Installation Guide

o Threshold Transition Moulding
 Threshold mouldings are used to allow floor expansion at an exterior door.
 Wood flooring expands and shrinks with the seasons. Never butt new wood
flooring against any existing flooring or any wall. The gap is designed to allow
interference free expansion/contraction.
 Bring the new flooring up to but not touching the door sill.
 This gap can be approximately ¼” larger than the leg of the threshold moulding.
 Choose a moulding which allows the leg to sit securely on the floor while the
overlap touches the surface of the flooring. If you cannot purchase the precise
fit required, you can use a table saw to adjust to the thickness of the flooring
being installed.
 Measure the distance you will require the moulding to cover.
HINT: Always use a sharp saw and or saw blade when making any cuts.
HINT: To insure you do not create any splinters or rip-out with any saw cuts,
cover the saw line with a piece of blue painter’s tape before trimming your
moulding.
HINT: Measure again to be sure of this measurement.
 Trim a piece of moulding to this exact length.
 Always “dry-fit” any moulding to determine if you have made the correct cut.
 Determine if you are gluing or nailing the moulding and proceed by following the
instructions in the Installation Section of this guide.
