A client told me my transitions were trash and it changed everything
Honestly, I used to just slap down a standard T-mold between tile and LVP and call it a day. A customer in Austin pointed out the height difference was catching her vacuum cleaner. I switched to using a beveled reducer bar that matches the lower flooring thickness, and now I pre-measure the gap with a digital caliper before cutting. Has anyone else had to adjust their transition game because of a picky homeowner?

Jump right in with a digital caliper and suddenly every floor gap in my life feels judged. Mine's still sitting in the bottom of my truck from that one time I used it to prove a customer was wrong about a 1/16 inch gap. Guess I should dust it off before a picky homeowner calls me out, too.

I read this exact same thing on a flooring forum last week, @stellam89.

Same reason I swapped from T-molds to Schluter transitions - that vacuum thing is real. A 1/16th gap feels small until someone's $800 Dyson starts eating carpet fibers every time it hits the join. That Austin client probably saved you a world of callback headaches down the road.
