Joining laminate with door thresholds

babel

Hi,

I was hoping somebody could help me with the following:

I have taken up the carpet in my hall. This hall connects with a couple of rooms, 2 with carpet and one with tiles. When I took up the carpet there were thresholds in place (aluminium) with carpet grips at all doors. In order to lay the laminate should I take these thresholds up before laying the flooring? If so, what type of threshold should I put back down (the doors are very close to the ground and any height would block the door from closing.

Thanks

take up the carpet grips: there is a thin stick-on alu trim available in Brooks for most colours: else use a timber trim which is t shaped and fits down in a space u leave between the laminate: have seen them in Brooks and noyeks in finglas:

IMO timber trim is better job, but just an opinion:)

Thanks for the reply. One thing though. Some of the alu trim was connecting carpet to carpet. I took the carpet up in the hall but the alu trim is still used to tack down the carpet in the other room. If I take up the trim the carpet would be loose.

I like the idea of T moulding but is there any thing I can use to attach the carpet under the T moulding? Can i just nail it directly to the floor under the T moudling?

there is a single sided carpet grip or else use the normal timber one used underneath around the edges which is nailed to floor
