What should I use for where my laminate meets the marble around my fireplace?
November 10th, 2009 | by admin |The marble is about a 1/2 inch higher than the laminate. I got a T-bar for my laminate to laminate, and a threshold for my laminate to linoleum, and quarter round for the baseboards, but I don’t know what to do about the marble.
You can put shoe molding up against the marble and either paint it to match the marble or a stain to match the floor. Shoe molding has one side 1/2" and the other is 3/4" You put the 1/2" side against the marble it will be flush with the top of the fireplace and extend out 3/4"over the laminate. Quarter round is 1/2" X 1/2". Be sure to get molding made from a solid piece of wood if you’re going to use a stain, some molding are made up of small pieces that are glued together, It’s called finger jointed moldings, they’re a little cheaper than the solid moldings but can be used if painted.

I have the same on my fireplce…Only it is hardwood to tile….I put 1/4 round down….First I cut it to the correct height to make it a perfect fit. I am happy with it.
