I'll be installing engineered (glue down) hardwood in my house. I have two sliding doors that the strips will be running perpendicular to. What do I do in this case? What type of molding?

Thanks!

Keep in mind that I am by no means an expert in this domain. We ran our engineered planks diagonally, but I don't believe the direction matters. For the cleanest look, I cut each plank so it fit tightly to the frame of the sliding glass door. I then applied a very thin bead of caulk along the top of the plank to fill any gap. It looks good, and we made it through a few seasons with no expansion/contraction issues. If I think of it I will try to post a picture when I get home.

It's not a slider, but you get the idea. Can you tell it's a 3 strip plank, floor?

Thanks for the pics floorguy! I couldn't tell it was a 3strip, except from the second photo.
