Laminate flooring thresholds

NoNameNoNumber · 17 Dec 2015 at 09:47

Morning all,

I have used Howdens fast fit v groove in the downstairs of my house but I cant find a suitable threshold to finish it all off with... I need something that'll span one double door opening around 1600mm and 3 doors at ~800mm obviously all the same stuff.

I've used American Pecan, it's an odd shade that the generic oak/pine etc looks silly with so I'm not sure if I'll maybe have to go with brushed stainless/aluminium to match the fixtures and fittings?

Any idea's, it's doing my head in now!

Cheers chaps

What about just a piece of wood/pine that matches your architrave?

Not sure I'm with you Russ, you mean to get a generic threshold and paint it satin white like the architrave? I should imagine that'd wear quite quickly...

Not considered eBay tbh. I have been through Wickes/B&Q/Screwfix etc and found nothing really suitable... Wickes looked good as they have loads of different shades, 900mm lengths though :/

Should the threshold be screwed down or does in just sit there?

I used a piece of Oak strip and stained it to suit.

Most clip into a U shaped channel that you screw down
As above another solution is to get a piece of solid wood strip and stain it to suit
