Threshold question

[Ljc1980]

I am looking to lay wooden or laminate flooring in our entrance hall (green carpet below).

What’s puzzling me is the house has wooden threshold strips built in to each doorway as you see in picture.

If i lay the wooden floor up to these, would i need a threshold strip on to these? Would that look weird as essentially 2 strips? Also when i do come to change the other carpets then they would need another threshold strip so would look messy, as 3 strips!

If I do remove the ones there would there be a big gap between the new wood floor and the other rooms until I do the other floors?

I carried the laminate right through doorways. You can go a bit further and stop with a sacrifice bit to protect the edge until you carry on later.

Thanks I won’t be going right through as if I do change the other rooms it would be a carpet in one and tiles in the other.

I really was just trying to figure out if I need to remove the wooden bits in the doorways at the moment or if not how finish the wooden floor up to them, and if it would look weird having a wooden floor up against those bits

I would remove them and then just lay your wood flooring up to where you want it to go. Leave threshold until you decide what flooring you want in the other room. If you need to cut the wooden floor back a bit to accommodate whatever threshold you then go for, just can use a multi tool to trim it back.

If it is tile the other side I'd just plan so your finished height is the same as your wood floor and then you can just use a T threshold as you will need an expansion gap. Generally same flooring height throughout will look much nicer.

Take out. Make good underneath with rapid repair screed if needed and fit a Incizo bar
