laminate flooring problem

[williams]

Hi newbie at this flooring game and this forum.

Have laid new flooring in the hall, no problems, have left expansion gaps all round and all in all it looks pretty good. Now finishing off with appropriate beading and all going well until i came to the door frames, they are curved not straight edged.

Its one of those Homer simpson DOH moments and I realise now i should have cut a piece out of the door frames and slid the flooring under the frames. Is there any product out there that can provide a flexible curved edge around these frames or do i have to take it up and do it again

thanks

It's a DOH, I'm afraid for a neath solution.
Alternatively: cut a piece of the frame without removing the floor and install a flat bit underneath it, like a kind a flat beading. Doesn't look that nice, but saves you a lot of time

Woodulike. Can I ask, what do your guys use to cut the frames with? Do they just do it by hand, or do they use something like the Fein saw?

Put an off cut of the laminated flooring flat against the door frame and lay a handsaw on top of the off-cut and cut into the architrave and doorframe as it will give you the correct height then chisel out the door frame. You can buy a rebate handle hand tenon saw to protect your hand rubbing on the floor, forgot the name of it though.

My guy uses a Fein Multi master and we spend a lot of sawblades cutting doorposts! Some doorposts have hidden nails in them and then it goes wrrrrrt, all teeth gone (from the blade, not from him) But, that's part of the job and this tool still saves him lots of time and aggrivation.

But Masona's way is a good one if you don't want/can't spend to much on tools for a one-of job.
