When I install my Laminate Floor, I'll be using Pergo Hard Surface
Reducer in the doorway. I will be laying the laminate on one side of
the doorway, and on the other side of the doorway is a laundry room
which will have most likely a sheet vinyl flooring installed, but at the
moment, it's just the same concrete floor that's under the laminate. My
question is about where the hard surface reducer should lie within the
door opening. Should I plan the laminate termination and Hard Surface
Reducer Strip location so that it sits far enough into the opening of
the door so that sharp edge of the strip is flush with the edge of the
door jamb where the other room starts, which will allow the closed door
to cover most of the strip? The strip is 2-1/4" thick and the door slab
roughly 1-1/2", so it won't cover all of it. Doing this would probably
allow the thickest piece of laminate (which would just make the minimum
width that is normally suggested) material to be slid under the jambs
and lock into the main laminate field. I'll also have to trim my door
jamb so that it will be suitable for the thickness of the laminate and
underlayment to slide under, which is normal, but that will be a bit
high for the sheet vinyl. Will the Hard Surface Reducer and the casings
I'll install around the door later then sufficiently cover that higher
gap, or is there another way it should be done? My door swings into the
laundry room. I'll probably have to trim the door bottom a bit to clear
the hard surface reducer, and I suppose maybe the door stop so that the
hard surface reducer sits under the stop, unless there is a better way
to fit that strip in and look good. I think this is the last thing that
I have to figure out before I lay the floor. You guys have been great on
helping me with another question before on working though doorways.
Thanks for all of your help.
Danny
