I am in the middle of a home reno and ended up with several gaps about that size, if not more, between the LVP and tile. I've been putting it off because I had no idea how to go about solving the problem. Your solution has taken a huge weight off of my shoulders and has given me a peace of mind. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I really appreciate this information and tutorial as it’s just what I needed for my floor situation. I was really close to moving on and not saving this video however due to the awkward commentary.
@@SIE44TAR even with underlayment it’s not going to raise it up high enough. You won’t be able to put the transition piece into the track because of the height difference. So one simple way is to do what he did in the video. Underlayment is really thin. I have some from pergo.
@@rashadsmith3435 Yeah, I realized that when I went and looked at it. I've got 7/16" height difference that affects 2 bathrooms transitioning from tile to LVP. I'm putting 1/2" Hardiebacker (0.42" actual) on about 700 sq. ft. of floor to raise it to be even with bathrooms. Cost will be about $600. I just couldn't deal with the trip hazard.
@@SIE44TAR I wish I would have done this before. This house i layed the floor on is going to be a section 8 rental and so I have to make this step up nice or I could fail my inspection.
We use carpet shims ( smooth siding shakes work well also) to raise the floor to the hight you need for your specific job ! They can be trimmed or added to for a trip free transition !
Would have been good to float up the tile before installing then you would have no transition leave a small girl size of tile then grout then it'll be a seamless transition🎉

My contractor had all kinds of little tricks like this. Figured I would put some online lol. Glad it helped!!!
Same!!!
This is exactly what I have been looking for for a transition between a bathroom + hallway. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful in your house!
Wow!!! You just saved my front room....Thanks a whole bunch!!!!
This is literally exactly what I needed, we have a really big transition from bathroom to bedroom and this will work perfectly 😄
so glad it could help!
I have a 2-3 inch transition and this will save me! Thanks big dawg
always glad to help!

well hopefully you made it through the rambling and found some helpful advice
Saved me. You're my MVP today bro. Thanks.
🔥 🔥 🔥 this is the perfect solution! Thank you!
Yes sir you created your own 4 in 1 reducer which I had to do.
Brilliant 👏
thankyou!
Thanks for this. Might need to do this
It's not super hard
feel like you needed an underlayment for the vinyl to raise it to the same height as the tile
I'm thinking the same. I haven't put down LVP yet and I don't want this big of a transition. Think I'll go with underlayment.

THANK YOU MAN OMG
glad it was helpful
i wouldnt use MDF as the filler, but looks decent other than that.
Would have been good to float up the tile before installing then you would have no transition leave a small girl size of tile then grout then it'll be a seamless transition🎉
Does the MDF need to be slightly lower than the upper tile or flush?
you'd want it almost flush so the transition piece can snap into the metal
Work was good, but I prefer to make tile and wood floor to be completely flush without transition piece.
I think you still need a transition piece but yes need to raise the vinyl up.
without the transition you can see the tile edges
camera guy stop talking so freakin annoying
Cameraman just talks to hear himself talk... redic
don't we all?
Looks nice but definitely a tripping hazard.
I've never come close to tripping on it
