Hi, I have removed the sliding door between dining room and conservatory, but with the 20mm insulation and underfloor heating mats, there will be approx 30-35mm height difference between the two floors. I want to lay the same laminate through both rooms with as seamless a threshold as possible...

Hi I am building a bar and it will have a tiled finish. The bar will sit on top of a laminate floor. Can somebody suggest how to finish the Tiled bar and the floor where they meet. I know you cant just grout this as the floor movement will crack the grout, how about a silicone sealant or...
