This Mohawk's reducer moldings are commonly used when a smooth transition is needed from one finished flooring surface to another if the flooring surfaces are not the same height (ex: engineered hardwood installed in the living room transitioning to thin sheet vinyl installed in the kitchen). As with all Mohawk moldings, the reducer moldings are specifically designed with your Mohawk flooring and don't require any painting or staining. Quickly and easily add professional finishing touches to your stunning new flooring.
