transition pieces too high!

17 years ago

We had a Lauzon natural oak engineered wood floor installed last week in our livingroom & hallway (on concrete). The transition pieces to 3 bedrooms are not very attractive. I believe they were installed correctly, but it is taking a long time for my husband & I to get "used to" stepping over them.

Does anyone have an idea of how to eliminate these pieces & install a flat piece?

We love the floor, but hate the transitions!

Thanks.

Was the floor adhered to the concrete, or is this a floating floor?

There are several different transition styles that can be used, some of which have thinner top profiles.

Can you post some pictures? I am considering Lauzon's natural red oak (engineered) for our home. I would love to see how it looks with various wall colors, furniture, lighting, etc. Does yours have beveled edges or square edges?

glennsfc - No, this is not a floating floor. The transition pieces were glued (I think with a liquid nails - ugh!).
Thank you.

You'll have to tear them out with a hammer and sharp chisel and then install the transition piece you'll be happy with.
