    Default HELP needed with step

    Reno at daughters
    laid laminate flooring in two rooms
    they're on a different level to each other

    The upright face isn't so much a problem - I can face that over with strips of the laminate...

    Where the problem lies is what can I use to cover the gap on the horizontal (kitchen) side...

    close to 2 inches in some places - and can't be THICK else the G-kids will kick the hill out of it with their toes


    and 2nd problem is... the other half of the kitchen is SLATE

    which gives me a BIGGER problem cos it's not the same level as the laminate...


    Anyone have any ideas to get me outa this predicament please...

    Hi jedo

    Interesting problem-I'm sure there are a multitude of solutions. I just can't think of any. You could check out www.armstrong.com - they list a couple of products that may help- T-molding and Baby Threshold.
    All the best

    Perhaps instead of trying to change the levels you can use the old trusted method for when things don't quite work out right - turn it into a feature instead!
    Maybe some sort of contrasting colour or material?
    Will the different levels become a trip hazard?
    A 90 degree angle or a sloping piece of material or even a rounded piece of material? Something hard (metal, wood) or maybe something soft (rubber) ?

    Good luck!

    Default Thanks Loki

    I think that's where most of my brain energy has gone - laterally
    daughter WON'T have a metal step..
    Yes - potentially a trip hazard on exiting the kitchen - so has to be thin
    something 90 deg angled would be ideal - but getting the width is the problem (least up here it is)
    thought of glueing a long strip of rubber or the likes - but haven't dared suggest that to the daughter yet... (Hey, her dad's a woodie ya know..)
    Redheeler's post looks promising - seems somebody might make and sell just what I'm after
    Thanks though

    Hi Jedo - Carpet Choice sells Armstrong products. I think it's pretty readily available in Australia.

    Cheers
