Installing flooring around door frames involves carefully measuring, cutting, and fitting the flooring material to ensure a clean and professional finish. Here's a concise breakdown:
-
Prepare the area: Remove any existing flooring close to the door frame. Clean the subfloor thoroughly.
-
Slide flooring and underlay: Slide the underlayment and flooring underneath the door frame as far as it will go. This helps determine the necessary cut.
-
Mark and cut: Carefully measure and mark the flooring to match the door frame's shape. Use appropriate tools (saw, jigsaw) to make precise cuts. Clean and accurate cuts are essential for a professional appearance.
-
Test and adjust: Before permanently installing, test-fit the cut piece around the door frame. Make any necessary adjustments for a snug fit.
-
Install: Secure the flooring piece in place according to the flooring manufacturer's instructions (e.g., gluing, clicking).
