Step 1: Measure the gap:

First, measure the gap between the two types of flooring where the t molding transition strip is to be installed, and the length of the location where the T-molding strip is required to be installed. Use a tape measure and pencil to mark the measurement value on the T-molding strip.

Step 2: Cut the t molding transition strip:

Use a saw or miter box to cut the T-molding strip according to the measured length.

Step 3: Clean the floor:

Clean the edges of the two floors to make sure there are no debris. If the edges of the floor are uneven, you need to use sandpaper to smooth them out to ensure that the T-molding is flush and prevent gaps after installation.

Step 4: Apply adhesive:

Apply adhesive to the bottom surface of the subfloor and the T-molding. Apply as evenly as possible without leaving gaps.

Step 5: Install the t molding floor transition:

Place the t molding floor transition strip into the gap between the two floorings, making sure it is straight and flush with the flooring. You can tap it gently with a rubber hammer to ensure a secure fit. Remember to wipe off any excess adhesive that squeezed out during the installation process to avoid affecting the appearance later.

Step 6: Caulk the edges:

Finally, use a caulking gun to apply a layer of caulking agent along the edge of the T-mold transition strip. Make sure there is no gap between thet mould transition strip and the flooring to prevent dust, dirt or moisture from penetrating and make it look beautiful.

Step 7: Let the adhesive dry:

Let the adhesive dry completely, about 24 hours later, you can officially walk on the T-mold transition strip.
