Floor cover to cover gap

Question

I need some advice on how to find a suitable wood cover between 2 rooms which are both laminated. There is a gap with wood in-between both rooms to fill the gap, as both floors are not level to each other. Need to know what's best to apply over the wood to fill the gap so it looks seamless

Hi,
For your situation — two laminate floors at different levels with a timber threshold in between — the best solution is a transition reducer strip (also called a ramp profile).
This is a pre-finished profile designed specifically for level differences between two floors. It sits over the existing timber or replaces it entirely, and comes in a wide range of colours to match your laminate.

You can fill the cap with repair care  it is resin

You can get threshold strips in any finish or width that would most likely do the job. When you say there's a difference in levels, how much are we talking about? It might be that you need a bespoke piece making up if the levels are massively out.
Hope this helps 👍

If the two laminate floors are at different heights, it's generally not possible to make the join completely seamless because laminate needs an expansion gap between rooms. The neatest solution depends on the height difference.

Small height difference (up to 5 mm): Use a laminate ramp/reducer threshold strip. These are designed to bridge floors of different levels and are available in wood-effect finishes to closely match your flooring. Same height floors: A T-moulding transition strip is the best option, as it covers the expansion gap while creating a clean finish. Larger height difference: A solid wood reducer strip can be stained or varnished to match your laminate. This provides a gradual transition and is much safer than trying to fill the gap with filler.

If there's already a piece of wood between the two floors, avoid using wood filler or silicone to try to make it flush. Laminate flooring expands and contracts with temperature and humidity, so rigid fillers often crack or come loose over time.

For the most seamless appearance:

Measure the width of the gap and the height difference between the floors. Choose a matching oak, pine, or laminate-effect reducer strip. Fix it to the subfloor or the timber infill (not to the laminate itself), allowing the laminate to move freely underneath.

If you can upload a photo of the doorway and the gap, along with the approximate height difference, I can recommend the most suitable type of transition strip and the best way to install it.

You can buy  door strip in different finishes that has a part you fix to the floor between to to rooms and theres a capping that bangs into it, covering the join Leaving flush in both rooms
