Transition Threshold For Uneven Floors
This will help you cover the gap and make it a smoother transition from one floor to the next.
Transition threshold for uneven floors. Installing a transition strip should only take an hour or so to do. Thresholds between two uneven wood floors are nothing more than tapered hardwood. A 4 in 1 transition strip is the swiss army knife type of transition strip with interchangeable parts that work for different types of floors. The leg of the t doesn t touch the floor.
The uneven floors can cause people to trip or stub their toes on these surfaces. A typical 4 in 1 transition includes a metal channel for mounting the system with a t molding which fits into the channel and is used alone if you are joining floors that are the same height. The new flooring is often higher than the floor in an adjoining room. T molding transition strips have two lips to cover the edges of both surfaces when flooring products differ no more than about 3 8 inch in height.
In this video we show you how to transition between different floor heights from tile floor to wood floor installations. Where one floor meets another type of flooring you will have to install some sort of transition piece. It s essentially a transition piece placed between the two floors inside a door jamb to prevent a lip. The strip is supported on both sides by the lips and held in place with nails.
Transition strips do not bottom out. Floor transitions are necessary when installing a new floor in your house.
