Mirage Threshold Installation

When installing Threshold moldings, it is important not to attach the mold-ing directly to the hardwood floor, as the hardwood floor must be able to expand and contract under the lip of the molding. After the hardwood floor is installed, lay the Variable Threshold molding in place. The Threshold-molding should overlap the flooring by 1/2 to 3/4 inch, leaving the balance for required expansion or contraction. To attach the molding, apply one or two 1/4 inch beads of construction adhesive to the sub-floor and seat the molding in place. If nailing, pre-drill the molding to pre-vent splitting and nail to the subfloor behind the lip of the molding. Be sure when nailing, not to obstruct the floor's expansion space under the molding.
