Another thing to consider when doing your laminate flooring job are your transitions. Transitions are used when going from one flooring to the other one. For example, you might go from hardwood to carpet, or from hardwood to linoleum. These transition pieces are needed because of the difference in height from one type of flooring to another. Note how many of each type of transition you’ll need.
Laminate Trim and Transitions
For example, a doorway that has wood on one side and carpet on another site. Measure the opening. Usually, the transition pieces that you’ll buy have enough material to do two standard door openings. Note how many openings of the same style (carpet to wood) and add them up. If you have 5, you’ll have to buy 3 transition pieces.
There are several styles of transitions pieces available, so you will have to take good notes and see what is available at the store of your city you visit. In this project you will see two different types of transitions, from carpet to wood, and from linoleum to wood. I also use a stair piece, but that is not really a transition (from wood to air?).
Other Trim Options
Depending on how you do your job, you may want or need other trim options. Things like quarter-round, or edging. Look for problems and then look at what is available at the store, there is usually quite a large selection and most problems are common enough to denote a ready made solution.
