T02 Laminate Molding: Smooth Transitions for Floors of Equal Heights
T-molding is a crucial flooring transition strip designed to seamlessly connect two flooring surfaces of the same height. Whether transitioning between laminate and hardwood, vinyl and tile, or engineered wood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP), T-molding provides a clean and polished look while ensuring a safe, level surface. By bridging the gap between different flooring materials, it eliminates uneven edges and minimizes the risk of tripping hazards in high-traffic areas.
The Functional Benefits of T-Molding
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, T-molding plays a key role in maintaining the structural integrity of your flooring. It covers the essential expansion gap, allowing floors to expand and contract naturally in response to temperature and humidity fluctuations. This helps prevent flooring issues such as buckling, warping, and separation, extending the lifespan of your flooring installation.
Common Applications for T-Molding
- Laminate-to-Laminate Flooring Transitions – Creates a seamless connection between rooms with the same laminate flooring.
- Hardwood-to-Hardwood Flooring Connections – Maintains the elegance of continuous hardwood floors while allowing necessary movement.
- Vinyl Plank Flooring Transitions – Ideal for luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and LVP installations where rooms meet.
- Tile-to-Tile Transitions – Smoothly bridges the space between tiled surfaces in different areas of a home.
- Threshold Transitions in Doorways – Offers a professional, finished look when transitioning between rooms.
Why Choose T-Molding for Your Flooring?
- Enhances Aesthetic Appeal – Creates a smooth, continuous look across flooring surfaces.
- Improves Safety – Prevents tripping hazards by leveling the transition between floors.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing T-Molding
Installing T-molding is simple and can be done as a DIY project or by a flooring professional. Follow these steps for a secure installation:
- Measure the Space – Determine the length of the transition gap to ensure a precise fit.
- Prepare the Surface – Clean and clear the area to remove any debris before installation.
- Install the Mounting Track (if applicable) – Many T-molding options include a track that is secured to the subfloor with adhesive or screws.
- Cut the T-Molding to Size – Use a saw to trim the molding to fit the transition area perfectly.
- Secure the Molding in Place – Snap the T-molding into the track or adhere it using flooring adhesive.
- Allow for Expansion Space – Ensure a slight gap remains to accommodate natural flooring movement.
