Installing laminate flooring door threshold.

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. I prefer my rips out of sight so when possible i start my floors at the front of the house and put my rips at the back of the house. Typically a piece of shoe moulding is used to cover a small gap against a threshold.

The threshold plate to laminate floor transition point is still visible when someone stands or crosses through a doorway and you need to keep cuts as straight as possible for a clean finish. Make use of various t molds that are available for your laminate here. Installing a floating floor to a flush transition molding can potentially lead to buckling end joint peaking and squeaks later on. Once you trim the door jamb to the proper clearance you ll want to measure and mark the piece or pieces of laminate going through the threshold.

We recently had to install some coretec plus xl luxury vinyl and thought this trick could be useful for some people installing laminate or luxury vinyl floor. During the flooring installation laying laminate in a doorway perfectly is not so difficult when you start laying the floor boards at the wall that has the door in it. But when the last few floorboards of your laminate floor need to be laid under the door jambs or through the door lining or door frame it seems impossible to get them in without.
