I m installing laminate flooring in my house and just got to my front door and realized the threshold won t have molding on it.
Laminate flooring exterior door threshold.
If a laminate floor is not finished correctly the expansion gap may be compromised or the seal of the floor may be gapped allowing the floor to buckle or warp and voiding the.
However doors create open termination points where the laminate needs a transition point.
Measure and mark threshold flooring pieces.
Lay the laminate flooring in the doorway or along the carpeting keeping the edge of the flooring at least 3 8 inch inside the edge of the threshold or transition strip and the same distance.
If your flooring runs parallel with the door you ll likely have only one piece of laminate to trim.
The transition pieces are only for interior doorways.
When you re installing a laminate floor finishing the floor to other areas such as adjoining rooms and outside doors is a vital part of the installation process.
