Hey, next time you use z bar Cut a 1 foot piece of clamp down metal run the edge of it underneath all the way to the tackstrip and use the outside of the metal as a guide to cut your carpet, it will give you the perfect spacing with a nice straight cut and be fast! There is an easier way to cut to the Z bar with no extra tools required

Would a Zbar be a good transition on a floor that is all hardwood on the main floor but you want to put carpet in one bedroom on top of hardwood? We didn’t want to remove the hardwood in the bedroom in case future buyers wanted the hard wood.

I use a z bar trimmer, crain makes one, Also I put my stair tool under to hold carpet and tap it with a rubber mallet, this binds the carpet under the zbar and then come back with the stair tool removed. clean and flat. and always stretch away from the zbar.

I have two of those Z bar trimmers, but I have never messed around with them, maybe you could do a small tutorial video and send it to me through messenger explaining it to me so I will know how to use it. Mine did not have instructions in the box when I got it, and the other one was given to me so I did not have instructions with that either.

Hey been watching your videos and love them, I have a question though, Im putting in carpet in bedroom that had laminate. The hallway connecting to this room has carpet with a metal transition strip that you can see the rolled edge, I guess its more decorative instead of tucking the carpet under. My question is now that im putting carpet down in the bedroom how would I go about joining the carpet to carpet with that metal transition there? Do I need to take that strip up and seam the carpet? any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks
@FloorsbySouthernboys
@FloorsbySouthernboys Год назад
That would be the best way to do it if you can get the seam directly under the door when it is closed

Can I ask you...Is it "kosher" to use a z-bar transition to "floating" vinyl plank? You had me convinced this was the way to go, but now I'm wondering if it matters whether the vinyl plank is floating or glue down. Wondering if I need to change my plan! I had intended to allow the z-bar to come slightly over the top edge of vinyl plank. I'm not concerned about the expansion gap here because this is an appx 3-6" "path" of vinyl plank with the carpet (and z-bar) on one side and 1/2" expansion gap at wall on the other side (minimal expansion potential in such a narrow path) I would be forever grateful for your advice and/or opinion! Any considerations I need to be aware of?
@FloorsbySouthernboys
@FloorsbySouthernboys Год назад
I do it 99% of the time, and I never have any issues, I do not like to use transitions unless I have to. You will be just fine doing it exactly like you said.

@macoeur1122 6 месяцев назад
@@karendrennan2811 Thanks! I actually ended up doing this as well. One installer refused to do it (didn't want to "pinch" the vinyl)....the next agreed but I didn't have the vinyl in yet, so I laid a strip of wood trim that was the same thickness as my vinyl plank would be...had them roll it over that...then pulled out the wood strips when I was ready to install the vinyl plank. Not the most straight-forward way to go, but it looks and is functioning great. I can't see how it could possibly be a problem

Problems I see with turn& tack and Z bar or hand bind, is when people clean the wood floor they hit the carpet with the mop,after time and time again it discolors or dirty s carpet edge. We pretty much use tap down unless they really want it. 👍

Flat metal looks terrible and you don't want to nail pound over into a floating floor and trap it from expanding and contracting, zbar is the best option for floating floors that are too thin to tuck too, you Canadians need to get more weapons in your arsenal, every transition is situational

How would you do this if reducing down to a floating wood floor that is slightly lower in height? Or similar height? There needs to be an extension gap for the floor so that gap will need to be covered by some kind of transition strip. I'm not sure what to do with the loose carpet end and how to integrate that into transition strip. Thank you!
