Abstract: An adjustable height transition moulding and method for use thereof. The moulding is installed at the transition between adjoining floor coverings/surfaces, such as between carpet and laminate floor coverings. The moulding includes a contoured cap and a depending wall portion having a series of vertically spaced rib portions along its lower edge that snap into the channel of a base track that is mounted to the subfloor. The installed height of the moulding is adjusted by removing a selected number of the rib portions. The rib portions are spaced apart by slots and joined by relatively thin, vertically extending web portions. A knife or other blade is inserted through one of the slots to make an initial cut in the selected web portion, and the remainder of the web portion is then torn by pulling on the lower rib portions so as to peel them away over the full length of the moulding strip. The moulding is simply formed of extrusion molded flexible PVC.

Abstract: A resilient, semi-rigid molding strip for installation along an edge of a linoleum floor surface, particularly suited to installations where the edge follows a curved contour. The molding strip is formed from extruded semi-rigid vinyl. There is a horizontal top flange and a vertical web having an angled nailing surface along its lower edge. The nailing surface correctly aligns the fasteners, and the web section is drawn downwardly during installation so that the top flange is resiliently biased against the linoleum surface. The characteristics of the semi-rigid material permit the strip to be bent in the horizontal plane without buckling the top flange or footing section of the web.
