Make your own vinyl plank transitions!

[@burr6303]

I’ve been a floor layer for 19 years. Been doin big commercial/institutional work for the past 8. Jobs most folks wouldn’t know where to start on. That said, this might be the most insane yet amazingly useful thing I’ve ever seen. I had no idea. And that’s rare

Thank you, thank you, Thank you! The store that I bought my flooring from wants $70 for each 8' transition strip. This will save me a lot.

Buddy, you just blew my mind!! Thank-you, I just hope the wear layer will be as easy to peel as yours. Cheers.

Flooring Installer here from Canada I ordered the make-it-match tool back when you first did a video on it and have been putting it to alot of use making custom stair nosings and transitions even wrapping floor heat vents but now you just showed me more tricks to this trade awesome ideas! Thank you!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Glad you like it

[@innercityracer]

Also from Canada. What type of tape do you use? Where do you purchase it? Thanks

[@ramiy2843]

@@innercityracer sorry for the late reply, I use contact tape its a very sticky type of tape and find it adheres very well once heated with a heat gun but has to be applied smooth otherwise it will ball up like a booger lol I get mine from a local flooring supply store comes in different widths but im sure you can find some online

[@jordanputt4346]

How much would you charge per transition

[@RogerPack]

Just pull hard?

[@randallsemrau6911]

@@RogerPackPull, adding a tiny bit of heat with a heat gun on low setting. Be gentle, slow and patient with the heat and tension. Peel back more than you need for your transition piece, because the first inch or two of vinyl might be damaged by your exertion during removal.

[@tygoulding2547]

Wow. I was skeptical but I am thoroughly impressed. Well played sir.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I use this technique quite often on day-to-day jobs

[@bjeanne812]

GENIUS!!!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I now make all of my transitions. Let me take that back. I use Ali tramline transitions most of the time or probably about 60% of the time and I make about 40% of my transitions because they need to be custom for one reason or the other

[@geofffreeman2531]

Gotta say, Fantastic. Thank you, I am doing my own floors and thought I would have to buy off the shelf transitions or pay through the nose for custom. First one took most of an hour, second one 40 minutes. the rest about 20-30 mins each. I am joining some higher, some level, but once you get the basic techniques, you can make just about anytthing you need.

[@emilyannesmith4072]

I'm a diy-er as well, any chance you want to split the cost of the tape? We could use eBay for a safe transaction. Or do you know how to get a small portion of tape? I need about 30' and the roll is over 100' (and 150$)

I'm just installing vinyl plank in the house, and I came across this DIY as an easy step by step process and perfect match for my flooring. I was so concerned using vinyl and not matching transitions and open stair bullnose. Is there any video for open end stairs? I want to heat and wrap the stair nose, but I am concerned with the stair ends. Great video, I'm not easily impressed, but this was a jaw drop while watching. 😂

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@LairdMacKenzie I have a video on making stair nosing and I actually have another idea that I’m gonna be doing a video on stairs really soon but making your own stair nosing. I already have a video for them. Let me see if I can find it and link it to you.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@LairdMacKenzie this was a live stream I did but it shows you how to make sterno in and with that I even cut it on a 45 to make an open and stair nosing like you are talking about. Then there’s a little bit more involved, but it’s done directly you will have perfect stairs. kzbin.infoovQYjSu8SXQ?si=1E6N0fyVTUduE9Eh

Do you think you could peel off that top layer of vinyl by hand slowly with help from a heat gun? or do you need that type of peeley tool lol

It can definitely be done by hand this tool just makes it easier. Do not use a heat gun on it though until you are done.

Do you still use the Stairrods Ali Tramline Transitions? Or is this your new go to method for transitions?

[@trevorjames5493]

This is awesome , is this your idea? Very clever. Big box stores should be put in jail for the amount of money they sell transitions for and they never match 100% this is it the best way to do it if you don't have something come with your floor never go to home Depot don't do it ... Some people are a little dumb I guess they trust the name when they say free under pad or free installation they're still adding it into the price which you're paying double for to begin with.
