Fitting same floor continuously across 2 adjoining rooms with no metal strip?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.13 PM

In your opinion, is it possible and/or advisable to refloor two adjoining rooms with the same floor, so that there is no metal strip at the boundary under the door frame? The rooms are small (aprox 4x4 metres each) and the type of flooring I was looking at is high quality fake wood (so not the click in boards you can do yourself, or cheap laminate, but instead this stuff that they glue to a backing layer and fit flush to the skirting boards). It will be going on top of a standard wooden floor in a Victorian terrace. I have spoken to a couple of people for advice, one thought it would be fine, and one recommended against it. I thought that it would make the space look bigger, but have no idea whether it's practically a good idea. Any input would be greatly appreciated! :)

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Absolutely fine. My parents have had this exact job done a few weeks ago and are very happy with the results. It honestly does look great. Just take your time to research your supply & fit company.

I believe you are talking about LVT, your sub-floor must be prepared first and manufacturer instructions must be followed some say you can fit over 8m in length without any door plates others don't, and if you don't follow the instructions then have any issues with your floor you will have no recourse.

No problem to do that. 6 month a go I have done whole floor in the flat in one piece.Living room, corridor, kitchen, bed room and all wardrobes. Of course has to be done by professional person.

I try and always run the flooring through as 1 without the joining bar. This gives a more spacious look and a more professional finish. As long as you leave the right margins around edges and neat cuts this is the preferred method. Unless the customer states otherwise this is how I would always lay.
