To install a carpet to vinyl transition, slide the vinyl edge under the carpet’s curved edge for a seamless transition. Apply glue along the carpet edge. Place the t-molding track so its edge fits under the tack strip at the carpet’s end. Ensure the t-molding is securely attached for stability.
Next, prepare the subfloor. Ensure it is clean and dry for proper adhesion. Place the transition strip at the meeting point of the carpet and vinyl. Once positioned, press it down firmly. Use adhesive to secure it further, applying a thin layer as needed.
After securing the strip, use a roller to flatten any bumps and ensure a tight fit. Make sure there are no gaps between the carpet and vinyl. Allow the adhesive to cure as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
This simple process will create a seamless transition between carpet and vinyl flooring. A well-installed transition strip enhances the aesthetics of your space while also providing safety. Now that the transition is complete, let’s explore how to maintain the integrity of these floors for longevity and performance.
