How to transition carpet to hardwood carpettoolz.com

In this video I show one of several ways to effectively transition carpet to hardwood floors in a doorway

I found this very informative! Great video. The only thing that is currently stopping me is what type of staple is supposed to be used, and what length? No other video or forum i have come across dives into this in detail. Would you be able tell us what staple length or type you typically use for this method of transition?

Good and helpful tip. I am a hard surface floor installer. I don't install carpet but do have to trim carpet at doors where a laminate or vinyl plank transition meets carpet. Do you have any videos showing how to get a good clean cut on your carpet when cutting it to tuck up against a transition strip from carpet to a hard surface floor transition? Thanks.

Man, I’ve been wondering how my transition was so flush…now I know! Thanks dude!

That looks good, I'm installing laminate flooring on bedroom and Will keep the carpet in the closet.

Excellent method! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍

All y’all fools saying use a Z strip/bar. That shizz looks ugly as heck. What he did is exactly what is in my house and has been for 17 years smh. Excellent job.

Is this engineered hard wood? If not, does this work with engineered hardwood? Is that a staple gun? What kind?

[Danceeric]

So will it be left like that ??? Hope not, what about a transition piece where it meets ??

[joannd.]

can that work if its engineered wood or do you need space for expansion?

Use a Z bar and if it's a cheap carpet then you feel the gripper when you walk through. Plus you probably see the staples the the carpet not a good look

Hey dude that’s what Z bars are for .. you just made a hideous mistake in my opinion. That tack strip fitted across a doorway will eat its way back through that carpet in a month or so ... so unpro !!

Hey Mike thank you for your video's. If you were to install carpet in a room but bordered it with 3/4" hardwood solid Alder. Would you use a 15 gauge angel nailer on those 2-3 rows around the room? and if so what nails would work best to keep the boards from lifting over time?

Can I use a hand stapler if I don’t have an electric stapler gun?

[Slick_Daddy_Knight]

Not very informative. How do I remove my hardwood floors to put in carpet?

[geordiela]

Seriously this is laughable.... why not just put a Z plate on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
