Transitioning Pergo to Carpet
Question: We recently had pergo fooring put in our dining room and kitchen. We had a professional do it. He had to angle the trim which meets up with our carpet. Now about 4 months later, the trim, which is wood and bought from the flooring place for pergo floors, is coming loose all over. We asked him about it and he suggested super gluing it where it came loose. We did and it is again loose and so is the rest of all the trim around the carpet. What can we do??
Jake's Answer: Have you gone back to the company where you bought the flooring to see if there is any other type of trim/transition piece available? If there is not, then you will have to have a custom trim piece made up. A carpenter can usually do something like this. A transition piece like this that relys on glue to withstand foot traffic is subject to failure. Another idea might be to use a carpet trim/transition piece to join up with the Pergo. This is done by a carpet installer.
