Correct transition strip from laminate flooring to cypress pine flooring?

Hello, 

 

I'm really struggling to find the right approach for transitioning my kitchen floor to living room.  The kitchen floor is around 12mm higher than living room flooring.  The lounge is floor cypress pine and is essentially the subfloor, the kitchen is some very old linoleum that I've laid vinyl planks over for simplicity since the old floor was glued down solid.

 

Thank you!

Hello @chambres

 

Thanks for sharing your question about transition strips. Because of the height difference between floors, I suggest using either the Roberts 1.65m Silver Junior Ramp Floating Floor Trim in combination with Roberts Ramp And Cover Trim Plug or the Cap Vinyl Edge Qep Cork 15-7505 in conjunction with the Trim Multi Pin Less Base 1.65m Silver 41-7108-mb. The cap vinyl edge comes in several colours, I suggest having a good look at the store and seeing which one goes well with your flooring.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know,

 

Eric
