Knowing where to end laminate at doorways is important for the over all look of your finished floors.
How to finish laminate flooring in doorways.
Invented by a swedish company in 1977 pergo is the original laminate flooring and it remains a go to flooring choice for budget conscious homeowners.
Consisting of 3 foot planks that snap together pergo floors float over the subfloor rather than being attached by nails or glue.
But when the last few floorboards of your laminate floor need to be laid under the door jambs or through the door lining or door frame it seems impossible to get them in without.
As a rule you want the laminate transition to be directly under the door when the door is closed.
The threshold plate to laminate floor transition point is still visible when someone stands or crosses through a doorway and you need to keep cuts as straight as possible for a clean finish.
Whether you re rejuvenating your floors in one room or your entire house installing laminate flooring around exterior and interior doorways requires a few extra steps.
