Laminate Flooring Exterior Door Threshold

However doors create open termination points where the laminate needs a transition point.

Laminate flooring exterior door threshold.

How is this normally handled. 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. Threshold plates are one way of spanning the gap and making the transition in a doorway. 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.

If your flooring runs parallel with the door you ll likely have only one piece of laminate to trim. 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 m installing laminate flooring in my house and just got to my front door and realized the threshold won t have molding on it.
