The plan FOR NOW is the for old parquet flooring in the hallways to stay so I assume a transitions are needed between the new flooring in the bedrooms. And I plan on starting with the guest bedrooms. I say FOR NOW because I plan on doing the hallway & staircase at a later time...
Ideally I'd do all the new flooring at once. However, just off the master bedroom there's an exterior deck that needs work. I also may need to replace the entire master bathroom tile flooring but I don't want to open that can of worms just yet due to an upcoming 4-pt inspection.
Both the deck & master bathroom jobs would mean walking over and working on & around the new flooring in the master bedroom and main hallway, therefore I'm hesitant to start with either the master bedroom or main hallway for fear of damaging the new flooring working on the deck & master bathroom.
A couple of questions…
1) If running all the same flooring at once, what is the proper method? A) Running the flooring right out of the rooms and into the halls. or B) Having an expansion gap and threshold trim at the doors.
2) If I did have to work over and around it, what could I do to protect the new engineered flooring in the master bedroom & hallway?
