    Hard surface reducer question

    Three reducers (two are doorways) and two thresholds and figure how I want to end the flooring at the top of the basement stairs, they just ran the carpet right to the edge of the step. I'll probably pull back from edge and end it in the door casement with a reducer.

    Hard surface reducer question

    Yes, that's the transition we've been talking about. The bathroom extends back 1/2" less than the dining area. If I plan it right a little trimming on the transition edge will give me a good fit.

    Hard surface reducer question

    I've attached photos of the area we've discussed. One: along the peninsula, edge of the dining area and hall, Two: better shot of the wall intersection, Three: a shot of the dining area and bathroom doorway transitions - they are not equal, the dining area extends back 4 1/2" from the wall and...

    Hard surface reducer question

    Oh yeah, I'm undercutting them and the sheetrock to get my gap and fit under the case trim. Borrowing an oscillating tool from a friend. The cartons are plain jane, no manufacturer just a description of material, "Builders Grade" and a part number (which I tried looking up). The back of the...

    Hard surface reducer question

    I've already started removing baseboards. The house is 52 ft. long by 28 wide. The hall is pretty much centered in the house so I was planning on starting against the wall closest to the kitchen dining room area. This allows me to back fill between that area and my starting line with 2-3 boards...

    Hard surface reducer question

    I get the idea. It's along the idea I was thinking on. I hadn't really planned on making my own transitions because of being prefinished but why not, I've got about an extra 400 sq. ft. of flooring to play with (Bought the lot at auction) I hadn't thought of measuring across to get the lay of...

    Hard surface reducer question

    Photo attached, you can see the corner there, that's the hallway wall parallel to the linoleum. Ok. The carpet trim (1-3/8" wide) sets fully on right on the edge of the ply overlapping the linoleum by about 3/8". 1" bare ply under the carpet trim. The tongues will be away from the linoleum...

    Hard surface reducer question

    Do you think a 1/2" gap is enough. I'm going to have to remove some of the 1/4" ply otherwise I'll be removing almost the entire width of the board for the rabbet. 1-1/2" from edge of ply (to overlap linoleum by 1/2") + 1/2" gap?, = 2" rabbet on 2-1/4" flooring and I'd have to reverse the...

    Hard surface reducer question

    Sorry, you're right about the difference. Had 1/16" thickness linoleum stuck in my head. Yes, everything is installed on top of 3/4" Advantech T&G sheet subfloor. I have a small table saw, compound miter saw and a router. I'll need to either trim back the 1/4" ply or reach over 1" of bare ply...

    Hard surface reducer question

    Linoleum on 1/4" ply. Right around 5/16" height so around an 11/16" difference. Boards will run parallel to the edge.

    Hard surface reducer question

    I'm tearing out carpet and installing 3/4" x 2 1/4" red oak prefinshed flooring. I have linoleum laid over 1/4" ply in the dining room. The transition is about 10 ft. long. My question has to do with how to install the moulding. Do you nail the flooring in place and nail the transition to the...
