Laminate flooring transition to sliding glass door.
Measure the lip of the threshold s trim and leave enough clearance between the door and the flooring to install the threshold.
There are different types of frames around sliding glass doors.
This bottom part can make it easy or hard depending on the shape of it.
Trim with a 1 8 inch gap after the flooring has been laid.
Place a piece of threshold trim available at the flooring supplier next to patio doors or similar thresholds where you need to stop the laminate flooring.
When installing laminate at sliding glass doors you want the floor to be level with the rest of the room.
If it slopes down your transition will not sit on the floor properly.
The bottom part of the frame on the floor is where the transition will meet.
Make use of various t molds that are available for your laminate here.
You don t want the floor to slope down or up where the laminate meets the sliding glass door frame.
