New techniques, products and specifications, came about, by someone thinking outside the box.


Ya, my reply, no longer makes sense.

Some great suggestions guys, certainly opens up some options. Gary, you are right on with T-molds being WAY TOO BIG. That is exactly what I want to avoid. Some seem like overkill for for such a narrow gap.

Ken, I think you picked up on something that I totally missed. I may in fact not be getting the greenwood product I referred to. Originally we had chosen greenwood engineered. However, the wife said she liked the color of different sample in the same rack. I assumed that everything in the rack was greenwood and looking on the web, the product I mentioned fit the description . Our reciept says "Roane flooring". After visiting their website, it seems confirmed that we have purchased a product made by "Bambo". I don't think I was tricked, but rather I made an idiot assumption. So does anyone have any knowledge of "Bambo"? I can't find much on the net. I assume since the product has been ordered it's too late to change my mind.

Good call Ken, hopefully the Bambo is a decent product as well.

You know, at my distributors, I can get a small T-mold in unfinished maple (looks alot like bamboo). I think it's total width is 1&1/2" to 2". This is pretty small looking in comparison to some I've seen and if installed nicely, would look good. I understand not wanting a huge clunky looking molding but there are other molding choices; and the one I just gave you would look good! Trims around hearths are customary and done in some way or another. Consider this; What would you do IF your hearth was full bricks? A small maple T-mold would look good. Get one and see for yourself!

If I can get this image to work, here is an example of the smaller T-mold on a Kahrs Woodloc & porcelain tile job I installed recently. I don't like T-molds either but you do what you have to do sometimes.

Sorry Ken, I messed up a good thread, can you do anything to fix it?

You sure did mess things up Jerry. Nice photo! It's fixed now. Thanks for sharing it with us.



I hope everything works out for you. First time I've heard of "bambo"
