Laminate Flooring Exterior Door Threshold

How is this normally handled.

Laminate flooring exterior door threshold.

Lay the laminate flooring in the doorway or along the carpeting keeping the edge of the flooring at least 3 8 inch inside the edge of the threshold or transition strip and the same distance. Measure and mark threshold flooring pieces. Once you trim the door jamb to the proper clearance you ll want to measure and mark the piece or pieces of laminate going through the threshold. When you re installing a laminate floor finishing the floor to other areas such as adjoining rooms and outside doors is a vital part of the installation process.

Threshold plates are one way of spanning the gap and making the transition in a doorway. The transition pieces are only for interior doorways. If your flooring runs parallel with the door you ll likely have only one piece of laminate to trim.
