AboutDave Coil Expertise I can help. I have installed wood, laminates, tile, marble, ceramics, vinyl, and painted applications. I have done some stone work, but that is seldom used anymore.
Experience My first work was in flooring and interior designs. My first job... every room of the house was a different color of walls and carpet. It can work...
Question I re-read my question to you and I would like to try again to be a little clearer.
I bought 550 sf of Quick-Step 800 (U-845) laminate flooring to install myself. At the time of purchase, I was not made aware that I need a transition at each doorway. Since I bought the floor through mail order, I would have to wait another week before I get these extra T-joints. I was wondering if I would be OK without them (there's nothing on the warranty that states I have to have them). If I did end up needing them, could I use a router to install them? You can see the general dimensions of area I am flooring at www.wantabag.com/floor.htm.
Thanks!

Answer The primary need for transitions are the areas of change of elevations and from wood to tile/vinyl. Carpet would "butt" against the laminate. Home Depot and Lowe's and some lumber yards carry these transitions. ( no ordering) These strips are NOT required...only offered to raise the price of goods sold and aid in the completion of the project.
