What happens here

For areas where the flooring meets doorways, such as an adjacent tile floor or a hallway with door jambs, use an oscillating tool to undercut the bottom of the door jamb. This allows the vinyl planks to slide underneath the jamb, creating a seamless, transition-free look. Measure the height of the plank using a scrap piece of flooring and use that as a guide for the oscillating tool cut. This technique eliminates the need for unsightly transition strips.

Goal: Create seamless transitions at doorways by undercutting door jambs.

far speaking of no transitions this is our first section of no transition a lot of Times by The Doors you have to get like a trim piece to cover this stuff but with these pet doors what's cool about them is they actually have a natural Gap underneath so what we'll need to do is this piece I cut it too short so what we'll need to do is get it a little bit longer and it'll go right underneath an exact width and it be looking absolutely freaking Flawless that's one transition and then we got a bunch of other transition to go coming across our next transition here we're wrapping around through the hallways this is important here cuz when you're coming through here you got your door jams already in place the best way to get the best results in terms of having everything concealed is this door jam you got to notch it on the side on below it and what you can do is take a scrap piece of your flooring lay it down use an oscillating tool give it a nice perfect cut that way this piece slides over and we'll be able to continue this transition and then we'll have a little flip transition towards the tile and remember I said the only transitions we're going to have is for the bathrooms we're keeping our work for [Music]
