Do I use Transition strips at the doorways or pick one spot to decide the width of the first and last plank and hope it works out with the widths of the different rooms?

    Transition strips not only give a finished look from room to room, delineate one room from another, but also visually level the possible differences in flooring height from room to room.

    With past experience in this ,most of the time the floors will not line up so I would recommend purchasing the transition strips.

    You do not need transition strips if your floor is the same level. Make sure you measure carefully and plan around the doorways that you want to line up. Important to leave a 1/4 to 3/8 gap on outside walls to allow for the outside walls to contract and expand. The vinyl is stable and consisent in its dimensions and will line up if you plan carefully. Start your first strip on an outside wall. They are the most square
