Connecting 14mm Lock to 12 mm Lock floating floor
I have existing Style bamboo Lock 12mm floating floor. I need to replace floor in the lounge room but keeping old floor in the bedrooms.
I am planning to put 14mm Lock from another supplier.
Can someone advise what is best way to connect the 14mm Lock to the old 12mm Lock.
I am looking for something other than t-section, to avoid creating a tripping hazard, as my 2 year old loves running over this area.

options vary depending on your skills and available tools.
easiest is probably a 20-50mm wide solid wood fillet sloped to make up the difference in thicknessregards from Alberta, Canada

If the boards run parallel to the interface, I'd plane two of the new 14mm boards to a tapered shape 12mm thick on the low side. Mark the high side with tape for protection. Two boards would provide a gentler slope, and make the transition less obvious. Clamp the boards together for the planing operation. A hand plane would allow more finesse than power tools.
After installation, preferably with these boards placed first, a little sanding would make the match nearly perfect.
