How to lay hybrid flooring in wardrobe?

[Sugar]

Hi guys, 

I am going to lay Hybrid flooring on my wardrobe. 1400 x 2350 size. Not big. This is a part of walk in wardrobe makeover. 

I have few question. 

• Currently the walk in robe area has carpert that is part of main bed room. I will still have new carpet in my bed room but how do I go about having transition of carpet to timber ?
• What do I need to make the transition or join look professional ?
• What options do I have ?

• What devices do I need to cut to size, if I required to ?
• What are the process to do it. 

I am sure somone must have already done it. I thoght I should start a fresh conversation.

Hi @Sugar you would need a saw to cut the end planks to size. The only option I can think of is to lay a transition trim. Is there a door before you walk into walk in robes or sliding doors?

Hi @Sugar,

To keep things looking neat and professional, it’s best to remove the carpet in the walk-in so that your new hybrid flooring sits flush with the carpet you'll be installing in the bedroom. This helps avoid any awkward height differences between the two surfaces.

Once both floors are in place, you can use a transition strip across the join. These come in various styles—some clip into a base track and others are fixed with adhesive or screws. You'll find a good range at Bunnings, including options that match timber tones to help it blend in seamlessly.

As for cutting the hybrid planks, a mitre saw, or circular saw, will do the job—just make sure to use a fine-tooth blade for a clean edge. Here's a helpful guide: How to install hybrid flooring.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

hi @projectmumdanni @MitchellMc 

Following is the picture where I want to lay Hybrid flooring

Yes, there is a door that opens to WIR.

Do I have to remove existing skirting and give some gap between flooring and vertical wall for expansion and contraction ? or, can I give a gap between flooring and the existing skirting, and use some small trim (not sure exact name) ? I have seen them using in my friends place, long, think stick to hide the corners.

Hi @Sugar 

Yes, you can leave the skirting on and use timber moulding to cover the gap of the hybrid flooring. They are also known as Hanwood 2.4m Scotia Ash WPC Hybrid Flooring Trim, they come in various colours so please choose carefully.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Sugar we removed skirting/trim and layed ours down with a little gap when meets the wall and then nailed a new skirting/trim down so it sat on top of flooring to hide gap. But I have seen done what it sounds like your friends have done.

 

This is inside bottom of cupboards we built for now. I haven’t cleaned for a while lol  

Just make sure you cut right length or ends up gappy like ours..luckily we will be fixing it by end of year as putting cupboards along that wall. lol
