Many homes and spaces are renovated with flooring that has built-in quarter round mouldings which cover the expansion gap near doors. However, many homeowners will choose to install quarter round mouldings on existing floors in an attempt to match the flooring to the walls. This is a simple process and requires basic carpentry skills. If properly installed, your quarter round mouldings will look finished and professional.

But it’s also common to include one within an entrance hall because there are typically walls on both sides of the entryway. T-mouldings can even be installed in hallways, separating the hallway from a large area like a family room or kitchen.

Reducers are used in these situations for aesthetic purposes, but can also be used for levelling out the floor as well. This term is usually used when building stairs however you can also find them on transitions between rooms.

Versa Edge Stair Nose: This stair nose moulding is an easy installation that should only take you around 15 minutes to complete.
