After installing the hardwood (floating), allowing a 1/2" gap around the perimeter (as suggested by the manufacturer) I've noticed that at 2 transition areas (a t-molding to kitchen tile and a threshold to the sliding door) the hardwood is a little bouncy - as if there's a slight dip in the sub floor about 1 foot out from the transition area. I didn't notice any level change while prepping the sub floor but now I'm wondering if I missed it.
It's not terribly bad, but since the rest of the floor has zero issues, it is bugging me. Which leads me to a few questions:
Are there any suggestions on minimizing this? Dare I shim? After installing the transitional molding, do you think the bouncing might minimize a little? (I haven't installed any transitional molding yet)
Thanks a bunch, kinda stuck here.
