Use this guide to replace a T molding. A T molding is a transition strip used to connect two floorings at the same height.

A loose/ broken T molding can become a hazard as it might cause someone to trip over. Dirt can also add up under the transition strip, making it difficult to clean.

Step 2 of this guide requires measuring and cutting the T molding. Make sure to perform step 1 before purchasing your new T molding so that the place of purchase can cut it for free.
