T-Moldings
Must be used in areas where the room is larger than 80' (24.38 mm) in plank length or wider than 52' (15.85
mm) in board width. May also be used where the flooring continues through a doorway or passageway into
another room.
If Installing Without The Track System:
1. Screw or nail a temporary spacer block 1/2" (12.7 mm) wide and a minimum of 1/2" (12.7 mm) high to
the subfloor.
2. Install the laminate floor up to the spacer block using Armstrong spacers to obtain a 1/4" (6.35 mm)
expansion zone.
3. Leave the spacer block and spacers in place and complete the entire floor installation.
4. Remove the spacer block and spacers.
5. Install the T-molding.
If Installing Using The Track System:

Multi-Purpose Reducer
Provides a smooth transition from your Laminate floor to another type of flooring at a lower height. Also
finishes the space where Laminate flooring ends against a vertical surface and where quarter-rounds cannot
be used.
If Installing Without The Track System:
1. Screw or nail a temporary spacer block 1 1/4" (3.18 cm) wide and a minimum of 1/2" (12.7 mm) high to
the subfloor with one side located where the Multi-Purpose Reducer will eventually be located.

eventually be located.
3. Install the Laminate floor up to the Track System using
Armstrong Spacers to obtain a 1/4" (6.35 mm) expansion zone (Fig. 26).
4. Snap the Multi-Purpose Reducer into the Track System.
Baby Threshold (Only available in some colors.)
Use when laminate flooring ends against a vertical surface and where quarter
round or wall base cannot be used- e.g. in front of a sliding glass door or
under a toe kick. Additionally, the finished edge to this piece makes it an ideal
fit against carpet (Fig. 27).
If Installing Without The Track System:
1. Screw or nail a temporary spacer block that is 3/4" (19.05 mm) wide and
a minimum of 1/2" (12.7 mm) high to the subfloor with one side located
against the vertical surface or adjacent flooring.
