Transition strips bridge gaps and level out height differences between different flooring materials. To select the correct one, measure the height of both surfaces accurately. A T-molding works for floors of equal height, while a reducer creates a sloped transition for uneven heights. Ensure the transition strip color complements your LVP or opt for a neutral finish. Most importantly, ensure the transition strip is installed so the floor can still move underneath it to accommodate expansion and contraction.

How are transition strips selected for luxury vinyl?
Transition strips are selected based on the height difference between the vinyl floor and the adjacent flooring. Choose from T-moldings for equal heights, reducers for different heights, or end caps for edges against sliding doors or fireplaces.
