that's about a quarter inch lip? that's crazy. someone is going to get badly hurt
- What would you suggest?eryx
- pulling it back off. ripping a clean line in the flooring underneath with a circ saw and making a flush transition to the flooringterry_cloth
- i would use my tracksaw for the cut though, basically a circ saw that runs on a jigterry_cloth
- It's floating floor there terry. How would you handle the expansion gap required with a flush fit?ETM
- These types stair nosings are designed specifically with that overlap to allow the gap, just like a t-mould would.ETM
- it's got gap to expand on the other 3 sides, if it separates a little bit over time between the nosing and the floor that's your trade off for not living with aterry_cloth
- trip hazard right in front of a stair. small price to pay imoterry_cloth
- also, the boards don't really expand length wise, this is more a case of cheap shit being installed cheaply than necessityterry_cloth
- You're applying how real wood expands vs mdf/hdf cores which expands evenly.ETM
- When a laminate floor is assembled it'll expand evenly in both directions, in proportion to it's dimensions.ETM
- well it's not going to heave length wise now is itterry_cloth
