    whats the simple solution (used) in doorways where LVT meets carpet and tiles etc??
    I'm on a job where LVT meets three different existing floor coverings..., I've used Z strips before., and they're spot on as you tap them down when fitted.,, but they're no appropriate for what's needed on this one..

    any advice appreciated..

    Single naplock carpet to vinyl tiles I'd of said and for ceramics to lvt I'd use a ne5 bar (stick down strip)

    Have you tried the sticky bars. I normally use them when it's going to tiles or laminate or vinyl.

    Iv used sticky doorbars on a few jobs. Even lvt 2 carpet if you can just put enough of the bar 2 cover the carpet. Im sure its not the proper and done thing but sometimes you have 2 make the most of things and touch wood no problems so far.

    Sticky cover the world!

    Stikatak are the best ones I have used. I have tried cheaper ones but don't stick as good.

    Fit the lvt under the carpet then naplock the carpet on top of lvt!

    I've seen them. You stick a piece of LVT in it to match the floor which is better than the ali bars sometimes.
