# Moldings and transitions

### Quarter Round

Quarter round covers the expansion gap near the wall and can be used with a base molding.

### Reducer Strip

Reducer strips serve as a transition from wood flooring to other flooring of differing heights.

### Square Nose Reducer

Square nose reducers provide a graceful transition from your new wood floor to carpet. You can also use this molding to finish the expansion space at sliding glass doors, stair case stringers or fireplace hearths.

### Stair Nose

These transition pieces give your steps a finished look by completing the change from hardwood flooring to stair steps.

### T-Mold

Finish off the area between two hard-surface floors of equal height seamlessly and easily with this piece of molding.
