Any solutions for different floor levels at threshold of rooms? 1cm difference- Help!?


Question:I laid floorboards and when I got to the door found a big difference in thickness between laminate of hallway and boards of the room. Therefore cannot fit normal threshold strip and there is a trip hazard. DIY not my strong point!!

Answers:
Had you considered this before laying the wood, it could have been solved by ramping the floor (floating it from 1cm to nothing) Now you will need to use a transitional threshold. They are available in different sizes so you should double check the measurement. They are available in different materials as well. Since the areas are laminate & wood, the threshold will look best if it matches the wood.


ask for a reducer threshold at a flooring company
Your flooring supplier will have "transitional moldings" which are designed for this and are available to satisfy most cases.
Measure the difference, then go to a flooring store and ask for the 'transistion' that fits.
