Floating (click system) LVT - how to achieve flush door finish (all the way to edge)?

[Great_scot_selfbuild]

Any advice / experience on laying a floating floor LVT system. I'm aware of the requirement to leave a gap at the edge underneath skirting board, but we're wanting to have it flush at a couple of locations. Would appreciate advice on the following scenarios:

 

1. Flush/right up to the edge of the sliding door and windows which make up 3 sides of an open plan kitchen/dining room (all other edges of the flooring will have a gap around the edge concealed by skirting).

2. Flush up to a well mat at the front and rear doors. Can we take it right up to the edge of the mat, or is there a trim that would neatly act as the edge of a mat well and provide a cover over the edge of the LVT?

 

Thanks in advance.

There is a trim for this similar to ones for doorways but its one sided. Not got any pics on my phone

Are you referring to the doormat issue, or are we going to need a trim for getting flush to the sliding door / window (i.e. can we not get the flooring to be flush to the edge)?

Do you really need it flush? Can’t you leave a 5mm gap and just silicone it with a similar colour?

 

that’s what I’m planning to do

That would do - I didn't know how much the edge needed to be left floating/free to move.

The trim is an angle the same depth as the flooring by about 20 mm wide, silver alluminium from memory. 7mm odd is to go into a channel then prob 7mm gap and 7mm cover onto the lvt. I wouldn't do it without expansion if floating in a big room or one that catches a lot of sun or heat. It does expand in the summer. I never had any probs in kitchen where I used that trim against big patio doors. I did notice my hallway lift slightly on hot days in the summer though where carpet fitters had fitted door bars hard up to lvt at each end of hall

I used tile trim from my local tile shop. Cut back the bit that would normally go behind the tile leaving about 5/6mm to stick it to the wall/door frame/top step of stairs (as in picture)
