Hi,
I am about to laminate my whole downstairs, with the lobby, living room and dining room currently carpeted, and the adjoining kitchen and utility tiled.
I am planning to lift up all the carpet, but the tiles are going to be a big job to take up, so will laminate on top of the tiles. However, once the carpet and carpet underlay is up, there will be about a 14mm step up to the surface of the tiles.
I am considering buying some thick board underlay (7mm) for the previously carpeted area, then using cheap 2mm underlay on top of it, and also on top of the tiles, this would make the step about 7mm. Then I plan to use a laminate t-bar strip to join the dining room floor to the kitchen, covering the remaining step.
What do people think, or do you have some better suggestions? thanks in advance.
