Laminate Floor Meeting Carpet Question

nicenswift

Hi.

I am wanting to install laminate flooring on our Landing but not sure how to transition the laminate floor edge where it meets the stair carpet runner on the top step.

A friend mention a laminate flooring nose but not sure if this is the correct way to do it.

Any advice would be fantastic

Thanks for your time

What flooring is there ATM? How does it meet the 'runner'? Any chance of a photo?

And the solution depends on the difference in levels if any. If the level is the same you need just some ordinary threshold like

I think you'd have the stair carpet terminate under the lip of the top step, and the laminate is the top edge with some sort of edge trim. I'd ask the fitter myself.  A bit like this but to your taste:-

Facing the same conundrum here. I have a bullnose overhang on my stair treads, so most of these trims just wouldn't work.

Our daughter had this at a previous property,  she had laminate upstairs and carpet on stairs.  

The laminate stopped a few cm back from the nose of the top stair and there was a bar which both gripped the carpet one side  and covered the edge of the laminate the other side.  A bit like the first picture but a bit chunkier.

- in my friend's house. It's solid wood, not laminate, and no carpet, but I don't see how this makes any difference.
And no, personally I don't like anything here except, possibly, the floor.
