Make sure not to affix the molding to the finished flooring, but to the subfloor only.• Use a reducer when the floor meets a surface thinner than the flooring.• Use a square-nose reducer when the floor meets a surface thicker that flooring.• Use a T-molding only when the floor meets a surface of the exact same height.• When a floating floor meets a staircase going down, an overlap stairnosing must be used. All of these profiles allow the floor to float unobstructed while providing necessary transitions.September 30, 2003Page 1 of 1Top StoriesContractingIntroducing the Winners of the 2026 WFB Truck & Van ContestRoad-ready, strong and steady, this year’s WFB Truck & Van Contest winners brought their A game.
