Hi All
Hoping someone can help me. Recently I installed floating timber floorboards (click lock) in our hall/dining/lounge etc. The flooring went in well, and I have finished replacing the skirting boards now and just about done all the door strips where the carpet meets the floorboards in doorways, but I have one last problem I am trying to figure out.
To get the floorboards to fit right we had to cut the bottom bit of the wooden door frames/architraves, so they are now approx. 1cm gap between the bottom of the frame and the cement slab. we also had to cut the floorboard around it so it would click into place, the end result means around every door frame there is about a 1cm gap that the eye can see of concrete slab/underlay where the floorboards havent covered. I really want to cover this up so it looks a bit more professional/nice. Are there any products out there that will do the job for this? Preferably something I can get at bunnings and the like.
Are there any flexible plastic moulding type things that I could cut out to cover the gap? I really have no idea. I have included 2 pics below so you can see what I mean. Ive been wondering what professionals do in this situation... The only thing I can think of is something plastic that will cover it up, or using some of the leftover floorboards cut out little inserts and put them in the gap and superglue it together or something, with that there'd be a small line where the join is and the pattern would be different.
Thanks for your help everyone :)
