Due to an old moisture damage, I need to replace the floor marked with a red X. At the same time, I want to take the opportunity to replace the threshold. Now I am wondering how to do this in the best way to achieve a neat transition and still maintain a floating floor. I'm considering letting the floor extend into the area where the threshold is today. Can you place a new threshold directly on top of the floor then, or how would you do it?

Is there a solution to achieve a neat transition to the next floor? Today, there is a metal strip there that I would like to remove if possible.

  • Wooden floor with a red "X" mark indicating a section to replace due to water damage; visible metal threshold between two floor sections.
  • Damaged wooden floor marked with a red X near a threshold, showing exposed screws and a removed metal strip, part of a renovation project.
Is it possible to place a threshold plate on top of the floor without drilling/gluing it? How do you make it sit properly then?
 
R
Nah, just ignore the threshold completely, let the new floor go all the way in to meet the other floor, then you put a thin metal/wood strip over the seam.
 
Thanks for the tip! How do I attach the strip over the joint, considering that the floor is floating?
 
R
hmm they should work with the screw that is included.
 
Do you mean I screw it into the space between the two floors?

Cut the frame just above the new floor height and let the floor go under the frame. Then screw a molding with a suitable screw. Depending on the surface under the floors, either in between or into one of the floors.

If you don't want to lock it to either side, you can do that,
