Reply to comment by NotWorthTheTimeX in How to mount reducer threshold by steventual

Ok seems the most plausible way so far, I’ll try tomorrow unless anyone has a better idea :)

Enjoy your new floor. I regularly fix problems like this. It’s really simple if you read the full installation instructions. Respect the expansion gaps and your floor will be great for many years to come.

Thanks! I am doing a few other places in the house, they all have an existing t molding and will need a reducer, what would be the proper way to do it next time? Should I overhang the Lvt tile over the edge to cover the gap? I was worried that it wouldn’t have support under it and may crack on stepping. Or should I do the same thing, leave the gap and glue to the top Lvt?

It all depends on what flooring type you’re transitioning to. Assuming they’re all LVT to wood like this, you’re doing it correctly.

Never overhang the LVT over the edge to cover the gap. It needs to be fully supported.
