I installed 800 sq ft of 8mm laminate flooring over concrete, with 40 linear ft of laminate T-molding installed in a track. The T-molding transitions between the existing Marble floor and new laminate. In many areas the T has broken/separated and is stuck inside the track while the top of the molding is totally loose. From what I have read on this helpful forum, it happened because the marble tile is anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4" higher than the laminate floor and should have been perfectly level? Should I try replacing with hardwood oak T molding and try to plane or shim in some spots along side the 'T' to level it? I also thought of trying to find a Schulter type metal transition which laps over the laminate and then cutting a marble decorative edging for the other side of the metal to meet the marble tiles, but I do not know which type of metal transition would allow the laminate to still float. I am definitely in over my head here (retired, widowed) and I have not found anyone willing to come out to correct my mess. Not that I would blame em... Any advice is deeply appreciated! Thank you!!
