How to Use T Molding for Laminate Flooring

T molding is a type of transition molding used to cover the gap between two flooring surfaces of different heights. It is typically used to transition between laminate flooring and another type of flooring, such as tile or carpet.

T molding is available in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. The type of material you choose will depend on the style of your flooring and the amount of traffic the area will receive.

To install T molding, you will need the following tools:

Tape measure
Pencil
Miter saw
Caulk gun
Caulk

Once you have gathered your tools, follow these steps to install T molding:

Measure the gap between the two flooring surfaces. Add 1 inch to the measurement to allow for overhang.
Cut the T molding to length. Use a miter saw to cut the molding at a 45-degree angle on both ends.
Apply caulk to the back of the T molding. Use a caulk gun to apply a thin bead of caulk to the back of the molding.
Place the T molding in the gap between the two flooring surfaces. Press the molding into place and hold it for a few seconds to allow the caulk to set.
Trim any excess caulk. Use a sharp knife to trim any excess caulk that may have squeezed out around the edges of the molding.

T molding is a simple and effective way to transition between two different flooring surfaces. By following these steps, you can easily install T molding yourself.
