If you’ve got laminate flooring in one room, and carpet in the next, a carpet-to-laminate threshold will create a neat, seamless transition between the two spaces, from one height of flooring to another.
Installing them is simple, and all it takes is 3 simple steps:
• Measure the width of your doorway – If you already have your threshold, the easiest way to do this is by placing it against your doorframe, and marking the endpoints with a pencil so you know exactly where to cut. You should also measure the space between the bottom of the door and your floor, as this is the maximum height your threshold can be.
• Cut your laminate to carpet joiner to size – Once you’ve taken your measurements, cut to size neatly using a hack saw.
• Drill pilot holes – The next step is to drill pilot holes in the subfloor. To do this, place your threshold in the correct position – ideally, this should be central across the threshold so that the joiner can’t be seen when the door is closed. Then, mark the screw openings with a pencil, remove the joiner, and drill a hole at each market position.
• Secure the joiner in place – Finally, line up the screw holes with your pilot holes use a power drill to fix the screws in place. Ensure each screw is straight and secure.
