Running engineered flooring up to a fireplace

[chriselevate]

Hi,

I am soon going to rip up my carpet and underlay and fit engineered flooring. I am fitting new skirting board so I happy with leaving an expansion gap and hiding with the boards.

How would you finish the edge off where skirting boards aren't used?

Also... two of the thresholds go to a metal door bar with tiles in the other room. e.g. currently carpet to tile but being replaced with engineered to ceramic tiles. As the bar is already fitted and I guess the tile adhesive will have grabbed the door bar... how would you replace this?

Thanks for your help with this.

You want to use a Sqaure edge wood trim around fireplace and a T shape edge where ceramics are

When you say Square edge and T shape edging, what do you mean and how would you suggest fitting it? I won't be able to nail/tack it as it's a concrete floor. This would also defeat the object of having the "expansion gap" so I'm guessing there must be a solution to hold it in place?

Here are the areas that I'll need a solution for:

You glue them down with no nails or similar. I use flexy fix
The door bars have a lip on there for the expansion.
If you call in a wood shop you will see them
