile. (should still be hooked into the carpet) then fluff it back up with your hand and good to go.
I will be installing vinyl flooring up to an existing carpet with a carpet gripper strip. Is this something that could still work before I install my floor or after. I'm worried there won't be enough good carpet to tuck.
Recommendations for any specific construction adhesive to use on the new tac strip? I have a no-cut/no drill high tension concrete slab and need to pull up about 50% of the carpet to replace a worn area with tile.
Tile guy did not put the A100 trim at my barhroom doorway . Went straight from tile to carpet. Now carper is frayed and i have nothing to tuck it under bc no trim. Any suggestions?
Thank you. I’m installing laminate flooring and will need to transition to our existing carpet. My question is where in the door jam is suitable for the transition - either good to carpet or a transition strip? Thank you in advance.
Need something that is more protective of the edge. This is fine until the pets and vacuum cleaner hit the edge of the carpet. Will look further for threshold coverings.
The tile had a schluter edge piece!! When tucking to tile or any hard surface you should double strip and use a sealer on the carpet edge before tucking it !! It will keep the rug from fraying.!
I have a master bathroom (Tiled) in the master bedroom (Carpet). I would like to be able to lay a new floor (laminate planks) over the bathroom Tile. Because I am removing the carpet in the bedroom and laying the Laminate flooring, I am uncertain if there is a possible way to transition from the bedroom( carpet being removed) and the bathroom/closet ( laminate on top of existing tile in bathroom.
Would this be the way to deal with a scenario where a portion of existing carpet needs to be removed in order to add a tile section for in front of a sliding door?
It is called a carpet kicker or carpet stretcher and can be found at almost all box stores that sell flooring. I would always recommend to check FB marketplace if no luck; Harbor Freight Tools.
Yes I have a question I want to transition my old carpet into a new vinyl floor and that's what this video was supposed to be about but it's not you have all new flooring that's easy
You would need something called a transition threshold. Often referred to as "Schluter-Strip" However, Schluter is just a brand name. Much like people call tounge/groove vinyl flooring "Pergo" (which of course is also just a brand name)
I'm, trying to put tile to connect with my old carpet my tile already have a thick pad underneath but I don't want to have the strip to connect the two together. In my living room from the front door to the hallway
Awesome video! I’m a tile contractor and I’m tired of carpet strips. This will be the only way I do it from now on. Thanks man!

This will not last! He should have put z-bar down with the tack strip. Invisible and holds down the carpet. Professional!

How do I take carpet out of a closet and keep my room carpet. I think it's a transition. I want to end up with no carpet in my closet.thank you
Would this be the way to deal with a scenario where a portion of existing carpet needs to be removed in order to add a tile section for in front of a sliding door?
Can you use the same process with vinyl tile, if you smoothly cut off the click edge? Or do you think just using T-moulding is best? Thank you.
my Q also - guess he's not resonding here,
Can you add a transition bar? Our carpet has been installed just how you’ve done it in the video but I’d like there to be a transition bar
Where do you get the tool to stretch the carpet
It is called a carpet kicker or carpet stretcher and can be found at almost all box stores that sell flooring.

How do you tuck a curve tile to carpet transition?
Try a slam bar and an actual carpet stretcher
What should I do to fix tac strip that pokes through carpet? They laid down trim where the carpet Mets the tile but we get poked by the tac strip

Nicely done!

How would you transition 18mm rubber gym flooring to carpet that is 7/16" on a concrete floor?
Last nail popped up
What if the tile was cut too short how can I fix it under the door frame
So what is the gap size between the tile and strip to tuck?
Quarter inch or your finger tip!
What if there is not a strip of extra carpet?
How do I replace carpet and tile combo to hardwood one level: so I have to remove the tile ? How do I get the floors level? For the hardwood?

The reason the edge lifted is because you left a small piece of mortar in the middle.
So that's obviously not old carpet so this video doesn't help me
This is not old carpet what the hell
