Transitioning
to Hardwood Flooring
The transition
depends on the floor covering. For example carpeting may not require
anything more than rounding off the edges. For vinyl flooring,
you may need a transition strip that tapers into the other floor
covering. The height of the two surfaces that you are transitioning
will determine the type of transition strip needed, along with
your own personal taste. Strips are from 1/2" to 3" in width,
up to 1/4" high and can either be made of wood or metal, pre-manufactured
or custom designed, depending on the doorway transition. Wooden
transition strips should be sealed with the same protection that
is used on the hardwood floor.
