Frequently Asked Questions
What does a floor reducer do?
A reducer ramps down from a taller floor to a lower one — vinyl plank to concrete, tile to LVT — protecting the exposed edge and removing the trip lip at the transition.
How do I choose between an LVT reducer and a Schluter RENO profile?
Match the reducer to the taller floor. Use a color-matched LVT reducer when the taller floor is vinyl plank; use an aluminum RENO-U or RENO-TK profile when the taller floor is tile, since it installs into the mortar bed under the tile edge.
What size reducer do I need?
Reducers are sized by the height difference they bridge. Measure the finished height of the taller floor, including underlayment, and pick the profile rated for that thickness.
