T-Molding Transitions

T-Molding Transitions — modern flooring photography

Q: I have an area of transition from the hardwood I am installing over to a tile floor where the span is longer than 1 piece of T Molding.
What is the best way to make the cuts and join these 2 T Moldings together so that they won’t shift from each other at the joining seam ?

A: If you happen to be using a track based molding you should have little to no issue with movement in the t-mold itself. If you want to be extra careful with a track mold, cut your track some to build a track which area which will bridge between the two moldings to ensure they remain in place, but truly this should not be necessary if you install the trim well. If you will be gluing the molding into place without a track, then its just a matter of ensuring the adhesive is given plenty of time to cure so the trims will remain in place.
