Jeff, For me, the fact that you do not edit / cut your videos when you encounter a problem ( like with the height of the transition strip) gives a lot of credibility to what you do. In reality, things are not always perfect the first time. Thanks & have a great weekend 👍

I was in on the laminate floor craze when it first started in the mid 90's. PERGO was the original laminate floating floor system sold in the U.S. I was an endorsed PERGO Installer for Home Depots. I installed thousands of these floors. Back then we didn't have snap together flooring. It was all glue together which required special ratchet straps that went from the start coarse of flooring to the course you were gluing together. It made the installation process more timely but I believe it was a much better product. No seams over time and the melamine and aluminum oxide laminate finish was pretty darn tough. As far as installing transitions , I cut the track and transition to size. Snap the track onto the transition and simply adhere both to the sub floor with Power Grab construction adhesive. Works like a charm and your not fighting trying to squeeze the transition tongue into the flimsy mounting track screwed to the floor. However you can certainly do it as you showed. I'ts just a pain in the ass. Personally I think doing it my way makes a much more secure transition as well. Never had a call back on a transition failing.

When trimming back the flooring at the transition, I find that using my small circular saw to cut as much as possible and then using my oscillating tool on the ends where the circ saw doesn't reach saves a lot of time. Great video, very well explained 👍

Trimming that luxury vinyl plank or laminate at the improperly installed door threshold area you might want to drop the recip saw and use your grinder ... "cuts" your time from 30 min and using a few expensive blade to 2 min.... with a 50 cent steel or masonry disc on the grinder... super easy (especially without the safety shield)!!!! You are blessing... well if there's a God and if there is not then you are at least extremely helpful!!!!! cheers, brian

My issue too for transition from tile to laminate. And the tile guy did exactly what you said, they finished off the tile too soon (who knew??). My daughter and I installed a floating laminate floor and the tile is higher and I can’t do just the T transition. More like the concrete to laminate only in reverse heights. Using the 4 in 1 transition set from Pergo. Had to special order, but worth it for the color match and options at hand for all the door ways. The nice part is they gave us an extra rubber piece to make it all match for the extra height for the underpayment. Sweet! One door is tIle to laminate and the other door is laminate to carpet. I love your videos. You should see this floor. Looks great and I am proud to say that I am a weekend warrior!

A carbide scoring tool goes along way to eliminate the number of blades and getting a straight line in cutting off the the flooring. Use a straight edge to run the knife along, to cut through the tough top layer of the flooring then cut with the oscillating tool. The tool is normally used for cutting laminate, and in this case will eliminate the chatter from trying to cut through laminate with a very high quality finish, by scoring a line through the clear finish and top layer. Great video !!

Hi, what's the best way to transition from laminate to carpet? I assume it's the same idea as the reducer you used between concrete and laminate with carpet trimmed appropriately to look neat as a T moulding would have half the T floating above carpet (so not supported on one arm of the T) and potentially be damaged over time. Or are there special carpet to laminate transitions?. Thanks
