How to install floor trim?

Can anyone tell me how to fix these two trims in place?

1. T strip - doesn't come with channel to clip into, will be between tile and laminate flooring, I have only seen liquid nails as an option.

2. Cove trim - installed after tiling, adhesive??

Thanks heaps

Hi @SuseMck,

 

Many thanks for your question. Would you also be able to share a photo of where you are installing the trim so members can see what you are working with?

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

 T strip for doorway (can't use anything that screws down as this is too close to a join in the subfloor). Also to fix below.

 Cove trim to possibly cover the silicone job along acrylic panels.

Hi @SuseMck,

 

Liquid Nails would be the general go to in such a situation for the T-strip. Any reason why you wouldn't use it, or have you had issues with it failing in the past? You'd use a wet area silicone for the cove trim to adhere it to the tiles and acrylic panel.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell

Thanks @MitchellMc . All of the trim that had been glued down has lifted (but it wasn't the correct fixing for the trim profile). I just wanted to double check before I fix them all. Cheers 😄
