HELP Wood floor edging 2cm drop

MORPH3US

Hi all,

Need a bit of urgent help...

Been putting a solid wood bamboo floor down in our lounge for about 2 months now, my DIY philosiphy is "slow but sure"...

Anyway, the wooden floor is about 15mm thick and including the underlay, about 2cm. Where it joins to the kitchen, we just have vinyl tiles a couple of mm thick, so of course we have a 2cm drop between the new lounge floor and the kitchen floor.

I need some kind of edging to contain the wooden floor but all the ones in Wilko / Focus / Wickes seem to only offer up to 1cm difference.

Surely other people who have layed wooden floors have experienced this so there must be something out there to sort this problem. Anyone got any suggestions?!?!

You need a reducer that you should be able to buy from the people who sold you the flooring in the first place. If not try your local wood flooring supplier, they will be able to get you one.

thanks startrekker....

Wickes sold us the flooring but they don't sell reducers big enough for a 2cm drop.

Eventually got an adjustable one from B&Q which does the job perfectly...

Thanks for the help!

What about a bit of skirting board with a rounded /sloped edge.
