You're very THOROUGH without being too complicated or cumbersome. ❤ thanks👍

[@podcaster_emeritus]

Just the video I needed. You answered every question that I had after buying the same transition strip. You even put a link to the nails you used!

[@bigsidable]

Very good video. As a handy man I’ve taken on many project because of people like you who teach and show us how to do things right the first time. I started my painting business in 2009. And there was always other things that needed to get done in the house. Before painting. So I decided to learn how to do anything that a house needs. For two reason. The time factor. Waiting on other people to get stuff done. 2. Get as much of the dollar out of that house as you can. 3. I know what’s been done. And no surprises as the job moves on. Keeps me working. My motto is. From the crawl space to the roof and all the surrounding property. It’s amazing that I may get the job for one thing and next there are things added as the job goes on. Thanks for all the help people like you give.

[@the13thfox46]

Thank you so much, I am such a visual person, this explains everything I need to know to do our transitions to tile

[@lindaroyal8161]

It's my choice, you don't have to worry about it - ha ha ha! Another project that you make look so simple. Looking forward to the walk through of the finished, decorated room. TY.

You are such a good teacher.

[@Torbox1]

Great video and great installation as always. Whoever gets this house after you will be very lucky. You mentioned probably getting a new house so you had more room for your growing family, I'm sure a lot of people would love to watch you fix it up as well. Keep up the good work.

[@cat07777]

Beautiful clean work. Thank you for showing us easy step-by-step directions.

This was so helpful - thanks!! This is the only video I found that provides clear instruction as to what all the parts are and how to use them.

Thank you for posting this. I needed to cut the transition strip, and your instructions helped to make the cut perfect!

[@patriciashmidheiser3432]

Just getting ready to put in transition strip and this is the first video I watched and all I need, Thanks, great video!

[@EddieGoodluck]

Reminder: When installing the wooden floor, make sure to slide the track underneath the floor. Otherwise, the floor will need to be cut. However, the installation of this transition strip is perfect. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this! Helped me figure out how to hold down the shims and channel lock. Also made me realize I needed to break the side off of the shims.

Excellent video i learned a lot …sometimes I am asked by customers about the threshold and as you said there’s two types one with the nail and one with the snap in so by explaining all of it so thoroughly I am able to suggest the correct products….thanks again

[@markhoward3851]

I installed that same kind of transition between our kitchen and living room different color vinyl planks. I used 18ga staples in my air stapler, and it cracked the gray plastic in a few places. I should have used nails like you, nice video!

[@ismailkhan7755]

Helpful, thanks sir ❤

[@ethanwillinger7058]

Such a good video! Thank you! I recently installed LVP and the transition strip made no sense to me and I have this exact same kind and wasn't sure if I could cut my already installed LVP to fit the transition piece in the right spot.

[@AG-yj1jv]

Thanks! Been putting this off for 2 years since I fixed the subfloor & put new vinyl down. Landlords want to sell, so I want to make it look nice before I go. I didn't quite know how to deal with such a close but not even height. Thanks!

Perfect timing! I'm currently finishing up installing my vinyl laminate flooring and having to install my transition strip between my kitchen and living space. I was wondering if I could use my Makita Multi tool to trim off the excess vinyl flooring and your video answered my question. Thanks for your very excellent tutoring!

Which is the best way to install on a concrete slab ?

[@steveareeno65]

They sell concrete anchors that are similar to drywall anchors. You'd need a hammer drill to drill pilot holes for the anchors, then you just screw the transition base plate into the anchors.

[@sais9221]

I did the same thing installing two different vinyls colors in bedroom and the main room because the first vinyls type was discontinued. I bought those exact transmissions but haven't had a chance to install them yet so your video will greatly help me on this. Thanks!

This was a great video. I have to do the same thing but on concrete. Could I use small tap cons where you used the small nails or should I just use glue. The vinyl floor is meeting up to carpet. Thanks for any help.

[@alexanderperez1765]

Best disclaimer ever

[@djohn-xe8vk]

Great video. I installed this same transition recently. the hardest part was snapping the transition piece onto the underneath piece. it was really hard to do. you made it look easy.

[@misteress8008]

same, i almost broke the transition strip (bought at HD, maybe that's part of the problem, transition strips shouldn't be that hard to get into the channel); i couldn't get the transition strip to properly sit, clipped into the channel underneath. I ended up glueing the transition to the channel and pushed it down best i could. I can't afford to purchase 7 more channels at $50 a pop, only to find out they don't clip in properly either. Probably my error, but should it really be that difficult to snap in?

Well done video! Do you also have a video to LVL to carpet transitions AND transitioning the direction of the LVL w/o a transition strip. For example when changing direction from a family room to a hallway? Thanks!!

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Depending on the floor height difference, a reducer is needed, ive never used that kind of transition
