Use special molding strips to transition from one flooring material to another.
Pergo, like other laminate flooring materials, is often installed one room at a time. This process leaves gaps between each room and the hallway or between each adjoining room. Transition molding is used to cover the gaps. In the case of a Pergo-to-Pergo installation, T-molding is used. Pergo makes a specialized metal strip to grip the molding and hold it into place.
Instructions
1. Measure the width of space between the two laminate floors and the distance from doorjamb to doorjamb. Purchase T-molding wide enough to span the gap from the Pergo in the bedroom to the Pergo in the hall.
2. Cut the metal strip to fit the width of the doorway. Use snips to cut the metal strip.
3. Lay the metal strip down in the gap between rooms.
4. Drill a pilot hole through each hole in the metal strip and into the subfloor.
5. Attach the metal strip to the subfloor with the included screws.
6. Measure a length of T-molding to fit in the doorway and use a power saw to cut the T-molding to that size.
7. Snap the T-molding into the metal strip in the floor.
8. Close the bedroom door over the T-molding installation several times and walk over the T-molding to ensure that it is solidly in place.
